Ph.D. project: Thermodynamic Modeling of Electrolyte Systems using Novel Approaches, Technical University Of Denmark (Chemical and Biochemical Engineering)

Research Overview: The present project or projects are part of the on-going ERC Advanced Grant project “New Paradigm in Electrolyte Thermodynamics”. The appointment will be at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU), Department of Chemical and Biochemical Engineering (Center for Energy Resources Engineering).

Requirements / Qualifications

The candidate 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.

In the present project, the target is to enhance the understanding of electrolyte thermodynamics based on novel approaches which can be inspired by the Ph.D. student’s own ideas.  A short but ambitious project plan should be submitted together with the application.

Note: One or more Ph.D. positions, starting September 1^st, 2021, or as soon as possible after that, are available in the area of electrolyte thermodynamics. The duration of the position is three years.

Application procedure

Please submit your online application by 1 May 2021. Applications must be submitted in a single PDF file containing all materials to be given consideration. To apply, please open the link “Apply online”, fill out the online application form, and attach all your materials in English in one PDF file (link given at the end of the post). In your application, please indicate which position you would like to apply for.

The application file should include:

1. A letter motivating the application (cover letter)
2. A description of the applicant’s approach – vision towards electrolyte thermodynamics (1-2 pages), as explained above.
3. Curriculum Vitale (CV)
4. BSc/MSc diploma and grade transcripts
5. Excel sheet with translation of grades to the Danish grading system

Candidates may apply prior to obtaining their master’s degree but cannot begin before having received it.
