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.

Postdocs for new European research project at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering
The Section for Electrical Energy Technology at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE), Aarhus University, is in a phase of rapid growth in both education and research, currently running more than ten large-scale projects. We invite applications for several postdoctoral positions, offering an exciting opportunity to join major national and European-funded research initiatives focusing on: Next-generation energy storage systems Power converter design for Power-to-X (PtX) solutions Microgrid applications Quantum computing in power systems And other emerging technologies in the energy sector
PhD scholarship in computational chemistry and machine learning for organic electrolyte stability
We invite applications for a 3-year PhD scholarship at DTU Energy. The project will integrate innovative physics-based atomistic modeling methods and data-driven inverse molecular design to develop new high-potential organic flow battery electrolytes with unprecedented stability. The computational work will be done in close collaboration with an experimental counterpart.
Postdoc in Hydroprocessing of Solvothermal Bio-Oils
The activities at DTU involves investigating catalytic upgrading of solvothermal bio-oil through hydroprocessing such as hydrodeoxygenation and hydrocracking using high pressure batch and possibly continuous reactors. Key properties of the raw and upgraded oils as determined by various characterization techniques will be compared to determine the extent of improvement in oil properties. You will be based at DTU Chemical Engineering, in the CHEC research centre in a dynamic international research environment.
Postdoc position in visualizing dendrites in solid-state batteries using nanoscale quantum sensing
Do you want to contribute to a greener future where state-of-the-art scanning nitrogen vacancy (NV) magnetometry is introduced to visualize buried functional processes in energy materials, which are otherwise inaccessible to material scientists? At DTU Energy, our research is targeting exactly this, and to reach these goals, we are looking for a postdoc to work at the interface between future energy materials and state-of-the-art quantum sensing with NV magnetometry. In this project, we will visualize the nanoscale dynamics and growth of lithium dendrites in solid-state batteries using nanoscale quantum sensing. This will be done in a young, dynamic, and collaborative team at DTU Energy. We will collaborate closely with solid-state battery expert Prof. Jennifer Rupp and NV magnetometry expert Prof. Dominik Bucher, which are both working on similar topics at the Technical University of Munich.
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.
