Accessing orbitronics and twistronics with microscopic and ultrafast angle-resolved photoemission sp...
The Department of Physics and Astronomy, Aarhus University, invites applications for a PhD position, starting February 1st, 2027, offering applicants an exciting opportunity to join a new research project on orbitronics and metastable states in two-dimensional quantum materials. The project involves fabrication of devices and their integration with the existing angle-resolved photoemission (ARPES) infrastructure at the ASTRID2 light source to discover quantum geometric effects and their link to new forms of transport phenomena. The aim of the project is to develop new types of 2D material devices that can realize orbital, spin and valley Hall effects that form the basis for prototypical memory devices. A series of novel infrastructures will be applied to achieve these goals, including semi-automated fabrication systems in inert environments, clean-room facilities for device production, micro-focused synchrotron light for ARPES characterization at ASTRID2 as well as ultrafast femtosecond laser pulses for optical control of the materials.
Postdoctoral Positions in Mathematics
The Department of Mathematical Sciences has strong research groups in many areas of mathematics, and has an active postdoc and visitors' program. Applicants in all areas of mathematics covered by the research groups of the department will be considered. In particular, there will be postdoc stipends in the following specific areas/centers of the department: Algebraic and arithmetic geometry, applied algebra, geometric group theory, combinatorics, geometry and geometric analysis, Lie theory, representation theory, number theory, and topology, as covered by the Section for Algebra & Geometry and the Copenhagen Centre for Geometry & Topology (GeoTop). Functional analysis, operator algebras, geometric group theory, descriptive set theory, harmonic and classical analysis, history of mathematics, mathematical physics, partial differential equations, quantum information and quantum computing, as covered by the section Analysis and Quantum, the Center for the Mathematics of Quantum Theory (QMATH), and the Quantum for Life Center.
Postdoc in nanoscale quantum imaging with scanning NV magnetometry
Do you want to contribute to a greener future by introducing state-of-the-art scanning nitrogen-vacancy (NV) magnetometry to visualize buried functional processes in energy and electronic materials that are otherwise inaccessible to materials scientists? At DTU Energy, our research targets 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 using NV magnetometry. You will work in a large team and must therefore both thrive in team-based research as well as contribute to a productive and pleasant research environment. During the project, you will work closely together with material scientists providing you with energy/electronic materials and devices as well as colleagues who will complement your work with DFT, phase-field and FEM simulations. You will also have the opportunity to carry out simulations applying our pre-established numerical models, if you so desire.

Postdoc position for Investigating the Non-Scalable Quantum Size Regime in Catalysis
The Section for Surface Physics & Catalysis (SurfCat) is looking for candidates for a postdoc position for Investigating the Non-Scalable Quantum Size Regime in Catalysis. This postdoctoral position is part of a Novo Nordisk Foundation funded project investigating the Non-Scalable Quantum Size Regime in Catalysis. You will take charge of the electrochemical activity testing of size-selected bimetallic cluster catalysts for the electrochemical CO(2) reduction reaction (CO(2)RR), working with clusters produced in-house via a mass-selected cluster source. Your main task will be to quantify intrinsic CO(2)RR activity and, critically, product selectivity at the very low site densities characteristic of mass-selected cluster catalysts, using a membrane-based electrochemical mass spectrometry (EC-MS) setup for real-time, quantitative detection of gaseous and volatile liquid products. These measurements will together with atomic-scale structural characterization establish how quantum-size effects and heteroatomic ensembles in bimetallic clusters govern activity and selectivity. Throughout, you will maintain strict sample integrity between synthesis and electrochemical testing (via UHV or inert-atmosphere transfer) to preserve true structure–function relationships, and you will correlate your electrochemical findings with structural and compositional data from STM, (S)TEM, XPS, ISS, and EXAFS, feeding results back into the project's closed-loop methodology
