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.

Are you looking to dive into the world of CO2 capture, utilization (PtX) and storage? Then seize this opportunity to do a PhD at DTU in an ambitious and rapidly growing research environment.
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.
Professor and/or Associate Professor in Dynamics and Advanced Mechanical Systems
You will join the Department of Materials and Production at Aalborg University, where you will contribute to strengthening and expanding the department’s activities within dynamics and advanced mechanical systems. The department covers a wide range of disciplines, from theoretical physics to production management, and the collaborative environment is influenced by this breadth as well as by the long-standing tradition for problem-based project work.
Associate Professor in Power Electronics
The Faculty of Engineering at the University of Southern Denmark invites applications for an Associate Professor position in Power Electronics with strong interest in high-efficiency Bi-directional Wireless Power Transfer and high-frequency magnetic design at the Centre for Industrial Electronics (CIE), Sønderborg. The position will be at the rank of Associate Professor and preferably have a starting date of January 1, 2027. The appointment is permanent.
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.
