1. Fully Funded PhD Position in Optical Atomic Clocks
Summary of PhD Program:
You will work on two projects. You and the QDNL team will design and build a highly reliable optical lattice clock, based on our AQuRA project . With our partners from VSL and VU , we will distribute the frequency reference of this clock through fiber links across the Netherlands and ultimately Europe. In parallel, you and the QDNL team will create continuously operating optical clocks (a superradiant clock and a zero-deadtime, multi-ensemble clock). Such a clock should ultimately be able to average down to a precision of 10^-18 in minutes instead of the hours needed by todays clocks. This benefit will unlock new possibilities from fundamental science to society.
Application Deadline: 31 March 2025
2. Fully Funded PhD Position in Positron Particle Tracking for Fluid Dynamics
Summary of PhD Program:
In this project, we aim to better understand the spread of clouds of droplets (think of medical inhalers) by tracking them with very low dose radioactive tracer elements. The applied tracer methods are very safe and common in medical technology (PET scans) and chemical engineering (PEPT) but have not benefited as much yet from the existence of the ultimate radioactive particle tracking system on Earth: CERN. In this project, we bring these expertise together to better understand the fluid dynamics of droplets clouds that you find in sprays coming from medical inhalers.

3. Fully Funded PhD Position in Accountable Usage Control for Distributed Data Processing Systems
Summary of PhD Program:
The goal of this PhD position is to conduct fundamental research into novel distributed usage control models with high degrees of accountability, transparency, and human involvement (human-in-the-loop), while satisfying (other) legal requirements such as the handling of legal obligations and pre- and post-conditions on the usage of data assets. A particular challenge follows from the distributed nature of the studied systems – information required to make and justify access and usage decisions may be highly dispersed across the system and some of this information might itself be sensitive.
Application Deadline: January 15, 2025
4. Fully Funded PhD Position in Ecological Complexity Focusing on Memory Formation in Ecological Systems
Summary of PhD Program:
The primary goal of the PhD project is to understand how memory affects information processing and resilience across ecological systems. Ecological communities are highly connected networks interacting in various ways transferring energy, information and biomass. These structures are primarily shaped by interactions that depend on both the behavioural and physiological responses of individual species to their environment as well as on historical contingencies. The latter process is the so-called ecological memory, which is the result of past environmental conditions on the current structure of species interactions in ecological communities.
