Kongens Lyngby
Would you thrilled in an ambitious team addressing the grand challenges in catalysis science? Two PhD positions are now available for experimental research in nanoparticle catalysis at the Center for Visualizing Catalytic Processes (VISION).
VISION strives at developing and applying a new innovative platform for visualizing catalytic nanoparticles and reactions at the atomic-level by combining cutting-edge electron microscopy, micro-electro-mechanical-systems, nanoparticle synthesis and modelling.
The interdisciplinary approach aims at relating the atomic-scale structure, dynamics and functions of single nanoparticles in thermal catalysis and electrocatalysis with the perspective of developing new and more efficient catalysts needed to tackle the environmental challenge of our time.
Responsibilities and qualifications
Position 1: You will work quantitatively with atomic-resolution electron microscopy of nanoparticles under thermal catalytic reaction conditions. The tasks will include:
Position 2: You will work quantitatively with atomic-resolution electron microscopy of nanoparticles under electrocatalytic reaction conditions. The tasks will include:
In both positions, you will collaborate closely with a group of PhD students, postdocs and international leading scientists, all working at the technological edge of modern electron microscopy for advancing catalysis science.
You must have a two-year master's degree (120 ECTS points) or a similar degree with an academic level equivalent to a two-year master's degree.
Approval and Enrolment
The scholarship for the PhD degree is subject to academic approval, and the candidate will be enrolled in one of the general degree programmes at DTU. For information about our enrolment requirements and the general planning of the PhD study programme, please see DTU's rules for the PhD education .
Assessment
The assessment will be made Associate Professor Christian Damsgaard, Professor Jakob Kibsgaard, Professor Peter Vesborg and Professor Stig Helveg, DTU Physics.
We favor candidates with a degree in physics, chemistry or materials science. The candidate should preferably have experience in electron microscopy, micro-electro-mechanical-system technology, catalysis or surface science. Experience in scientific programming, e.g. using Python, is an advantage.
The candidate has obtained excellent grades in his/her Bachelor and Master educations, good communication skills in both spoken and written English, and experience in working independently and in a team.
We offer
DTU is a leading technical university globally recognized for the excellence of its research, education, innovation and scientific advice. We offer a rewarding and challenging job in an international environment. We strive for academic excellence in an environment characterized by collegial respect and academic freedom tempered by responsibility.
Salary and appointment terms
The appointment will be based on the collective agreement with the Danish Confederation of Professional Associations. The allowance will be agreed upon with the relevant union. The period of employment is 3 years. Starting date is 1 March 2023 (or according to mutual agreement).

DTU Physics
At DTU Physics, we carry out cutting-edge research in modern physics, with particular focus on four main areas: quantum technology, sustainable energy, materials, and biophysics. Our focus is both to acquire greater knowledge about basic scientific problems and to conduct research oriented towards use in societies and companies.
Technology for people
DTU develops technology for people. With our international elite research and study programmes, we are helping to create a better world and to solve the global challenges formulated in the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals. Hans Christian Ørsted founded DTU in 1829 with a clear mission to develop and create value using science and engineering to benefit society. That mission lives on today. DTU has 13,400 students and 5,800 employees. We work in an international atmosphere and have an inclusive, evolving, and informal working environment. DTU has campuses in all parts of Denmark and in Greenland, and we collaborate with the best universities around the world.
