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
Postdoc in Advanced Structural Characterization of Single-Molecule Adsorption in Nanoporous Material...
Join the National Centre for Nanofabrication and Characterization (DTU Nanolab) at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) to investigate molecular adsorption mechanisms in porous crystals (and hybrid adsorbents), including MOFs, COFs, zeolites, porous carbons, and mesoporous oxides, for applications spanning separations, catalysis, sensing, and environmental remediation.
Postdoc within PEM electrolyzer catalyst sustainable development
The position offers a chance to share the unique expertise of the Research Unit Functional Material, Electrochemical Energy Conversion and Circular Economy (MEC) within the fields of: High throughput metal nano particle material synthesis and characterization Comprehensive electrochemical test platforms & energy conversion systems Operando measurement using synchrotron X-ray & neutron Technical development in critical material circular economy
Junior Academic Employee in Modelling Thermal Energy Storage Systems
As Junior Academic Employee, you will support research activities within thermal energy storage and energy system modelling at DTU Energy. The position is anchored in ongoing research projects and focuses on simulation-based analysis of thermal energy storage systems and their interaction with other energy and process units.
Research Assistant in Carbon Capture and Utilization Processes
Your overall focus will be to strengthen the department’s competencies within carbon capture technology and contribute to advancing innovative, sustainable solutions for the future energy landscape. You will collaborate closely with nearby colleagues and engage with both academic and industrial partners—within Denmark and internationally—to drive forward research, development, and implementation of sustainability-focused carbon capture initiatives.
Development Engineer for Cutting-Edge CO2 Capture and Methanol Demonstration
You will play a central role in the DTU team working with methanol and chemical CO2 capture demonstration plants that incorporate cutting-edge technologies. You will be responsible for commissioning and de-commissioning, pilot operation, you will be on site as part of the DTU team hands-on and actively involved in ensuring that the plants operate as intended. Prior to commissioning, you will prepare and support the installation of the plants at the site and carry out planned modifications and improvements
PhD fellowships in experimental materials chemistry and electrocatalysis
Project 1 will focus on the synthesis/structure/property relations in disordered high entropy oxide materials for with a strong emphasis on structural analysis using x-ray scattering techniques. The project will concern how structural disorder can be controlled in metal oxide synthesis. The candidate will be involved in the development of synthesis methods for oxides with structural disorder and will advance structural characterization of the materials using high-level synchrotron techniques. The candidate will be especially involved in understanding the structural changes taking place during synthesis reactions, and in situ synchrotron experiments will be central for the work. A major part of the PhD project will be data acquisition and high-level analysis. The project will be supervised by Kirsten M. Ø. Jensen. Project 2 concerns the electrocatalytic properties of mixed metal oxides. Mixed-metal oxides represent a promising strategy for the design of economically and environmentally scalable catalysts and supports for water electrolyzers. However, finding optimal materials requires exploration of a vast composition space, the exploration of which requires medium- to high-throughput methods of synthesis, characterization and testing. We are looking for a PhD candidate to develop and apply such methods.
Integrated PhD Stipend in Battery Materials
An Integrated PhD stipend is available in the area of battery materials, specifically sustainable sodium based glass-ceramic electrolytes for solid-state batteries. The project aims to deliver safer, more affordable batteries by focusing on sodium oxide materials that are chemically robust and easier to handle than many current alternatives. A key goal is to overcome today’s limitations in ion transport (ionic conductivity), enabling practical battery use.
