Postdoc in micromagnetic modeling of new rare-earth-free permanent magnet

Technical University of Denmark (DTU)

  • Copenhagen, Hovedstaden, Denmark

At the Technical University of Denmark, Department of Energy Conversion and Storage (DTU Energy) we are looking for a postdoc to work on micromagnetic modeling of a novel rare-earth-free permanent magnet system. 205 years ago, the founder of the Technical University of Denmark, Prof. H.C. Ørsted, discovered electromagnetism. Since Ørsted’s initial discovery, magnets have become omni-present in our daily life, and they are essential in the green transition as the main components in wind turbines and electric motors in e.g. electric cars. However, the strongest magnets today contain rare-earth m
