Two DTU Tenure Track Assistant Professors in Theory and Freestanding Oxide Membranes for Energy Applications - DTU Energy

The Department of Energy Conversion and Storage (DTU Energy) at DTU invites applications for two tenure-track assistant professorships – one theoretical, one experimental – in the design and fabrication of freestanding oxide membranes for energy applications.

Both positions are backed by an ERC Advanced Grant and a Villum Foundation grant, and the experimental position has access to a newly installed Quantum Twisting Microscope.

DTU Energy has an outstanding track record in the discovery, design, and development of new and improved materials and devices for sustainable energy conversion and storage, more specifically for applications in the areas of batteries, electrolysis and Power2X, fuel cells, thermal energy storage, heat pumps, and solar cells.

The Department has recently opened new lines of research on materials that pave the way for energy technologies based on physical and chemical principles radically different from those the scientific community has considered so far.

The Department seeks applicants for two tenure track assistant professor positions focused on freestanding oxide membranes, i.e., ultrathin oxide films released from their growth substrate, which can be stacked and twisted to create innovative interfaces acting as ionic and/or electronic (super)conductors1 …
