Are you driven to observe catalysts in action atom-by-atom, in real time, under realistic conditions? Do you want to use state-of-the-atom microscopy to answer fundamental questions at the frontier between catalysis, chemical, materials and quantum sciences?
We are recruiting PhD scholarships to explore catalytic materials using state-of-the-atom-resolution transmission electron microscopy (TEM).
Why join VISION?At VISION, you will join a highly collaborative, international, and interdisciplinary research environment where advanced electron microscopy and spectroscopy, microfabricated reactors, catalysis, cluster science, and computational modelling come together to reveal how catalysts function at the atomic scale.
This is an exceptional opportunity for ambitious researchers who want to shape the frontier of "live" electron microscopy and wants to build foundation for independent academic or corporate research career.
Your ImpactCatalysts are metastable nanomaterials. Their active surface sites dynamically restructure during adsorption and reaction of molecules. However, many of these processes remain hidden because they occur at the atomic scale and in real time.
Your research will address this challenge by using the new VISION PRIME electron microscope, a state-of-the-atom-resolution TEM studies.
You will contribute to a deeper mechanistic understanding of catalytic processes and help guide the design of Næste-generation catalyst materials.
What You’ll DoDepending on your background and interests, you will undertake research activities such as:
We favor candidates with a degree in physics, chemistry or materials science. Candidates must have documented skills in atomic-resolution transmission electron microscopy. Candidates should also have documented experience in one or more of the following areas: microfabricated devices, 2D materials, catalysis and/or surface science. Strong skills in scientific programming, e.g. using Python, is expected.
The candidate has obtained excellent grades in her/his Bachelor and Master educations, demonstrated outstanding problem‑solving abilities, and good communication skills in both spoken and written English. Moreover, the candidates should also have proven ability to work both independently and collaboratively in a research team on a relevant scientific question.
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 scholarships for the PhD degree are subject to academic approval, and the candidates will be enrolled in one of the general degree programmes at DTU. For information about our enrolment requirements and the general planning of the PhD study programme, please see DTU's rules for the PhD education.
AssessmentThe assessment will be made by Professor Christian D. Damsgaard, Professor Jakob Kibsgaard, Professor Joerg Jinschek and Professor Stig Helveg.
We offerDTU is a leading technical university globally recognized for the excellence of its research, education, innovation and scientific advice. We offer a rewarding and challenging job in an international environment. We strive for academic excellence in an environment characterized by collegial respect and academic freedom tempered by responsibility.
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, and the starting date is as soon as possible (according to mutual agreement).
Further informationFurther information may be obtained from Professor Christian D. Damsgaard (e-mail: ), Professor Jakob Kibsgaard (email: ), Professor Joerg R. Jinschek (email: ), and Professor Stig Helveg (email: ).
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.
If you are applying from abroad, you may find useful information on working in Danmark and at DTU at DTU – Moving to Danmark. Furthermore, you have the option of joining our monthly free seminar “PhD reLokation to Danmark and startup “Zoom” seminar” for all questions regarding the practical matters of moving to Danmark and working as a PhD at DTU.

The Center for Visualizing Catalytic Processes (VISION) is funded by the Danish National Research Foundation and located at DTU Physics. VISION is developing and applying a new unique platform for visualizing catalytic nanoparticles and reactions at the atomic-level by integrating cutting‑edge electron microscopy, microfabricated nanoreactors, nanoparticle synthesis and computational modelling. This approach enables new, direct operando observations that are urgently needed to advance mechanistic insight into catalytic processes at the atomic‑scale.
VISION’s activities are centered around a new one‑of‑a‑kind electron microscope, housed in DTU’s new "Climate Challenge Laboratory" building. The new laboratory hosts the VISION center, the Surface Physics and Catalysis section, the CatTheory section and the newly established Pioneer Center, CAPeX, as a vibrant collaborative research environment with internationally leading scientists in the fields of catalysis and power‑to‑X.
