3. Fully Funded PhD Position in AI-modelling of Powerful Microwaves in Fusion Plasmas
Summary of PhD Program:
Powerful microwaves interact strongly and non-linearly with hot plasmas relevant for fusion energy. Such waves provide a means of heating and stabilising fusion plasmas as well as measuring many aspects of the state of the plasma. Modelling wave-plasma interactions is computationally demanding. With AI based modelling, scientific investigations and concept developments will be massively accelerated and new areas of enquiry will become accessible. University of Southern Denmark (SDU) is pursuing this in tight collaboration with the Technical University of Denmark (DTU), the Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics (IPP), EPFL (Switzerland), CCFE (UK) and MIT (USA).

7. Fully Funded PhD Position in Behavioural science insights for nature-based solutions
Summary of PhD Program:
This PhD is embedded within a large Horizon project funded by the European Union (ΕU) which aims to develop and promote Nature-based Solutions (NbS). NbS are management solutions including and inspired by nature to address a variety of environmental and sustainability challenges, while enhancing biodiversity and other ecological functions. Climate adaptation and mitigation are important focus areas where NbS are expected to be essential instruments toward the goal of achieving climate neutrality by 2050 as well as transforming society towards climate resilience.

12. Fully Funded PhD Position in Building Stock Characterisation and Circularity Aspects as Factors in Material Output Valuation
Summary of PhD Program:
The PhD project at University of Southern Denmark (research project 3c) is part of the response to the third objective, ‘Value of the building that is mobile’. This project will study how features of circularity contribute to the value of materials during the urban mining of buildings and the phase of material mobility between an old and new destination, using quantum concepts. The objective of 3c is to explore, develop, and test the environmental and social values of demountable materials on their many potential circular destinations, considering exchangeability, destination flexibility, and reconfigurability.
Application Deadline: 23 September 2024
13. Fully Funded PhD Position in Multi-level Material Cycles and Market Dynamics
Summary of PhD Program:
The PhD project at University of Southern Denmark (research project 3b) is part of the response to the third objective, ‘Value of the building that is mobile’. The valuation of building materials is crucial, and complex because of the volatility of building material markets. Parallel to project 3a, this project will further explore how the material cycles (e.g., production, manufacturing, use, and end-of-life management) and market dynamics (e.g., demand and supply of scrap in the building and non-building sectors) will affect the value of demounted building material. For example, fast-growing steel scrap from the transport sector will influence the supply and thus market economics of building steel recycling.
