Do you want to be part of the development of core technologies of the green transition? This PhD scholarship offers the opportunity to be at the forefront of functional polymer development for the next-generation alkaline water electrolysis cells.  

Responsibilities and qualifications
Your research will contribute to deepening our understanding of the relationships between chemical structure, stability and transport properties of functional polymers in alkaline environment. The work will include synthesis and modification of monomers and polymers. It also involves polymer processing and characterization at polymer and material level using multiple techniques. Your primary tasks will include:

  • Synthesis of monomers and polymers
  • Polymer processing and film formation
  • Physicochemical and electrochemical characterization
  • Stability studies and investigation of degradation mechanisms

You have an academic background in synthetic organic chemistry or polymer chemistry. To be successful in this role you also need to: 

  • Be driven by curiosity and have a genuine interest in applied chemistry
  • Have an eye for detail
  • Be willing to learn and to develop new experimental methods
  • Have a pro-active way of thinking and acting
  • Be good at documenting, communicating, and reporting your work in English

The scholarship is offered in close collaboration with Indian Institute of Technology Bombay (IITB) as part of a strategic alliance between the two institutions. You will collaborate with a matching PhD student IITB, and you are expected to have an external research stay at IITB as part of the project

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 Enrolment  
The 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. For information about our enrolment requirements and the general planning of the PhD study programme, please see DTU's rules for the PhD education

Application procedure 
Your complete online application must be submitted no later than 2 December 2024 (23:59 Danish time)

Applications must be submitted as one PDF file containing all materials to be given consideration. To apply, please open the link "Apply now", fill out the online application form, and attach all your materials in English in one PDF file . The file must include:

  • A letter motivating the application (cover letter)
  • Curriculum vitae 
  • Grade transcripts and BSc/MSc diploma (in English) including official description of grading scale

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.
