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.

Postdoc in Data-driven (AI) Digital Twin modelling for Power Systems applying Power-2-X capacity
At the Faculty of Engineering and Science, AAU Energy, a position as Post Doc. is open for appointment from 1st September 2025 or soon after. The position is for 2 years, and it is funded in the new Danish Pioneer Center for Accelerating P2X Materials Discovery (CAPeX).

Post-doc on modeling of multiphase flows
You will be contributing to an international project with industrial and academic partners. The overall goal of the project is to optimize the design of water eletrolyzers for efficient green energy production. You will be conducting Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) simulations, which will be instrumental to the overarching goal of the project. The main focus of the simulations will be on two-phase flows with complex topologies in electrolyzer manifolds.

Postdoc in high temperature polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells
The main focus of the postdoc work is development and characterization novel materials including catalysts and polymer membranes for high temperature polymer fuel cells. You will work closely with colleagues from DTU Energy, Danish industrial and international partners within a polymer fuel cell project. The project targets include lifting lower TRL material production (catalyst synthesis and membrane fabrication, developing medium TRL MEA manufacturing (structures and methods), and providing high TRL reference MEAs in industrial stacks and test capacity for validation of the materials/components in operational environment.
