PhD position summary/title: PhD scholarship in antimicrobial resistance and environmental molecular microbiology – DTU Food
Antimicrobial resistance is one of the most serious threats to human health. A multitude of different antimicrobial resistance genes can cause resistance, but they are not equally distributed across all different bacterial species or reservoirs. Most resistance genes are enzymes that are heavily influenced by different environmental conditions. However, testing resistance phenotype is often done under very standardized conditions (known as Antimicrobial Susceptibility Test AST), and those conditions are not always mimicking the natural conditions where the pathogen was isolated from.
We have recently shown that temperature, pH and oxygen can drastically influence the activity of antimicrobial resistance enzymes and thus susceptibility to antimicrobial agents. Even to such a degree that bacteria that show resistance under normal test conditions might be susceptible in infection sites and vice versa.
We are seeking a candidate for a vacant PhD-position in microbiology with a focus on testing bacterial susceptibility and the specific activity of selected relevant antimicrobial resistance genes under different environmental conditions, including various pH, temperature and oxygen conditions. This will include phenotypic susceptibility testing, cloning of resistance genes, determination of fitness landscapes and purification and testing of the resistance proteins.

PhD position summary/title: PhD Scholarship in AI-Driven Design of pMHC Minibinders for T Cell Immunotherapy – DTU Bioengineering
This is a computational and AI methods-focused PhD. The project centres on building the algorithmic and modelling infrastructure needed to design highly specific de novo protein minibinders (miBds) that target peptide-MHC complexes (pMHC) for use in next-generation CAR-T cell immunotherapy. pMHC complexes present intracellular tumour antigens on the surface of cancer cells and are the natural recognition target for T cells. Our groups recently demonstrated proof-of-concept in Science (2025) that AI-designed miBds can functionally replace T cell receptors in CAR-T cell constructs. The key bottleneck now is specificity: ensuring miBds bind their intended pMHC target with minimal cross-reactivity to unrelated pMHC complexes or off-target proteins. Solving this computationally is the core challenge of this PhD.
You will build and own the computational platform at the heart of this project. This means working across the full generative design stack: running and adapting diffusion-based structure generation models (RFdiffusion, RFdiffusion2, BoltzDesign), applying protein language models (ProteinMPNN, ESM) for sequence design and scoring, and building hallucination and filtering pipelines to identify high-confidence candidates from large in silico libraries. You will develop active learning strategies that route experimental effort intelligently, feeding binding and specificity data from collaborators in Prof. Hadrup’s group back into the design loop to refine subsequent generations of miBds. The successful candidate will be the architect of the computational platform underpinning the entire project.

PhD position summary/title: PhD scholarship in electrolyte engineering for next-generation batteries – DTU Chemistry
If the idea of developing next-generation batteries charges you up then this PhD position at the Department of Chemistry, DTU, is for you! We are working to develop deeper understanding of ion transport and failure in batteries by probing their electrolytes so they can charge faster, operate more safely, and work in colder climates. This 3-year project will teach you about battery analysis using a range of electrochemical methods and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) techniques, supervised by Assistant Professor Leo W. Gordon. The expected start date is on, or close to, September 1st.
As the battery field matures, new electrolytes will be required to target specific applications and materials. In particular, as we consider the use of batteries under more extreme conditions, more must be understood about the temperature-dependent transport mechanisms at play through the electrolyte. It is challenging to understand these systems under operation and without perturbation of the sample. Furthermore, species-specific information is critical to appropriately attribute performance changes to electrolyte modification. Therefore, a chemically sensitive, non-destructive technique is needed to gain deep understanding of the transport and chemical mechanisms at play.
This research will utilise a suite of NMR characterisation tools that can resolve ion-specific information to probe battery electrolytes under non-equilibrium conditions. These methods will be combined with electrochemical characterisation to develop a comprehensive understanding of the transport mechanisms in a range of characteristic electrolytes, and under a variety of operating conditions, in addition to elucidating possible failure modes under these conditions.

PhD position summary/title: PhD scholarship in high performance computing modeling of new magnetic composites – DTU Energy
At the Technical University of Denmark, Department of Energy Conversion and Storage (DTU Energy) we are looking for a PhD student who will research novel modeling of new magnetic composites using high performance computing techniques.
205 years ago, the founder of the Technical University of Denmark, Prof. H.C. Ørsted, discovered the link between electric and magnetic phenomena. Since Ørsted’s initial discovery, magnets have become omni-present in our daily life, and they are essential in the green transition as the main components in wind turbines and electric motors in e.g. electric cars.
