Development Engineer - Mechatronics and Autonomous Labs for Power2X

DTU Energy and the Pioneer Center for Accelerating P2X Materials Discovery (CAPeX, www.capex.dtu.dk) are looking for a development engineer or experienced lab technician for the lab automation team in DTU Energy and CAPeX, which is responsible for the development and implementation of innovative and state-of-the-art automated (robotic) solutions for lab and lab-related processes, enabling and enhancing our R&D and operational processes, in the development of self-driving laboratories for design, development and testing of materials and cells for electrochemical energy conversion and storage, e.g., sustainable batteries and materials for Power2X.

Scientific Software Developer – FAIR and Interoperable Workflows for Accelerated Materials Discovery

The Department of Energy Conversion and Storage (DTU Energy), the Section for Autonomous Materials Discovery and the Pioneer Center for Accelerating P2X Materials Discovery (CAPeX) invite applications for a position as Scientific Software Developer (SSD) in the field of digitalizing materials discovery and development of FAIR and interoperable workflows. DTU Energy is focusing on accelerating the discovery and development of new materials and technologies for energy conversion and storage, e.g. fuel and solar cells, batteries, membranes, magnetic refrigeration and thermoelectrics, electrolysis and sustainable synthetic fuels and chemicals.

PhD scholarship in Machine Learning-Accelerated Reaction Mechanism Discovery

Join a young research group dedicated to transforming materials discovery from empirical exploration to predictive design. Our research program builds on a synergy of high-throughput virtual screening, generative machine learning (ML) models, and automated reaction exploration to gain insights into complex chemical systems.

Empowering diversity

Driving Innovation in Power2X

At CAPeX, we value diversity within our applicant pool and encourage individuals from diverse backgrounds to submit their applications. We believe that fostering diversity in the research environment enhances creativity and encourages cross-sectoral collaboration, ultimately contributing to the successful execution of excellent research.

Through initiatives like the VILLUM FOUNDATION and Novo Nordisk Foundation's Living Labs initiative, we actively foster diversity and strive to improve gender balance. Currently, we are defining the #WomeninCAPeX network, aimed at supporting female talent and leadership in Power2X.
