3-year PhD position in theoretical chemical dynamics, Technical University of Denmark (Deadline: 22.01.2026)

At the Department of Chemistry, Technical University of Denmark (DTU), we have an opening for a 3-year PhD position in theoretical chemical dynamics.

The topic is open and will be decided between the candidate and the supervisors, depending on the candidate’s preferences and qualifications. Possible topics are: The theory of ultrafast pump-probe experiments (e.g., time-resolved X-ray scattering and spectroscopy), simulations and data processing of actual ultrafast experiments, mapping charge and energy transfer in molecular (and mesoscopic) systems, behavior of molecules in strong fields, dynamics of open quantum systems, and more.

Hence, we are looking for independent candidate with a strong desire for discussing science and driving a scientific project.

The candidate will be a part of the vibrant theoretical chemistry milieu at DTU Chemistry (https://www.kemi.dtu.dk/english/research/physical-chemistry), supervised by Professor Klaus Braagaard Møller (https://www.kemi.dtu.dk/english/research/physical-chemistry/klaus-braagaard-moeller). Through co-supervision and collaboration, the candidate will also be an integral part of the chemical dynamics community that spans several groups and departments at DTU. Finally, the project will include a secondment abroad.
