Are you a talented and motivated student looking to join a world-leading research team? We welcome candidates to contribute to the advancement of next-generation sustainable coatings through molecular dynamics simulations, with particular focus on molecular organization in coating matrices, water interactions and transport, and interfacial phenomena governing adhesion. The project will combine computational modelling with targeted experimental validation to establish structure–property relationships that support t...

Would you like to contribute to solving some of the most critical challenges industrial coatings are facing today and are you looking for a carrier in R&D or academia? In this project, taking place in CoaST – DTU Coatings Science and Technology Centre – you will break new ground at the absolute forefront of what is possible with the aim of designing novel or improved organic, high-tech coatings. Our research approach is based on classical chemical engineering tools combined with formulation expe...

The Quantum Matter Lab at the Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen, invites applicants for PhD fellowships to investigate measurement-induced quantum phase transitions in epitaxial semiconductor-superconductor hybrid materials. Candidates should have a Master’s degree, preferably with experience in experimental condensed matter physics, mesoscopic electron transport, or experimental solid-state quantum information science. The project combines nanofabrication, low-temperature measurements using a cryofr...

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! Responsibilities and qualifications The PhD scholarships address four exciting topics. For al...

The European Research Council (ERC) Consolidator project ‘Uncovering a revolutionary way of transforming farming systems with forgotten foods’ (TRANSFORM-FARM) invites applications for three PhD scholarships. Each scholarship is for 3 years, full-time, starting on August 1, 2026, or as soon as possible thereafter. Our research TRANSFORM-FARM aims to quantify where and how farming system transformation with forgotten foods can simultaneously tackle pressing health, poverty, and environmental challenges. Forgotten ...

The Department of Plant and Environmental Science (PLEN) invites applicants for a PhD fellowship in Soil Fertility. The project is part of the research project “Can microbial phosphorus mobilization be primed? Organic fertiliser effect on biological soil phosphorus cycling (PRIME-P)”, which is financed by the NovoNordisk Foundation. Start date is 1 August 2026 or as soon as possible thereafter. The project Biobased fertilisers (BBF) exist in many forms (sewage sludge, compost, animal manures etc.) with differen...

Do you want to turn cutting-edge algae biotechnology into real-world solutions? The Department of Plant and Environmental Sciences (PLEN), University of Copenhagen, invites applications for a 2.5-year (30 months) Entrepreneurial Postdoctoral Fellowship funded by a Distinguished Innovator Grant from the Novo Nordisk Foundation. The fellow will join the Algae Biochemistry Group (ABG) led by Associate Professor Johan Andersen-Ranberg, working at the interface of synthetic biology, and CO2-based algae biomanufacturin...

A PhD Scholarship to study biodiversity at offshore floating wind farms using eDNA to monitor spatial and temporal biodiversity variation, and to contribute to the development of eDNA into a robust cost-efficient tool for marine environmental impact assessment. Floating wind farms are offshore turbines mounted on floating structures rather than fixed foundations, allowing installation in deep waters (>60 meters) where stronger, more consistent winds exist. They unlock vast, deeper maritime areas, however their ...

A PhD position affiliated with the project Packing Frustration in ABC Starblock Polymers is available. The PhD will primarily work with synthesis at DTU Chemistry. An ABC-miktoarm star block copolymer is a material where distinct polymers A, B, and C are connected to a common junction point. This sets topological constraints on the packing of the polymer chains and thus on the nano-scale structures resulting from microphase separation. The overall focus of the project is to study ...
