Recipient of the Villum Kann Rasmussen Professorship, Bent Flyvbjerg's research group at The Danish Institute for IT Program Management is seeking one or more Postdoctoral candidates. The main areas of research are IT projects and IT program management. Applicants are not required to have research experience in these fields. Candidates with backgrounds in statistics, economics, business administration, geography, biology, engineering, physics, or similar fields are encouraged to apply. The Postdoctoral Research Fellow will be responsible for both their own research and publications, as well as supporting other research activities within DIIP, predominantly those of VKR Professor Bent Flyvbjerg.

Development Engineer in process design and simulation
DTU Chemistry at the Technical University of Denmark seeks a highly motivated development engineer for an innovation project dealing with CO2 reforming funded by the Villum Power-to-X Accelerator program (https://vpx.dtu.dk). You will occupy a position that is fully funded for a period of two years.

PhD scholarship in Li-Metal all Solid-State Battery with Ceramic Electrolyte
The aim of the PhD work is to fabricate a solid-state Li metal battery with a performance at par with the state-of-the-art liquid electrolyte Li-ion battery. This would be achieved by obtaining a better understanding of cathode-electrolyte interfacial integrity and dendrite growth mechanisms.

PhD scholarship in Dynamic Properties in Electrolyte Solutions
This PhD project is part of the ERC Consolidator Grant “Revolutionizing molecular thermodynamics by water and electrolytes (REMOTE)”, which aims to unravel the intricate relationships between fluid structures, molecular interactions, and macroscopic properties, deepen the fundamental understanding of molecular thermodynamics, and realize the importance of different types of properties in selecting the most physically sound thermodynamic model for water and electrolytes.

PhD scholarship Modelling Green Maritime Fuel Transition taking into Account Risk and Uncertainty
We are looking for a talented and motivated applicant who wants to gain hands-on experience in cutting-edge energy modeling and analysis and impact the green transition while working alongside a dedicated team that values collaboration and mentorship.

PhD scholarship in Advanced Modelling for Sustainable Chemical and Blend Design
If you are establishing your career as a scientist and looking to contribute to the decarbonization of maritime shipping, this might be an ideal project and position for you. At DTU Chemical Engineering, as part of the SEAFAIRER (Horizon Europe Innovation Action) project team, you will break new ground at the forefront of advanced biofuel technologies.

Postdoc Fellowship on the Development of Materials Acceleration Platform for Synthesis and Character...
The position specifically targets furthering the development of our Decentralized and AsynchroNous Materials Acceleration Platform (DANMAP) to enable accelerated closed-loop discovery and characterization of nanostructured materials for Power2X applications.

Postdoc in electrodialysis
The position is based in the Section for Electrochemical Materials, and the project focuses on fabrication, characterization, and testing of bipolar membranes in electrodialysis cells for CO2 capture.

Postdoc in synthesis and development of heterogeneous catalysts for CO2 utilization
DTU Chemistry at the Technical University of Denmark seeks a highly motivated postdoc for the pre-commercial startup Reformable, which is an innovation project dealing with CO2 reforming funded by the Villum Power-to-X Accelerator program (https://vpx.dtu.dk). The postdoc is fully funded over two-year period.

Two DTU Tenure Track Assistant/Associate Professors in AI4Science and AI4Materials
The Tenure Track Professors will be anchored in the two large-scale and long-term Pioneer Centers for Accelerating P2X Materials Discovery (CAPeX) and Artificial Intelligence (P1) and have joint affiliation at both departments (see descriptions of the departments and pioneer centers below).

Associate Professor or DTU Tenure Track Assistant Professor in Chemistry
You will become part of one of the three sections within the department, i.e. inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry or physical chemistry. The full-time position is open for candidates within all research areas of chemistry and is available from the fall of 2025. Candidates working within automatization, electrocatalysis, chemical energy storage, materials chemistry, protein engineering, and application of machine learning in chemistry are particularly encouraged to apply.

Professor in Insertion- and Conversion-type Batteries
The Department of Energy Conversion and Storage (DTU Energy) invites applications for their full professor position in insertion- and conversion-type batteries – from materials to cells. As their new professor, you will be among about 300 inspiring colleagues in the department, located centrally at DTU Lyngby Campus, in the Copenhagen area. One important value of theirs is cooperation, and they believe that you can achieve world-class results together. Your research leadership is of the utmost importance, and therefore it is vital that you are an empathetic role model that fosters and nurtures inspiring environments, e.g. by inclusion and openness. DTU Energy strives for a decent work-life balance.

Postdoc in Advanced characterization of sorbents for small-scale carbon capture
If you are in the early stage of your career as scientists and your dream is to work on the development of novel materials and technologies for carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS), you find an ideal platform at here at DTU Energy for your ambitions.
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.
