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.

PhD scholarship in Functional Polymers as Active Environments for Complex Electrochemical Reactions
The overarching aim of the project is to define and tune how the polymer microenvironment governs a multistep electrochemical reaction, and to translate this understanding into design principles for functional polymer surface enhancers for C-N coupling.
PhD fellowship in Theoretical Catalysis
The aim is to understand and discover materials for catalyzing electrochemical reactions. The first project is focused on catalysis on high entropy alloys and understanding their activity in energy conversion reactions. The second project is focused on modelling stability of electrocatalyst materials. The aim is to develop a framework to predict metastability of catalyst materials. Among the methods used will be Density Functional Theory, statistics, machine-learning and dynamics.
Postdoc in Nickel-Coated Nanofibers for Alkaline Water Electrolysis
Your overall focus will be to develop and optimise nickel-coated nanofiber materials as electrocatalysts and electrode architectures for alkaline water electrolysis, establishing structure–performance relationships to guide durable, high-performance, low-cost electrode design.
PhD Stipend in Digital Twin Modelling and Multi-Timescale Optimization of Electrolysis Systems
You will develop and validate digital-twin and optimization methods for electrolysis systems, working both independently and collaboratively with the group and with academic and industrial partners.
PhD scholarship for Electrochemical Direct Air Capture (e-DAC) and CO2 Conversion
You will develop a molecular- and system-level understanding of CO2 capture and conversion, enabling improved efficiency, stability, and energy performance compared to current state-of-the-art technologies. The work will be primarily computational, with targeted experimental validation where needed, within a multidisciplinary research environment.
Postdoc Position in System Optimization Using Digital Twin for Power-to-X processes
This two-year postdoctoral project focuses on the system-level integration and optimization of electrolyzer digital twins within CAPeX — considering how component-level electrolyzer models and digital twins can be incorporated into broader Power-to-X systems involving renewable generation, power conversion, power system integration, energy and hydrogen storage, downstream processes, and energy demand.
PhD scholarship in CO2 valorization by integrated electrochemistry and chemical catalysis
Are you interested in developing innovative chemical technology that advance decarbonization, electrification and CO2 utilization as pillars of a green transition? A PhD position focused on combining electrochemical CO2 conversion with homogeneous catalysis by pioneering methods is now offered at DTU Chemistry within the Centre for Catalysis and Sustainable Chemistry. You will join an international environment applying an application-oriented research strategy to develop novel chemistry and processes with the potential to secure the future for the next generations in terms of energy, resources and the environment.
Postdoc position for Developing new and Stable Iridium based Electrocatalysts for Water Splitting
We are aiming at developing viable Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) electrolysers for water splitting producing hydrogen. Current technology works but relies on the scarce and expensive Iridium and a goal it therefore to further develop the technology making savings on the Ir-loading and at the same time enhance it stability towards corrosion.
PhD scholarship in Thermodynamic and Process Modelling for Novel CO2 Capture Solvents
You will work in a team developing advanced thermodynamic and process models in order to describe CO2 capture processes using promising novel solvents. You will develop ways to parameterize these novel solvents, where detailed physical data may be scarce. You will integrate our suite of thermodynamic and unit operation models into commercial process simulators.
Post Doc position in transition metal catalysis and carbon capture
You will be contributing to the development of catalytic methods based on transition metal catalysis applied to the conversion of specific plastic types to carbon capture materials. The position will focus on different catalytic processes and improving their performance for upscaling the production of CO2 capture materials, and then their combined use in CO2 capture and conversion.
PhD Student in Computational Molecular Design
You will contribute to the development of a platform for the design of novel materials to be used for sustainable energy technologies, such as CO2 capture, H2 storage and others.
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.
