The Department of Chemistry at the University of Copenhagen invites applicants for a PhD fellowship in atmospheric chemistry focusing on oxidation of volatile organic compounds.
The project
The oxidation of organic compounds in the atmosphere is a source for aerosol particles that affect both human health and climate.
The current project funded by Novo Nordisk Foundation will focus on one group of such vapours called highly oxygenated organic molecules and will apply both experimental and theoretical methods to determine the pathways and rates of their formation.
The successful candidate will lead the relevant experiments in an oxidation flow reactors, develop and apply highly sensitive mass spectrometric tools, process measurement data and perform computations.
Training will be provided in atmospheric phenomena, atmopheric oxidation, chemical ionization mass spectrometry, experimental methods and data analysis.Who are we looking for?
We are looking for exceptional candidates with experience in Atmospheric Chemistry. Applicants can have a background from Chemistry, Atmospheric or Environmental Science.
We are looking for candidates who have experience in both experimental and theoretical methods interested in conducting interdisciplinary research that bridges laboratory experiments and real atmosphere.
Ideally, the candidate has already at least one year of Master degree completed.Our group and research
The successful candidate will be a part of a group led by Assistant Professor Olga Garmash.
In the group, we integrate laboratory and field measurements of atmospheric composition to understand the chemical reactions that lead to the formation of particulate matter in urban and remote environments.
We are a newly established international research group currently consisting of three people. Our group has a wide international collaboration and access to state-of-the-art facilities. We work towards fostering and inclusive, supportive and team oriented work environment.The group is a part of Physical Chemistry Section, Department of Chemistry, Faculty of SCIENCE, University of Copenhagen. We are located at Universitetsparken 5, 2100 Copenhagen. Further information on the Department is linked at

Option B:
An up to five year full-time study programme within the framework of the integrated MSc and PhD programme (the 3+5 scheme), if you do not have an education equivalent to a relevant Danish master ́s degree – but you have an education equivalent to a Danish bachelors ́s degree.
**Option A: Getting into a position on the regular PhD programme
Qualifications needed for the regular programme
To be eligible for the regular PhD programme, you must have completed a degree programme, equivalent to a Danish master's degree (180 ECTS/3 FTE BSc + 120 ECTS/2 FTE MSc) related to the subject area of the project, e.g.
Atmospheric Sciences, Chemistry, Environmental Sciences, or Physics. For information of eligibility of completed programmes, see General assessments for specific countries and Assessment database.Terms of employment in the regular programme
Employment as PhD fellow is full time and for maximum 3 years.
Employment is conditional upon your successful enrolment as a PhD student at the PhD School at the Faculty of SCIENCE, University of Copenhagen.
The terms of employment and salary are in accordance to the agreement between the Ministry of Finance and The Danish Confederation of Professional Associations on Academics in the State (AC).
Option B:
Getting into a position on the integrated MSc and PhD programme
Qualifications needed for the integrated MSc and PhD programme

Terms of the integrated programme
To be eligible for the integrated scholarship, you are (or are eligible to be) enrolled at one of the faculty's master programmes in Chemistry.
Students on the integrated programme will enroll as PhD students simultaneously with completing their enrollment in this MSc degree programme.
The duration of the integrated programme is up to five years, and depends on the amount of credits that you have passed on your MSc programme.
, "Study Structures".
Until the MSc degree is obtained, (when exactly two years of the full 3+5 programme remains), the grant will be paid partly in the form of 48 state education grant portions (in Danish: "SU-klip") plus salary for work (teaching, supervision etc.) totalling a workload of at least 150 working hours per year.
When you have obtained the MSc degree, you will transfer to the salary-earning part of the scholarship for a period of two years.
At that point, the terms of employment and payment will be according to the agreement between the Ministry of Finance and The Danish Confederation of Professional Associations on Academics in the State (AC).
The position is covered by the Protocol on Job Structure.Responsibilities and tasks in both PhD programmes
- Completing and passing the MSc education in accordance with the curriculum of the MSc programme (ONLY when you are attending the integrated MSc and PhD programme)
- Carrying through an independent research project under supervision
- Completing PhD courses or other equivalent education corresponding to approx. 30 ECTS / 1⁄2 FTE
- Participating in active research environments, including a stay at another research institution
- Obtaining experience with teaching and other types of dissemination related to the PhD project
- Disseminate project results in international peerreview journals as first author
- Write and defend a PhD thesis on the basis of your project
We are looking for a highly motivated and enthusiastic scientist with the following competencies and experience:
- Professional qualifications relevant to the PhD project
- Documented knowledge in atmospheric science subject
- Documented experience working in an atmospheric chemistry lab; experience working with photochemical reactors is an advantage
- Experience in using analytical equipment in gasphase oxidation studies
- Experience with analysis of experiemental data
- Familiarity with conducting quantum chemical computations and relevant software
- A curious mindset with a strong interest in combining physical chemistry methods with atmospheric science in context of solving global challenges
- Proficient communication and interpersonal skills, capacity for analytical thinking, ability to collaborate, creativity, initiative, independence, and an openness to other cultures
- Excellent English skills, written and spoken
