PhD scholarship in Road Freight Networks and Electrification – DTU Management
The Transport Division of the Department of Technology, Management and Economics at the Technical University of Danmark (DTU) invites applications for a 3‑year PhD Stilling starting on 1 October 2026 (or shortly thereafter).
The successful candidate will be supervised by Professor Thomas Kjær Rasmussen and Professor Jeppe Rich. The Stilling offers the opportunity to begin a career as a researcher, deepen knowledge and skills across several disciplines, and gain international experience.
We are looking for highly qualified applicants with an MSc background in Operational Research, Computer Science, Applied Mathematics, Statistics, Economics, or a related field, and with an interest in freight transport, modelling, network science, and data analysis.
The successful applicant will investigate how road freight networks are structured and how they change under electrification and road pricing, combining modelling and data‑driven analysis.
BackgroundRoad freight transport is undergoing significant changes. In Danmark, the recently introduced Road Pricing scheme for trucks affects costs (higher per kilometre), while electrification affects both costs (often lower per kilometre) and operations (limited driving range and charging needs). Another emerging paradigm shift is vehicle automation. Although not currently operational in Europe, it is expected to become an increasingly relevant technology in the future. Together, these changes are likely to reshape how freight networks are designed, how firms operate, and the resulting costs and environmental impacts.
At the same time, new data sources are becoming available. In Danmark, the road pricing system for trucks provides detailed information on how the full fleet of vehicles moves across the network. This creates a rare opportunity to study freight systems based on real‑world behaviour rather than assumptions.
Research focusThe PhD project will investigate how freight networks evolve under electrification, road pricing, and potentially automation, using a combination of modelling, simulation, and data analysis. The project is expected to address a selection of the following research questions. Not all questions will necessarily be explored – the successful candidate will help shape the final scope in dialogue with the supervisors.
Network structure and electrificationTo answer these questions, you will collaborate closely with your supervisors as well as with other researchers and relevant external partners. Results are expected to be published in scientific journals and presented at conferences.
QualificationsThe candidate should have a Master’s degree (MSc) in Operational Research, Transport Modelling, Computer Science, Applied Mathematics, Statistics, Economics, or a closely related field, an interest in transport systems or logistics, and experience with data analysis, statistics, or machine learning. The candidate should have proficiency in at least one scientific programming language, preferably Python, and a good understanding of optimisation and mathematical programming is preferred, as well as a good understanding of economic modelling concepts and game theory. The candidate should also demonstrate strong analytical skills and curiosity about complex systems, with the ability to work both independently and collaboratively within a team, and good written and oral communication skills in English.
You 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.
Approval and enrolmentThe scholarship for the PhD degree is subject to academic approval, and the candidate will be enrolled in one of the general degree programmes at DTU.
We offerDTU is a leading technical university globally recognized for the excellence of its research, education, innovation and scientific advice. You will receive a rewarding and challenging Stilling in an international environment.
Salary and appointment termsThe 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 3 years, starting 1 October 2026 (or shortly thereafter).
Further informationFurther information may be obtained from Professor Thomas Kjær Rasmussen () or Professor Jeppe Rich ().
Application procedureYour complete online application must be submitted no later than 1 August 2026 (23:59 Danish time). Applications must be submitted as one PDF file containing all materials to be considered. The file must include:
You may apply prior to obtaining your master’s degree but cannot begin before having received it.
Applications received after the deadline will not be considered.
All interested candidates irrespective of age, gender, disability, race, religion or ethnic background are encouraged to apply. As DTU works with research in critical technology, which is subject to special rules for security and export control, open‑source background checks may be conducted on qualified candidates for the Stilling.
