Opportunity summary

We are looking for a skilled postdoc to join our Direct Air Capture (DAC) research group. Direct Air Capture and Power-to-X technologies are expected to play key roles in achieving net-zero emissions and supporting the green energy transition. As a postdoc at DTU Chemical Engineering, you will contribute to the development of next-generation DAC technologies.

Specifically, we are working on projects that improve the energy efficiency and scalability of CO₂ capture directly from ambient air through advanced process integration and innovative regeneration concepts. We collaborate closely with both national and international research and industry partners to accelerate the deployment of DAC solutions.

We are currently building a world-leading research group in carbon removal and air capture technologies. The scientific field of Direct Air Capture is rapidly expanding, and we expect strong growth in the coming years. Our research spans fundamental measurements of material properties, laboratory-scale experiments, process and thermodynamic modelling, systems integration, and pilot-scale operation.

Through this work, we aim to develop efficient, cost-effective, and scalable technologies for atmospheric CO₂ removal. Responsibilities and qualifications As postdoc, you will support tasks in several different projects1 …
