The Department of Energy Conversion and Storage at the Technical University of Denmark is carrying out world class research in areas such as solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs), solid oxide electrolysis cells (SOECs), and batteries. Our corner stones of success are interdisciplinary collaboration within the department and strong collaboration with industry and other research institutions worldwide.
In many of our focus areas, solid state electrochemistry is an important discipline to support the overall understanding of fundamental processes and to be able to improve state-of-the-art technology.

To strengthen our electrochemistry competences we are seeking a senior researcher.

Responsibilities and tasks
The new senior researcher will become a part of the Section of Applied Electrochemistry with currently 24 employees.

Work areas will comprise:

DTU Physics invites interested and highly skilled candidates to apply for a number of vacant PhD positions.

The subject of the PhD project must be within one of the main research areas of the department:

• Atomic scale materials design
• Biophysics and complex systems
• Experimental surface and nanomaterials physics
• Quantum physics and information technology
• Catalysis for sustainable energy
• Fusion and Plasma Physics
• Neutrons and X-rays for materials Physics

Please indicate whether your application is based on a contact with a supervisor with a pre-defined project or if you apply broadly within the activities at DTU Physics.

More details of the Department’s research activities can be found here.

Qualifications
The preferred candidate has (or expects to obtain no later than 31 August 2013) a master’s degree in Physics, Chemistry, or Nanotechnology or a similar degree with an academic level equivalent to the master's degree in engineering.

The Cellular Signal Integration Group (C-SIG), http://www.lindinglab.org, is a network biology research group located at the Department of Systems Biology at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU). Our department represents one of the largest network biology centers in academia and provides a highly multi-disciplinary profile. Our lab explores biological systems by both generating high-throughput data and developing algorithms aimed at predicting cell behavior with accuracy similar to those of weather or aircraft models. A major focus of our lab is studying cellular signal processing and decision-making during cancer progression.

Job description
A PhD position is available in the Linding lab. Prof Dr Linding is a world-leading network biologist and his group is interested in the mechanisms by whi¬ch cells use signaling networks to respond and adapt to changes in their environment. We are seeking a highly motivated and brilliant PhD student to join our highly dynamic, productive and stimulating lab.

Two 3-year PhD scholarships in the fields of organic synthesis and chemical biology under the supervision of Associate Professor Thomas E. Nielsen are available, starting anytime between now and September 1st, 2013, in the Department of Chemistry, DTU.

The proposed research activities seek to develop:

1) Systematic methods for the solid-supported synthesis of biologically active molecules and develop novel screening technologies that integrate combinatorial library synthesis with phenotypic and biochemical screening. Molecular interactions between supported compounds and cell surface receptors and other proteins may be examined with the goal of identifying new bioactive compounds, including GPCR agonists and antagonists, anticancer and antimicrobial agents.

2) Systematic methods for the solid-supported synthesis of catalytically active molecules and develop novel screening technologies that integrate combinatorial library synthesis with catalyst discovery. Both organocatalysts and ligands for metals will be investigated with the goal of identifying new and more selective organic transformations.

For almost two centuries DTU, Technical University of Denmark, has been dedicated to fulfilling the vision of H.C. Ørsted – the father of electromagnetism – who founded the university in 1829 to develop and create value using the natural sciences and the technical sciences to benefit society. Today, DTU is ranked as one of the foremost technical universities in Europe, continues to set new records in the number of publications, and persistently increase and develop our partnerships with industry, and assignments accomplished by DTU’s public sector consultancy.

The department of Environmental Engineering (DTU Environment) is a DTU-institution at the highest international level. We are working to develop new environmentally friendly and sustainable technologies and disseminate this knowledge to society and new generations of engineers. There are about 180 employees at DTU Environment, of which more than 60 are doctoral students. We have employees with 25 different nationalities. The academic breadth and the multidisciplinary approach to solving complex environmental problems are reflected in the scientific staffing profile.

The Department of Environmental Engineering is looking for 3 PhD students for an international and cross-disciplinary research project (LaGas), with the objective to untangle the mystery behind biological production and consumption of N2O in waste water treatment operations. Laughing gas (N2O) is a greenhouse gas 300 times stronger than CO2 and a dominant ozone destroying chemical. Biological processes - the same that are essential for removing polluting reactive nitrogen from wastewaters - are potential sources of N2O.
For further information on the project, visit the preliminary homepage (LaGas)

Positions at the Technical University of Denmark are available on the topics:

PhD 1: Development and implementation of a novel whole-plant quantification tool to estimate GHG emissions based on gas plume measurements. The student will use a very promising gas plume method to measure downwind N2O gas concentrations using a dynamic sampling approach.

DTU Chemistry at the Technical University of Denmark invites applications for a position as professor in Chemical Biology.

DTU Chemistry is a department with the overall mission of contributing to research, development and education within the following scientific areas: Advanced and Applied Chemistry with strong activities in Organic, Inorganic, and Physical Chemistry.

The professor will be attached to the section for Organic Chemistry, one of the three areas comprising the Department which employs 140 persons including presently a faculty of 27. The professor is expected to interact closely with the other faculty members in Organic Chemistry, as well as faculty from other DTU departments and other universities.

The Department of Wind Energy in the Technical University of Denmark (DTU Wind Energy) is seeking a Postdoc or Researcher for the Wind Energy Systems Section (WES).

You will be part of the international team carrying out research in Wind Energy Systems. We direct the research towards issues that are relevant for industrial development and applications, and we work in projects with system integration, control concepts for wind turbines, wind power plants, electrical components, grid connection and large-scale wind energy penetration.

Job profile
The Postdoc/Researcher will contribute to the development of models for wind power in power system simulation tools such as Power Factory (DIgSILENT) and Eurostag, and in more general simulation tools like Matlab Simulink and Modelica. This will be part of different projects including the European iTesla-project.eu on security of future power systems, challenged by large scale renewable energy and increased cross boarder trading of power.

DTU Transport is the largest transport research institution in Denmark, and one of the largest university-based transport research departments in Europe. DTU Transport focuses on basic research, applied research, as well as innovation, public sector support and dissemination with the aim of implementing research results in society. The research areas cover a broad range of subjects within the transport domain based on different methodological disciplines, and activities are planned in order to utilise the interdisciplinary strength of the department.

DTU Transport is responsible for the study line in Railway Technology under the M.Sc. in Engineering in Transport and Logistics, and has a close cooperation with the Danish railway sector. Due to the growth of research and teaching in railway engineering we hereby announce a position as an Assistant or Associate Professor in railways. The increased focus on the rail sector is part of the strategy plan of the department.

The Railway Research Area
The railway research area has 7-8 researchers and is part of the Transport Modelling and Planning Section.
