Cross the border and move the limits for green energy
Denmark has a long and proud history with renewable energy and a unique position in green technologies, hydrogen, and e-fuels. That means you will find strong competencies across the entire hydrogen value chain and production of e-fuels here, and you can contribute to the corner of Power-to-X research that makes you tick.
Combine that with world-class researchers and a strong tradition for public-private partnerships, and you have the ideal conditions for doing research that can move boundaries and make a lasting impact on the world.

Postdoc in Hybrid Energy Routers for Asynchronous SAFEr Grid
At the Department of Energy at Aalborg University (AAU Energy), a position as Postdoc in Hybrid Energy Routers for Asynchronous SAFEr Grid is open for appointment from September 1, 2026, or as soon as possible hereafter. The position is available for a period of 2 years and is based at Aalborg University’s campus in Aalborg. The position is funded in the new European Research Council (ERC) Synergy grant on Store-and-Forward Energy grid (SAFEr Grid), which unlocks a new power grid architecture. The project is held in collaboration with RWTH Aachen, Germany.
Research Assistant in the fabrication of oxide devices
Are you experienced in the art of clean-room fabrication, and curious about quantum electronics and how novel materials properties manifest in electronic quantum transport phenomena at ultra-low temperatures? Then maybe you are the one we are looking for! Electronic quantum devices are conventionally fabricated from semiconductors such as GiSe or IIIV materials. In these materials, transport can generally be understood from a free-electron-gas picture, and electrical devices can be effectively controlled by electrostatic gating at the nanoscale.
Postdoc in Thermo-Mechanical Modelling and Experimental Study of Ferroelectric and Thermoelectric De...
In this position you will conduct research within multi-physics simulations and experimental validation of innovative ferroelectric, piezoelectric, and thermoelectric energy harvesting concepts, with a particular focus on self-charging vibrational batteries. You will be involved in both independent and collaborative research activities in close interaction with colleagues in the group and external partners in Denmark and abroad.

The project focuses on testing proton exchange membrane electrolysis cells, characterising their electrochemical performance and developing detailed electrochemical cell models.
Marie Curie (MSCA) PhD scholarship in solar-driven hybrid methane production technologies for bio-el...
Your overall focus will be to advance the development of a sustainable photo-electrochemical process for methanation using biogenic CO2. You will work in close collaboration with an interdisciplinary research team in Water Technology and Processes section at DTU Sustain, combining environmental engineering, biotechnology, electrochemistry and process optimization to achieve more efficient CO2-to-CH4 conversion. The PhD position is funded by MSCA Doctoral Networks program.
One or more PhD Stipends in Coordinated Control Interactions and Local Stability of Asynchronous Gri...
Asynchronous grids (a-grids) decouple synchronous power systems into multiple compartments with energy routers acting as the bridge. This fundamentally departs from frequency acting as the global stability metric and instead focuses on energy routed between the a-grids. This requires substantial coordination of signals using cyber-physical modelling theories and internet connectivity integrated into the control of a-grids. However, there will be latency, packet drop-outs in the cyber layer that may trigger instability locally.
Postdoc in Computational Molecular Design of Mixed Matrix Membranes
This post-doctoral position is part of the Novo Nordisk Foundation RECRUIT Grant entitled “Molecular Design of Novel Materials for Sustainable Technologies (MoDeST)”, which aims to develop a powerful computational platform based on multi-scale methodologies from molecular to macroscopic scale that will guide the design of novel materials to be used for CO2 capture, H2 and energy storage and other sustainable energy technologies. Representative materials of interest include metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), mixed matrix membranes (MMMs), solid-state batteries and others. Physics-inspired machine learning methods will be used to accelerate calculation effort and to provide necessary data to bridge the knowledge gap.
What makes your engine run?
We don’t have to tell you that excelling in Power-to-X is about optimising the complex interplay between the production and consumption of green energy and the critical infrastructure that connects everything.
But did you know that Denmark is strongly represented in all aspects of Power-to-X? This includes deep expertise in wind energy, innovative electrolyser technologies, an ambitious transport sector, extensive district heating grids, and first-class technology providers.
Whether you focus on the production, consumption, or distribution aspects of Power-to-X, Denmark is the ideal place to pursue your ambitions.
