Tenure Track Assistant Professor in Ceramic Energy Materials

If you have a strong desire and will to establish yourself as a scientist, and you are looking for the best possible foundation for fulfilling your dreams and ambitions, it could be right here!

Join Us in Shaping the Future of Sustainable Energy Materials

Be part of a dynamic team developing next-generation sustainable energy materials with the potential to impact people and businesses around the world. At DTU Energy, you will collaborate closely with colleagues at DTU and leading international partners from academia and industry, working at the forefront of research and development.

At DTU Energy, you'll have the opportunity to push scientific frontiers and become a global expert in ceramic energy materials, their evolution during fabrication, and their influence on device performance. Your research will play a vital role in optimizing the efficiency and longevity of energy devices like batteries, electrolysis cells, and fuel cells. Achieving this requires a profound understanding of process parameters and their effects on microstructures, interfaces, and component performance under real-world conditions. Additionally, a strong emphasis will be placed on sustainable production methods and materials.

You will have the opportunity to work with both real and model materials, utilizing a diverse range of advanced manufacturing and characterization tools. Collaborating closely with your colleagues, your research will be pivotal in driving the development of materials and technologies essential for the global green transition. Processing techniques may include tape casting, screen printing, slot die coating, extrusion, and other state-of-the-art methods. For characterization, you'll have access to cutting-edge tools such as in-situ optical monitoring of sintering, Raman spectroscopy, X-ray and synchrotron radiation, neutron diffraction and imaging, electron microscopy, XPS, and more.
