Research context
The project funded by the Novo Nordisk Foundation will generate large scale Pacbio HiFi sequencing data from many different tissues from multiple individuals of different mammalian species as well as snRNA sequencing data from the same tissues.
The purpose is to detect different types of mutations (SNVs, indels, transpositions) in the different tissues and model their occurrence in relation to tissue specific gene expression differences as well as species, age and gender of the individuals.
Expected start date and duration of employment
This is a 2–year position from 1 July 2026 or as soon possible hereafter.
The position may include the following tasks:

At AAU Energy, a position as Postdoc in thermo-mechanical modelling and experimental study of
ferroelectric and thermoelectric devices is open for appointment from 01 August 2026 or as soon as possible hereafter. The position is available for a period of 2 years and is based at Aalborg University’s campus in Aalborg.
You will be part of the research group Applied Smart Materials for Energy Innovations (ASMEi) which is placed in the section for Thermal Engineering. The position is closely connected to our activities within self-charging batteries for a sustainable future, and your work will contribute to the development of new knowledge within this field.
Your work tasks
In this position you will conduct research within multi-physics simulations and experimental validation of innovative ferroelectric, piezoelectric, and thermoelectric energy harvesting concepts, with a particular focus on self-charging vibrational batteries. You will be involved in both independent and collaborative research activities in close interaction with colleagues in the group and external partners in Denmark and abroad.
You will work with the design and execution of research studies, the analysis and interpretation of data, and the dissemination of results in high-quality scientific outlets. Your daily work will typically involve a combination of independent research and collaboration in project teams, where you help develop concepts, methods and solutions that are relevant for the energy sector.
In particular, you will be involved in design, modelling, laboratory test, and optimization of energy
harvesting technologies e.g., ferroelectric, piezoelectric, and thermoelectric, for various innovative
applications.
You will be expected to contribute to scientific publications in international peer-reviewed journals and to present your work at conferences, workshops and meetings with partners. You will collaborate with researchers across the department and, where relevant, with industrial or public stakeholders. The position may include a limited amount of teaching and supervision of students at bachelor’s and master’s level, for example in the form of project supervision or involvement in courses related to your expertise. Depending on project needs, you may also take part in preparing applications for external research funding and in supporting the development of new research directions at the department.
Your competencies
You hold a PhD degree in Mechanical or Energy Engineering or can document equivalent scientific
qualifications at PhD level. Your research profile is clearly connected to vibrational and thermal energy harvesting devices and systems, and you can demonstrate experience with thermo-electro-mechanical modeling, and ferroelectric based energy harvesting design.
You have solid skills in modelling and simulation using COMSOL Multiphysics, experimental work in laboratory environments, programming in MATLAB, and data processing and analysis and you are comfortable working systematically with complex technical problems. Experience with preparation of research and innovation proposals, where your results and ideas contribute to shaping new project applications and future activities in the group, will be an advantage, as will a documented ability to publish in international journals. It will be appreciated that the candidate’s approach to research and teamwork is characterized by an open and inclusive mindset.
You communicate clearly in English, both orally and in writing, and you can present your work to both specialists and non-specialists.
