VPX-fellowship positions in lithium-mediated ammonia synthesis pre-spin-out at DTU Physics.
If you are a talented and dedicated scientist who wants to join the exciting pre-stages of a start-up, and are ready to hit the ground running, consider joining Nitrofix Solutions. You will be joining a young, diverse, highly motivated, and focused team, who is looking for colleagues that share our vision of decarbonizing and decentralizing ammonia production worldwide.
We have received a Villum Power-to-X (VPX) accelerator grant over a 21 month period, starting October 2022 and ending June 2024. As part of the accelerator we will upscale a single flow cell to an electrolyzer type electrochemical stack. This system will produce ammonia (NH₃) in ~kg/day under near-ambient conditions from electricity, water, and air. The project is based on recent breakthroughs on lithium-mediated electrochemical ammonia synthesis, and we now aim at scaling up and commercializing the process.
We expect to incorporate at the end of the accelerator program, and are therefore also looking for individuals who want to join the start-up journey. This is not a position aimed for someone who intends to stay in academia, as the focus will not be on publications. The position will be at DTU Physics, VPX centre.
Responsibilities and qualifications
We are looking to hire an engineer with experience in stack design and development for flow-cell based electrochemical systems. The science is proven to work on a single cell with nitrogen (N2) and hydrogen (H₂) as the gas input, two gas diffusion electrodes as cathode and anode, and a flowing non-aqueous electrolyte between them. This system needs to be upscaled into a multi-cell stack, capable of producing ~kg/day of ammonia (NH₃).
Qualifications and skills:
The successful candidate is driven, proactive, and curious, and also willing and able to work as part of a team. The project is expected to spin out and lead to the founding of a start-up, so if the candidate is willing, there is also an option to proceed and join this.
As a formal qualification, you must hold a PhD degree (or equivalent) in Physics, Chemistry, Engineering, or Materials Science.
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 terms of employment
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 until June 2024.

The national VILLUM P2X Accelerator Program ( https://vpx.dtu.dk ) provides full scientific and entrepreneurial support to Fellows throughout the fellowship period to help technological concept in the P2X space emerging crossing the "valley of death" between research projects and viable start-ups or transfers to existing industry.
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.
