PhD position summary/title: PhD position: Migration, Retirement, and Later-Life Integration
At The Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities, Department of Society and Politics, a PhD.-stipend is available for appointment within the Doctoral Programme of Social Sciences and Humanities. The stipend is open for appointment from 1 May 2026 or soon thereafter. The position is part of a research project on retirement and later-life integration among non-Western immigrants using unique Danish register and survey data.
The integration of migrants and questions of potential return migration are increasingly important social issues across Europe, including Denmark. As many first-generation immigrants approach retirement age, societies face new challenges and opportunities in ensuring economic security, social inclusion, and political participation for ageing immigrant populations.
If you are interested in contributing to quantitative research in this field, we invite you to apply for a three-year, fully funded PhD stipend.
Deadline : 15.03.2026
(02) PhD Degree – Fully Funded
PhD position summary/title: PhD Stipend in glass materials for power electronics
A PhD stipend is available in the field of glass materials for reliable and circular power electronics. The position focuses on developing and validating new glass compositions that can serve as recyclable, high-reliability substrates for next-generation power electronic circuits. These should be an alternative to today’s FR4 and ceramic boards. You will help demonstrate how tailored glass can improve performance during operation while also enabling design-for-disassembly and recycling at end-of-life.
In this role, you will explore and optimize promising glass compositions suitable for use as power-electronics substrates, connecting composition and structure to relevant functional properties through computer simulations. The project also includes validation of materials in the lab and translating the findings into practical recommendations for use in real power-electronics environments. The project involves close collaboration across disciplines: materials chemistry, electronic packaging, and power electronics.
As a PhD student, you will join the Glass Structure and Mechanics Group and be supervised by Professor Morten M. Smedskjær. The group offers a vibrant research environment, featuring cutting-edge computational and experimental facilities and strong interdisciplinary collaboration. The Ph.D. project is part of the Novo Nordisk Foundation Exploratory Interdisciplinary Synergy project “GRACE – Glass for Reliable and Circular Power Electronics”, which is headed by Associate Professor Ariya Sangwongwanich from AAU Energy. The prospective Ph.D. student will be co-supervised by Associate Professor Hongbo Zhao (AAU Energy) and collaborate with other Ph.D. students and Postdocs in the host research group, who are working on related projects.

PhD position summary/title: PhD Stipend in Advanced Design and Manufacturing Technologies for Subsea Offshore Renewable Infrastructure Applications
As offshore wind deployment expands farther from shore, HVDC transmission is increasingly used for efficient long-distance power transfer, where offshore corrective operations can be costly and logistically demanding. HVDC subsea electrode solutions can support affordable, reliable, and sustainable transmission by enabling installation directly on the seabed and reducing the need for additional protective barrier structures and associated costly vessel operations.
However, safe, cost-efficient and sustainable deployment requires life-cycle management strategies that account for environmental loading, soil–structure interaction, material behaviour, prominent degradation and failure mechanisms, and associated uncertainties.

PhD position summary/title: PHD Stipend to study non-canonical functions of antibodies in neurological and psychiatric conditions
While immunoglobulins constitute an active player, in the body’s protection against disease, by binding to, and clearance of, antigens, viral and other pathogens; this PhD project will focus on studying potential other functions of immunoglobulins. More than 75 years ago Linus Pauling hypothesized that immunoglobulins could possess enzymatic activities. Although some studies have reported hydrolytic activities of immunoglobulins isolated from patients suffering from a diverse array of diseases, no clear understanding of the importance of these activities is currently available. This PhD project aims to contribute to a better understanding of non-canonical functions of immunoglobulins and the role played in disease.

PhD position summary/title: PhD Position in Decentralized and Federated Cloud Computing ( HCC )
We invite applications for a fully-funded 3-year PhD position on the topic of usable decentralization, i.e. on making distributed and federated cloud services accessible to the everyday user. Given the strong prevalence of centralized cloud services, e.g. from Google, Microsoft, or Apple, our digital resilience and sovereignty is built on questionable foundations. By enabling nontechnical users to setup and use decentralized clouds on so-called “nanoservers”, we aim to strengthen our digital independence.

(07) PhD Degree – Fully Funded
PhD position summary/title: PhD in Human-Centered Generative Creativity Support Tools for Knowledge Work
The goal of the project is to explore the how we might design critical alternatives to current generative AI tools to support creative knowledge work in human-centered ways. Many current generative AI tools are problematic in different ways. To mention a few, many models are trained on copyrighted material without crediting creators, and they have huge impacts on the environment because of increased power and water consumption. The PhD will conduct participatory design with knowledge workers impacted by generative AI in their creative work practices and develop and evaluate alternative human-centric generative AI prototypes for these work practices. The PhD is expected to conduct rigorous research on this topic and contribute with empirical, methodological and theoretical findings. The dissemination of this research is expected to focus on top research venues such as CHI, DIS, C&C, TOCHI, DRS, TEI, CSCW etc.

(08) PhD Degree – Fully Funded
PhD position summary/title: Integrated PhD Stipend in Battery Materials
An Integrated PhD stipend is available in the area of battery materials, specifically sustainable sodium based glass-ceramic electrolytes for solid-state batteries. The project aims to deliver safer, more affordable batteries by focusing on sodium oxide materials that are chemically robust and easier to handle than many current alternatives. A key goal is to overcome today’s limitations in ion transport (ionic conductivity), enabling practical battery use.
Working at the intersection of computational design and laboratory experimentation, you will first explore a broad range of sodium-oxide glass compositions using advanced computer models to predict how well ions can move through them. Based on these predictions, you will help create glass-ceramic materials with carefully controlled crystalline regions and well-designed glass/crystal interfaces that promote fast-ion pathways. The most promising material candidates will then be made and tested in the laboratory.
The prospective PhD student should have an interest in working in a multidisciplinary team and perform both computational and experimental materials science, with a focus on the former. The Ph.D. project is part of the Novo Nordisk Foundation project “Sustainable Glass-Ceramic Electrolytes for Solid-State Batteries”, which is headed by Professor Morten M. Smedskjær. The prospective Ph.D. student will be co-supervised by Tenure Track Assistant Professor Søren S. Sørensen and collaborate with other Ph.D. students and Postdocs in the research group, who are working on related projects.
