Make your mark on Power-to-X
Fuel tomorrow's technologies with Denmark as your home
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.

Open research positions in Power-to-X
DTU Tenure Track Assistant Professor in Surface Physics and Catalysis for Sustainable Energy Solutio...
This position offers a unique opportunity to build a research career centered on the design, construction, and advancement of state-of-the-art UHV platforms for atomic-scale surface characterization and reaction studies. The successful candidate will drive innovation in experimental UHV techniques - integrating precision surface preparation, surface science-based characterization, and catalytic performance evaluation - to accelerate breakthroughs in Power-to-X (P2X) materials and processes.
PhD scholarships in battery modelling and fabrication
The sections for Autonomous Materials Discovery (AMD) and Electrochemical Materials (ELM) at DTU Energy are looking for outstanding candidates for two PhD scholarships within the field of computational modelling of battery materials and fabrication and electrochemical investigations of new battery materials and complete battery cells.
Professor in Computational Modelling of Functional and Electrochemical Materials
As our new professor, you will take a leading role in the development and application of advanced computational modelling approaches for functional and electrochemical materials relevant to sustainable energy technologies. The position aims to strengthen and expand DTU Energy’s internationally recognized activities in computational materials science across electronic, atomistic, mesoscopic, and multiscale levels. We have extensive state-of-the-art computational and experimental research infrastructures available for you, and DTU provides access to high-performance computing resources.
PhD scholarship in electricity grid stabilization using Power-to-X-to-Power technologies for seasona...
In this PhD project you will be working on techno-economic analyses (TEA) of the alternative seasonal storage solutions, including the “biomass battery” and reversible electrochemical cell systems (e.g. rSOC). The TEA on plant level will be utilised by project partners energy-system level models to understand the different technological solutions’ value proposition for the society.
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.
PhD in Glass-Based Technologies for Reliable and Circular Power Electronics
A PhD stipend is available in the field of power electronics, with a focus on developing reliable and circular substrate and integration technologies for next-generation power electronic systems.
Professor in electric power systems and electrification
As Professor in electric power systems and electrification you are expected to establish and grow a new research group in electrification and transmission systems. The group will focus on the integration of large shares of inverter based renewable energy (IBR), cross border power transmission and system related issues such as stability and transmission bottlenecks. Transmission power systems play a major role in the green transition and are often the bottleneck for sufficiently fast progress. New renewable energy generation as well as large consumers waiting to be electrified are sometimes put on hold because transmission systems cannot follow the demand.
Project Lead for National Partnership on Green Energy
As project lead, you will be DTU’s operational focal point in our innovation, training, and research activities related to the Bornholm ecosystem. You will be responsible for establishing structure, progress, and strong coordination across researchers, students, companies, and public actors.
