PhD position summary/title: 2 PhD scholarships in Understanding and Postponing Yeast Cell Death in Bioprocesses (UPSYDE) – DTU Bioengineering
A consortium at seven host institutes (Wageningen Universiteit, Universidade do Minho, Danmarks Tekniske Universitet, Austrian Centre for Industrial Biotechnology, Imperial College London, Università degli Studi di Milano Bicocca and Chalmers Tekniska Högskola) together with fifteen associated partners, ranging from start-up to large biotechnology companies and renowned research institutes aims to understand how yeast cells die under industrial process conditions and use this knowledge to improve biomanufacturing.
Different yeast species play a vital role in industrial biotechnology for the sustainable production of a wide range of products, for example ethanol as a biofuel or protein ingredients for alternatives to animal-based products. However, also the lifespan of these yeast cells is finite and their death negatively impacts processes: for example with regards to process duration or product quality. Therefore we developed an approach that integrates the disciplines of fundamental cell and molecular biology, systems and synthetic biology with bioprocess and metabolic engineering to improve both our understanding of these cell death processes as well as the survival and performance of different yeast species in industrial bioprocesses.

If you are passionate about advancing nanophotonics through cutting-edge research, we warmly encourage you to apply. In this call, we are particularly recruiting PhD candidates for the following research topics:
- Project A: Epitaxy and nanofabrication of III-V semiconductor emitters in nanocavities
The goal of this project is to realize extremely small, precisely engineered active regions for nanophotonic devices. This will be achieved by studying semiconductor growth in narrow three-dimensional dielectric templates, including low-dimensional gain materials and tailored doping strategies. The results will enable electrically driven nanolasers and nano-LEDs based on extreme dielectric confinement (EDC), where tiny III–V heterostructures are integrated into silicon nanocavities at optical field maxima - Project B: Theory, design and experimental characterization of nanobeam EDC lasers
This project aims to demonstrate electrically injected nanobeam lasers that use sub-wavelength light confinement to enhance light–matter interactions. The goal is to achieve low laser thresholds together with high efficiency and fast operation. The project comprises simulations and design, nanofabrication in collaboration with colleagues, and experimental characterization. - Project C: Topology optimization of nanocavity interfaces
This project explores advanced inverse design methods for next-generation EDC photonic systems. By combining topology optimization with physics-based modeling, it aims to discover new light–matter interaction platforms. The work will integrate multi-physics modeling (photonics, electronics, and mechanics) with fabrication and uncertainty constraints, enabling more efficient devices and novel applications. - Project D: Cavity QED of colour centers in silicon
This project will investigate the quantum optical properties of colour centers in silicon cavities with a focus on the spin and spin-photon interfaces based on C- and T-centers at millikelvin temperatures. Besides the optical experiments, the project may, depending on the interests and qualifications of the applicant, involve significant elements of either nanofabrication or theory of light-matter interaction. - Project E: Polariton dynamics in EDC cavity coupled to 2D material
This project studies how tightly focused electromagnetic fields enhance exciton–exciton interactions in semiconducting 2D materials such as MoTe₂. Using ultrafast spectroscopy on EDC cavities coupled to excitonic layers, we will test theoretical predictions of single-photon–level nonlinearities, including photon blockade. These effects could enable photonic quantum logic gates and ultrafast single-photon switches.
- Project F: Dynamic EDC for enhanced light-matter interaction
This project will investigate EDC cavities with dynamically controllable waveguide coupling to study a hitherto unexplored regime of extreme light-matter interactions, where strong spatial confinement is combined with temporal trapping of photons. We will focus on experimental demonstrations, but the project may also involve theory, simulation, and design, depending on the interests of the applicant.

PhD position summary/title: PhD scholarship in university students’ learning via digital twins of neutron scattering instruments – DTU Energy
This PhD project will research and document students’ learning outcome of engaging with digital twins of four ESS Instruments. Facilities like ESS are crucial in basic and applied STEM research to address global challenges. However, such facilities have limited capacity, and effective use is crucial. It requires conceptual knowledge, experimental skills, and scientific competences to select and analyze data from neutron instruments. This implies that students who will become users of such facilities must develop knowledge, skills, and competences in a way that is transferable from classroom to facility. Very few students get this opportunity.
ACCESS will modify existing digital twins of ESS instruments to aid university STEM students in becoming competent users of neutron facilities. The digital twins will allow students to perform virtual experiments. ACCESS will make digital twins for ESS instruments on imaging (ODIN), inelastic scattering (BIFROST), small-angle scattering (LOKI) and diffraction (DREAM).
The PhD student will be employed at DTU but will research the learning of students from both DTU and UCPH. Likewise, the PhD student will be working together with passionate teachers and educational developers from both UCPH and DTU.
As part of the PhD project, a 3-6 month stay at an international university (e.g., in Europe, USA, or Australia) is expected with the purpose of performing field studies and data analysis with one of the leading groups in the field.

PhD position summary/title: PhD scholarship in Atomistic Modelling of Magnetically Activated Moiré Superlattices for Tuneable Electrocatalysis – DTU Energy
For centuries, researchers have worked on improving electrocatalytic reactions following different approaches, which include manipulating the catalyst or applying external factors. Despite this, there is a lack of understanding of the complex phenomena happening at the electrochemical interface under a magnetic field. To advance this, you will break new ground in establishing an AI-enhanced modelling framework to disclose fundamental mechanisms coupling twist angles in 2D bilayer heterostructures, magnetism and catalysis. To do so, you will combine atomistic simulations (density functional theory and ab-initio molecular dynamics simulations) with new machine learning models to parameterize machine learning force fields able to extend the length scale of the simulations and, at the same time, accurately describe the subtle interaction between local magnetism and catalytic mechanisms. Furthermore, you will use this knowledge to suggest new ways to optimise catalytic reactions.
Overall, you will contribute to the development of AI-enhanced autonomous workflows for interface. These implementations will be general and will be applied to core technologies of the department, e.g., batteries and catalysts. The project includes collaboration with experimentalists at DTU, who will verify the computational predictions as well as international collaborations with the University of Pavia (Italy) and Paul Scherrer Institute, Switzerland.

PhD position summary/title: PhD scholarship in Bond Decompositions of Chemical Simulations – DTU Chemistry
These days, the inner workings of molecules and materials can be probed and modelled by advanced simulation tools on modern computer architectures. However, the routine applications of the overwhelming majority of all such tools in existence today yield properties that fail to map to bonds, the entities of main interest to most of synthetic chemistry.
To that end, BONDS – a new long-term project funded by the Novo Nordisk Foundation and led by Assoc. Prof. Janus Juul Eriksen @ DTU Chemistry – revolves around the development of new decompositions of molecular properties into local contributions that can provide key insight into the role of individual functional groups and the bonds that link these.

PhD position summary/title: PhD Scholarship in Immunoinformatics – DTU Health Tech
The Section of Bioinformatics, DTU Health Tech is world leading within Immunoinformatics and Machine-Learning. Currently, we are seeking a highly talented and motivated PhD student within the field of machine learning and Immunoinformatics.
Identification of T and B cell epitopes plays a major role in several biotechnological and clinical tasks and is central to our understanding of the immune system. T cells scrutinize the surface of cells for foreign peptides presented in complex with MHC (Major histocompatibility complex) molecules. MHC presents a proportion of the peptides produced within a cell on the cell surface, and only a minor proportion of these (termed epitopes) are recognized by T cells. Likewise, antibodies (or B cell receptors) recognize their molecular targets, termed antigens, in a highly specific manner via interactions between their binding site (paratope) and a specific region of the antigen (the epitope). Identifying the rules underlying the properties of these epitopes and their interaction with the target immune receptors is thus at the foundation for our basic understanding of adaptive immunity.
