About- DTU is a technical university providing internationally leading research, education, innovation and scientific advice. Their 5,800 employees advance science and technology to create innovative solutions that meet the demands of society; and our 11,000 students are being educated to address the technological challenges of the future. DTU is an independent academic university collaborating globally with business, industry, government, and public agencies.

The Department of Energy Conversion and Storage is focusing on functional materials and their application in sustainable energy technology. Our research areas include fuel cells, electrolysis, polymer solar cells, magnetic refrigeration, superconductivity, thermoelectrics, sustainable synthetic fuels, and batteries.

Research/Job Area-Materials physics, chemistry, electrochemistry, artificial intelligence and related areas 

Location- Technical University of Denmark – DTU

Eligibility/Qualification– The successful PhD candidates should have a master’s degree in physics, chemistry or engineering or possibly a degree in computer science or informatics, with an academic level equivalent to a master’s degree in engineering.

A successful candidate:

• has good communication skills in English, both written and spoken
• is able to work independently and take responsibility for progress and quality of projects. 

Research group favor candidates with experience in materials physics, chemistry, electrochemistry, artificial intelligence and related areas.

Job/Position Description- A number of PhD scholarships positions will be offered at the Department of Energy Conversion and Storage (DTU Energy) in connection with a new initiative on Autonomous Materials Discovery (AiMade, www.aimade.org). AiMade is a four-year cross-disciplinary project that is focused on establishing a platform for accelerated, autonomous materials discovery of clean energy materials through creation of a common data-infrastructure and holistic ontology for materials data, connecting data and information from simulations, characterization, synthesis and testing, spanning multiple time- and length-scales. The project revolves around four central competence areas plus a general machinery, involving different sections of the department and experts in various fields, from computational materials design and machine learning, to advanced synthesis and in situ characterization, and testing. 

3 PhD students will be hired in relation to the project. The titles of the projects are:

1. High temperature fuel cells and electrolysis, from metadata to longer lifetimes
2. Inverted neural networks for optimizing permanent magnet structures
3. Machine Learning Orchestrated Discovery and Synthesis of Organic Energy Material

The salary and appointment terms are consistent with the current rules for PhD degree students. The period of employment is 3 years for the PhD projects and conditioned on the enrolment in the relevant PhD school at DTU.
