26 Postdoctoral Fellowship at Technical University of Denmark (DTU), Denmark

Your overall focus will be to advance next-generation solid oxide electrolysis cells by combining experimental degradation studies with advanced electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and materials characterization. You will work closely with colleagues and external partners to identify the mechanisms limiting SOEC performance and durability and develop EIS-based diagnostic tools. The position spans electrochemical testing, modeling, microstructural analysis, and collaborative research in an international environment.

Do you want to help shape the future of green hydrogen production by developing a novel electrolysis component that goes beyond today’s conventional PEM stacks? Are you excited about working in an entrepreneurial environment, helping mature a technology in the initial phase of a potential startup? If yes, this postdoctoral position is exactly for you.

At the Technical University of Denmark, Department of Energy Conversion and Storage (DTU Energy), we conduct cutting-edge research in electrochemical energy technologies, with a strong focus on accelerating the green transition. PEM electrolysis plays a vital role in the emerging hydrogen economy, yet its performance and cost are still limited by traditional component architectures. There is a clear need for breakthroughs in the design and manufacturing of next-generation stack components. 

In this project, we aim to develop, optimize, and test an innovative monolithic component that aims to substitute conventional porous transport layers (PTLs) and bipolar plates (BPPs) in PEM stacks. Using advanced, scalable manufacturing methods, you will tailor the internal microstructure to improve mass transport, mechanical robustness, and interfacial behaviour between the different PEM stack layers. This approach will allow us to explore architectures that are not achievable with conventional fabrication routes. 

At DTU National Food Institute we are offering a 18 months postdoc position on the project NextOrganic. In NextOrganic the focus is on enriching organic feed with selected essential amino acids, e.g. lysine, using fermentation technology. For this purpose, microorganisms that efficiently secrete amino acids will be developed. The vision is that microorganisms, in the future, can be used to upgrade animal feed to contain suitable amounts of essential amino acids to fulfil the needs of the particular animal (pigs or poultry). 

We are seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Researcher to join the research group ‘Biotherapeutic Glycoengineering and Immmunology’ headed by Professor Steffen Goletz, under the Villum Experiment project “Engineering an extracellular vesicles-based transfection method for challenging-to-transfect cells” led by Dr. Weihua Tian. This position offers an exciting opportunity to develop an innovative extracellular vesicles (EVs)-based DNA transfection platform that addresses a long-standing bottleneck in cell engineering—the efficient genetic modification of difficult-to-transfect cells. The project combines advanced cell engineering, EV biology, and molecular delivery strategies. 

In our research group, we develop and apply advanced next-generation antibody, cellular, and molecular glycoengineering technologies to create innovative biotechnological platforms and production systems. Our research focuses on engineering EVs, mammalian cells, and multispecific antibodies to advance biomolecular delivery, gene transfer, and biomanufacturing. A key focus is the cell-based glycoengineering of EVs to enhance molecular delivery, including efficient cell transfection. The group also develops technologies in next-generation antibody engineering (bi-/multispecific and multimodal formats), phage display, gene-editing–based molecular and cellular glycoengineering, and optimized mammalian cell systems for high-yield production of complex biologics. We also have a strong focus on innovation and entrepreneurship.

We invite you to join the Department of Engineering Technology at DTU, where you will contribute to the European AI-Based Personal Language Learning Assistant project — an Erasmus+ funded collaboration across Denmark, Belgium, Slovakia, and the Czech Republic.
The project aims to design, implement, and evaluate an AI-driven language learning assistant that adapts to each learner’s background, pace, and needs, supporting especially migrants and disadvantaged learners through an inclusive digital transformation.

You will become part of a diverse and interdisciplinary environment that bridges computer science, pedagogy, and modern artificial intelligence. The position is anchored in the section Energy Technology and Computer Science, known for close collaboration with industry, educational institutions, and EU partners.

We offer an opportunity for a motivated researcher to contribute to advancing our understanding of how Earth’s upper atmosphere interacts with space. The successful candidate will study magnetosphere-ionosphere coupling, with an emphasis on the electrodynamic interactions that transfer energy and momentum between space and the atmosphere. The position is based at DTU Space, within the Division for Geomagnetism and Geospace, an internationally leading research environment with strong expertise in space physics, geomagnetism, and data analysis.

This position is connected with the ERC DynaMIT project, which aims to explain how Earth’s atmosphere is dynamically coupled to space. The project integrates high-resolution observations with new simulations based on first-principles fluid descriptions of plasma-neutral-electromagnetic interactions. The postdoctoral researcher will work closely with the project team to bridge modelling and observations.

We are seeking a talented and highly motivated researcher to work at the forefront of extreme-precision radial velocity science. The postdoc will be involved with one or more of the following activities: developing and implementing a data reduction pipeline for 2ES to achieve extreme RV precision; conducting laboratory testing and characterization of 2ES to ensure optimal performance and stability; integrating a Laser Frequency Comb (LFC) calibration source to ensure extreme long-term precision; developing and applying stellar activity mitigation techniques for solar-type stars; refining the target list for 2ES and conducting preparatory observations using other facilities; and contributing to the scientific and technical preparation for 2ES operations and the discovery of Earth-mass planets.

Candidates with previous experience in high-resolution spectroscopy, radial velocity techniques, data pipeline development, stellar activity analysis, and/or astronomical instrumentation are especially encouraged to apply. Strong programming skills, expertise in spectroscopic data reduction and analysis, and a demonstrated ability to work independently and collaboratively are highly valued. Flexibility and self-motivation are desired skills at DTU Space. In particular, the Exoplanet Group fosters a vibrant collaborative work environment, where collaboration with other group members is highly encouraged.

We are seeking a talented and highly motivated researcher to work at the forefront of exoplanet atmospheric science with JWST.

This project explores converting temperature differences in buildings into electricity using flexible TEG generators, potentially generating 10-20 W per square meter. Our project addresses challenges in optimizing heat transfer, cost-effectiveness, and integration with façade panels. We aim to create scalable, sustainable building solutions. 

The project is integrated in an international project financed by the Innovation Fund Denmark. It is led by the Danish SME TEGnology ApS and also involves partners based in Switzerland. The overall goal is to integrate existing, flexible TEGs in façade panels, to test their potential for exploiting temperature gradients for producing electricity and predict their long-term performance under real operating conditions. The project also includes modeling of heat transfer and optimization of waste heat harvesting.
