Working in Our Group

DTULogo
As any academic research group, our group is always changing, but the group consists of postdocs, PhDs and often Masters or Bachelors students working on thesis projects or smaler reserach projects.  Occasionally we have visiting researchers as well.  We are quite in international group with rarely more than 2 of the PhD or postdocs being from the same country.  Our gender balance has typically been relatively equal for our PhD and postdocs.
 

Masters Students

Currently we do have some potential Masters projects regarding various electrolysis reactions with most, but not all involving CO2 electrolysis. Typically we only work with Masters students who are enrolled at DTU. If you are a DTU student who is interested in this, please contact me. There have been multiple cases where Masters students from other universities have worked at our group, however they provided their own funding and simply were here to visit. Their degree ended up being from their home institution.

PhD Students and Post-Docs

New positions for both PhD and Postdocs are continually opening at DTU physics. Per regulations, all of these open positions can be viewed and applied for at the following website: https://www.dtu.dk/english/about/job-and-career/vacant-positions. Simply apply, and the person reviewing all applicants (normally the professor) will choose the best candidate.

However there may arise the situation where you want to do a PhD or post-doc, but there are no open positions. In these situations you could potentially find your own source of funding by some type of grant. In this case you would still need to be approved by the university, but this is typically done in coordination with applying for grant funding. I am familiar with a few grant schemes and have listed them below. If you are interested in trying to work with me and are thinking about applying to any of these grant schemes or other ones you are familiar with contact me directly.

Post-Doc Grant Schemes

Important Note: My comments on the grants may not be completely accurate. Sometimes the organizations change their policy or potentially I could have misinterpreted their application. See the funding agencies website for the most accurate, up to date information.

Carlsberg Foundation:
---This organization provides a large amount of funding for different research applications.  Currently they do not have any active post-doc funding programs, but they have in the past.  This is a very dynamic funding agency so new oppurtunities could occur on any given month.

Villum Foundation:
--- This organization provides a large amount of funding for different research applications.  Currently they do not have any active post-doc funding programs, but they have in the past.  This is a very dynamic funding agency so new oppurtunities could occur on any given month.

EU Grants -
--- The European Union has a wide variety of grant schemes. I am not familiar with all of the schemes, however if you are interested below is their website http://ec.europa.eu/research/index.cfm.  One of the most popular programs is the Marie Curie program for people who are looking for a Post-doc position not in their home country.

 

Other Grant Schemes

Innovation Fund Denmark:
--- This is a great organization funded by the Danish government to help bridege the gap between applied research in the lab and actual implementation of this into companies.  They almost always fund academic-industry collaborations.  Sometimes as part of these grants, there are PhD or postdoc oppurtunities.  It should be noted they also fund those wanting to develop a start-up company.

Visiting Professors

If you have your own funding we would be happy to discuss potentially having you visit our lab for an extended period of time. If you do not have funding, there are potential places to apply for.  Below are a few I am aware of

Otto Mønsted Fund -
--- This has a deadline in June typically and grants 3 months stays at Danish universities and will cover salaries up to 75,000 DKK/month, but does not cover other expenses.

--- Website: https://omfonden.dk/application/

Fullbright Scholarships -
--- These are only for Americans, but we have had success in the past with this grant scheme. This has a deadline in September and has funding up to 200,000 DKK.
