As an Associate Professor in the Laboratory of Phytopathology, you will contribute to working on the frontier of phytopathology. You enjoy and have experience in developing novel concepts in plant-pathogen interactions on different scales (individual plant, pop
PhD positions in Structural Health Monitoring of Welded Thermoplastic Composite Assemblies
- Enschede, Netherlands
- Engineering » Aerospace engineering Engineering » Mechanical engineering
Thermoplastic composites are widely regarded as promising materials for the next generation of commercial aircraft, combining excellent mechanical performance with low weight. In addition, their melt-processable matrix enables automated, high-rate manufacturing of components that can subsequently be assembled into complex aerostructures using welding. This provides significant opportunities for more efficient and cost-effective aircraft manufacturing. However, welded composite assemblies are challenging to inspect using conventional non-destructive inspection techniques. As a result, larger sa
PhD Position in Soft-Matter Modeling for Mechanobiology
- Groningen, Netherlands
- Biological sciences » Biology Engineering » Biomedical engineering Engineering » Materials engineering
A 4-year PhD position is available at the interface of biophysical modeling, soft matter and cell mechanobiology at the Groningen Research Institute of Pharmacy, within the Faculty of Science and Engineering at the University of Groningen. What are you going to do? The project addresses a central question in mechanobiology: how do cells sense, encode and respond to mechanical cues? You will develop a quantitative and predictive framework that links the generation and transmission of mechanical forces to cell mechanics and intracellular signalling, with particular emphasis on mechanosensitive c
PhD Candidate: "Agents of Doubt: A Novel Framework on Adolescents"
- Amsterdam, Netherlands
- Communication sciences » Media studies Communication sciences » Science communication
Are you interested in how adolescents navigate AI-generated content? Do you want to know if synthetic content reshapes how they form knowledge? And do you want to know if increased reliance on AI-generated content may lead to a collapse of norms of knowledge and distrust in traditional knowledge providers such as academia and media? Then apply for this PhD project! Join us! We are looking for two ambitious PhD Researchers for the four-year project “Agents of doubt: A novel framework for understanding the impact of synthetic content on adolescents’ knowledge formation.” The PhD Candidates are e
PhD in the Integrated Circuit Group on Transceivers for Optical Communications
- Eindhoven, Netherlands
- Engineering » Electrical engineering Engineering » Electronic engineering
Integrated optics is currently experiencing unprecedented growth, driven largely by the rapid expansion of artificial intelligence (AI), cloud computing, and high-performance data processing applications. As AI models continue to increase in size and computational complexity, the demand for high-bandwidth, low-latency, and energy-efficient interconnects has become one of the key technological challenges in modern computing systems. Optical interconnects are emerging as a promising solution, offering significantly higher data throughput and lower power consumption compared to conventional elect
PhD position on socio-emotional effects of child language brokering in multilingual families
- Amsterdam, Netherlands
- Psychological sciences » Psychology
We are recruiting two PhD candidates for an interdisciplinary project on child language brokering - how multilingual children translate and mediate for others in everyday life. You will investigate how these experiences shape socio-emotional (this position) or linguistic development (the other position) in children and their parents. Are you interested in multilingualism, diverse research methods, and team science? Apply now! About the position Children from immigrant families often translate and mediate for others (typically their parents), a phenomenon called “child language brokering”. Brok

PhD candidate: Reading Ecosystems from Space
- Amsterdam, Netherlands
- Environmental science » Ecology Environmental science » Global change
What you will be doing Ecosystems around the globe are under pressure from anthropogenic activities, such as the continued deposition of nitrogen, resulting in the loss of biodiversity and functionality. Quantifying biodiversity and ecosystem functionality in response to global changes and restoration efforts at large spatial and temporal scales is essential to understand where action is needed and to monitor restoration success. Developments in remote sensing and current and upcoming hyperspectral missions offer a timely opportunity to advance large-scale monitoring and diagnosing of ecosyste
PhD Position: Physics-Informed Generative AI for Synthetic Energy Data
- Nijmegen, Netherlands

Can you help unlock the data needed for the energy transition? In the NWO-funded SHARE project, you will develop AI models that generate realistic, privacy-preserving synthetic energy data for grid planning and decision-making. Working with real-world data from Alliander, you will publish at leading machine learning venues while building tools with tangible impact on the Dutch energy sector. The Dutch energy transition depends on data that almost no one is allowed to see. Distribution system operators (DSOs), municipalities and energy communities need high-resolution grid and consumption data
EngD position: AI for Underground Infrastructure Detection and Characterisation
- Enschede, Netherlands
- Engineering » Civil engineering Engineering » Computer engineering
In this EngD project, you will develop an AI model that automatically detects underground infrastructure in GPR radargrams and estimates its depth. The project builds on the growing availability of high-quality GPR data collected at the University of Twente’s Utility Mapping Site (UMS), a unique test environment for utility mapping technologies. Current machine learning models and their training data are limited in size, comprehensiveness, and realism – resulting in partial automation with limited performance. This constrains their usefulness in real-world conditions. Your challenge is to deve
