The Transport Division of the Department of Technology, Management and Economics at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) invites applications for a 3-year PhD position starting on 1 October 2026 (or shortly thereafter).

The successful candidate will be supervised by Professor Thomas Kjær Rasmussen and Professor Jeppe Rich. The position offers the opportunity to begin your career as a researcher, deepen your knowledge and skills across several disciplines, and gain international experience.

We are looking for highly qualified applicants with an MSc background in Operational Research, Computer Science, Applied Mathematics, Statistics, Economics, or a related field, and with an interest in freight transport, modelling, network science, and data analysis.

The successful applicant will investigate how road freight networks are structured and how they change under electrification and road pricing, combining modelling and data-driven analysis.

Background
Road freight transport is undergoing significant changes. In Denmark, the recently introduced Road Pricing scheme for trucks affects costs (higher per kilometre), while electrification affects both costs (often lower per kilometre) and operations (limited driving range and charging needs). Another emerging paradigm shift is vehicle automation. Although not currently operational in Europe, it is expected to become an increasingly relevant technology in the future. Together, these changes are likely to reshape how freight networks are designed, how firms operate, and the resulting costs and environmental impacts.

At the same time, new data sources are becoming available. In Denmark, the road pricing system for trucks provides detailed information on how the full fleet of vehicles moves across the network. This creates a rare opportunity to study freight systems based on real-world behaviour rather than assumptions.

Research focus
The PhD project will investigate how freight networks evolve under electrification, road pricing, and potentially automation in some form, using a combination of modelling, simulation, and data analysis. The project is expected to address a selection of the following research questions. Not all questions will necessarily be explored — the successful candidate will help shape the final scope in dialogue with the supervisors.

Network structure and electrification:

• When does technology become the binding constraint, such that battery range determines network structure?
• How do freight networks change when vehicles become cheaper to operate per kilometre?
• How much buffer capacity (e.g., range, time flexibility) is needed to handle uncertainty such as weather, disruptions, and congestion?

Industry and market organisation:

• Will electrification reshape not just network structure but also industry organisation, including cooperation and competition between firms?
• How does the transition to electrification unfold across different types of operators and over time?

Vehicle automation in road freight transport:

• Will it lead to further consolidation in the sector?
• How are road freight networks likely to be influenced and reshaped by automation?

Data and infrastructure:

• Can freight network structures be inferred directly from large-scale GPS data?
• Where is public charging infrastructure most critical?

To answer these questions, you will collaborate closely with your supervisors as well as with other researchers and relevant external partners. Results are expected to be published in scientific journals and presented at conferences.

Qualifications
This PhD project sits at the intersection of operational research, economics, network modelling, and data analysis. The candidate should have a Master’s degree (MSc) in Operational Research, Transport Modelling, Computer Science, Applied Mathematics, Statistics, Economics, or a closely related field, an interest in transport systems or logistics, and experience with data analysis, statistics, or machine learning. The candidate should have proficiency in at least one scientific programming language, preferably Python, and a good understanding of optimisation and mathematical programming is preferred, as well as a good understanding of economic modelling concepts and game theory. The candidate should also demonstrate strong analytical skills and curiosity about complex systems, with the ability to work both independently and collaboratively within a team, and good written and oral communication skills in English.

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.

Electrolysis and Power-to-X (PtX) are becoming key energy technologies in the green transition, as they will be essential for replacing fossil-based fuels and chemicals. While being able to balance variable renewable energy (VRE) when electricity is abundant, fuel cells or alternatives are needed for power production when VRE production is low. One of the alternatives for seasonal storage is the so-called biomass battery, where current power production capabilities are coupled with PtX, by utilizing waste oxygen to facilitate capture of CO2 and re-utilizing the scarce biogenic carbon.

In this PhD project you will be working on techno-economic analyses (TEA) of the alternative seasonal storage solutions, including the “biomass battery” and reversible electrochemical cell systems (e.g. rSOC). The TEA on plant level will be utilised by project partners energy-system level models to understand the different technological solutions’ value proposition for the society. A mapping of available biological resources in future scenarios will be carried out by another partner in the project (ReCycle), while the remaining partners will work on demonstrating the first steps of the biomass battery, i.e. straw-fired oxy-combustion.

The target of the project is to impact the society in terms of new energy planning perspectives and to provide new perspectives on the utilization of biomass, in Europe and Denmark in particular (in relation to the Green Tripartite).

This is a job where you will get a chance to develop and apply competences on techno-economic analysis, collaborating with various academic and industrial players working on the green transition to impact it.

Responsibilities and qualifications
In this PhD project your primary responsibilities will include:

• Thermodynamic modelling and optimization of future electrochemical energy conversion systems (e.g. reversible systems, Power-to-Power concepts)
• In-dept techno-economic analysis and optimization of oxy-fuel combustion CHP technologies (new builds and retrofits)
• Analysing performance, cost, and scalability of Power-to-X technologies (e.g. electrolysis, e-fuels)
• Mixed integer linear optimization of energy storage system design and operation in connection with variable renewables and for grid balancing.
• Supporting development of open-source datasets for system modelling

To be qualified for this position you should preferably have:

• Strong analytical and modelling skills in the fields of thermodynamics and mathematical optimization (e.g., linear optimization, mixed integer linear optimization, surrogates, etc.
• Experience with techno-economic analysis, process modelling, or energy systems analysis in the fields of electrochemistry and bioenergy is an advantage
• Ability to work independently and in interdisciplinary teams
• Research publications in peer-reviewed journals are a strong differentiator, but not mandatory for the application.
• Excellent communication skills in English, both written and spoken
• A master’s degree in materials science, ceramic engineering, chemical engineering, energy engineering, physics, or a related field

The sections for Autonomous Materials Discovery (AMD) and Electrochemical Materials (ELM) at DTU Energy are looking for outstanding candidates for two PhD scholarships within the field of computational modelling of battery materials and fabrication and electrochemical investigations of new battery materials and complete battery cells.

Responsibilities and qualifications
For decades, battery research has focused on optimizing materials chemistry to improve performance. Despite these advances, the fundamental processes governing electrochemical interfaces, particularly their degradation and potential for recovery, remain poorly understood, limiting the development of sustainable and durable energy storage systems. In this project, you will help establish a new paradigm for batteries based on self-healing interfaces enabled by earth-abundant potassium–sulfur chemistries.

We are opening two PhD positions, one experimental and one computational, to break new ground in understanding and controlling electrochemical interfaces across scales.

Computational PhD position:
You will develop an AI-enhanced multiscale modelling framework combining density functional theory, ab initio molecular dynamics, and machine-learned force fields to describe ion transport and interfacial evolution. These models will be extended to mesoscopic and continuum scales (kinetic Monte Carlo, phase-field) to capture degradation and self-healing phenomena under realistic operating conditions. The goal is to uncover the mechanisms governing interface stability and to guide the design of next-generation solid-state electrolytes and battery architectures.

Experimental PhD position:
You will synthesize and characterize novel solid-state electrolytes based on earth-abundant materials and investigate their interfaces with potassium and sulfur electrodes. Using advanced electrochemical testing and operando/post-mortem characterization techniques, you will study interfacial evolution and validate self-healing strategies under controlled conditions. Your work will directly test model predictions and contribute to the realization of a sustainable battery prototype.

Together, you will contribute to a tightly integrated modelling-experimental feedback loop, where predictions guide experiments and experimental insights refine models, accelerating materials discovery and enabling new design principles for electrochemical energy storage. The project is embedded in a highly collaborative environment at DTU Energy, with access to state-of-the-art computational and experimental facilities, and includes international collaborations and research stays with leading partners in both modelling and materials synthesis.

The AMD and ELM sections constitute a leading group in combining multiscale modelling techniques, materials science, and electrochemical engineering to accelerate the discovery of novel materials for energy applications. You will work in a highly collaborative and interdisciplinary environment, which comprises, among others, experts with backgrounds in physics, chemistry, materials, and computer science. The two sections comprise 13 (four in AMD, nine in ELM) PIs and approximately 50 PhD students and postdocs.

Qualifications:

• Good communication skills in English, both written and spoken.
• Be able to work independently and take responsibility for progress and quality of projects. 
• Proved expertise in computational/theoretical physics, chemistry, materials science and related areas.
• Proved expertise in materials modelling, electrochemistry, or battery fabrication is required.

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.
