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.
Daniel Rasmussen
Professor in Ceramic Processing of Energy Materials
As our new professor, you will take a leading role in the development and use of advanced processing techniques of materials and components. This includes ceramic materials, metals and composites, and they may be porous or dense, bulk or nanostructures. The materials, components and devices are important for our development of the next generation of energy technologies, such as electrolyzers, fuel cells, batteries, and electromechanical devices. You must have a deep understanding of ceramic processing methods, such as tape casting, slot-die coating, spray coating, deep coating, including sintering and other solidification methods. With your insight you are able to lead developments, and work with peers on testing and characterization of the materials and components. You have strong capabilities in teaching students on the processes. The activities should be in strong interplay with ongoing and coming activities in our department. You appreciate collaboration with colleagues, and to take advantage of our many and diverse competences.
Postdoctoral Researcher in Promoter Synthesis for CO₂ Capture (Gas Hydrate Technologies)
The successful candidate will contribute to the HyperCap research program by developing improved and cost-efficient synthesis routes for thermodynamic promoter systems used in gas hydrate–based carbon capture. The work will include reaction optimization, purification strategy development, scale-up toward bulk production, and exploration of alternative promoter candidates. The postdoctoral researcher will collaborate closely with an engineering team responsible for process integration and prototype development
Associate Professor in Thermal Energy with a Focus on Carbon Capture
If you want to help shape the next generation of solutions for carbon capture in close collaboration with industry and students, this position may be the right opportunity for you. We are looking for an Associate Professor for the Section for Thermal Engineering who can strengthen and further develop our activities within carbon capture and related thermal energy systems. The position includes research, teaching, and collaboration with industrial and public partners, and you will play an active role in developing new project ideas and bringing research results into practice.
One or more PhD Stipends in Design for Circularity in Power Electronics
A PhD stipend is available in the field of design for circularity in power electronics. The position focuses on modelling and design of power electronics to enhance the reuse and recycling of components, enabling a more circular life cycle. The work will contribute to a new paradigm in the development of power electronics that incorporate disassembly, reuse, and remanufacturing already at the early design stage. In this role, you will develop power converter integration concepts that support design for disassembly. A PhD stipend is available in the field of design for circularity in power electronics.

PhD scholarship in “live” Visualization of Nanoparticle Catalysts at the Atomic-Scale
Are you passionate about pushing the frontier of catalysis science? The Center for Visualizing Catalytic Processes (VISION) at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) is offering multiple PhD scholarships in 2026 focusing on nanoparticle catalysis using advanced operando electron microscopy. If you thrive in a collaborative, cutting-edge setting and want to make a global impact, we want to hear from you!
PhD scholarship in Machine Learning-Accelerated Reaction Mechanism Discovery
Join a young research group dedicated to transforming materials discovery from empirical exploration to predictive design. Our research program builds on a synergy of high-throughput virtual screening, generative machine learning (ML) models, and automated reaction exploration to gain insights into complex chemical systems. This is an opportunity to work at the forefront of computational chemistry and develop new methodologies that push simulations into length- and time-scales that traditional methods cannot reach. You will be embedded in the Pioneer Center CAPeX, an interdisciplinary hub that hosts multiple research groups working on self-driving laboratories. This environment allows for close integration between your computational models and high-throughput experimentation platforms.
PhD scholarship in Molecular Thermodynamics for CO2 Storage Simulations
We welcome candidates to contribute to the advancement of next-generation molecular thermodynamics for multiphase weak electrolyte systems, especially those relevant to CO2 storage, as part of the grant “A new pathway for CO2 storage simulations based on the utilization of molecular thermodynamics (PAVECO2)” funded by Independent Research Fund Denmark.
Postdoc in Chemistry – Expertise in Organic & Inorganic Synthesis and Electrochemistry
We seek highly motivated and creative researchers holding a PhD in chemistry, materials science, engineering, or a related discipline, with a proven track record of high-quality, independent research. Responsibilities: Design and carry out organic and inorganic syntheses Develop and optimize electrochemical experiments and measurements Characterize materials and compounds using standard analytical techniques Analyse data and document results Collaborate with researchers across different disciplines Contribute to publications, reports, and project deliverables
Assistant and/or Associate Professors for SDU Center for Energy Informatics
The SDU Center for Energy Informatics, Faculty of Engineering, University of Southern Denmark (SDU), invites applications for one or more Assistant and/or Associate Professor positions within Energy Informatics. The positions are available from September 1, 2026, and the specific start date will be agreed upon with the successful candidates.
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.
