1. 03 Fully Funded PhD Position in Making Sense of Communities of Arms
Summary of PhD Program:
ARMIES is a five-year project supported by a European Research Council (ERC) Starting Grant. The project aims to establish a new research agenda that centralises the firearm as a sensational actant that shapes everyday practices and relations, creates divergent communities, and (re)produces power structures within local and global spheres. The project centres around an ethnographic analysis of the everyday deployment of firearms and their societal impact. It examines and compares the various ways firearms produce communities and focuses on groups that are overlooked in the field of gun studies, such as gun owners’ associations and hunting clubs. ARMIES hypothesises that these communities are disruptive and transformative ones that exert tremendous power.
Application Deadline: 15 November 2024
2. Fully Funded PhD Position in Visual Analytics for Explainable Visual Rehabilitation
Summary of PhD Program:
As PhD candidate in this project, you will conduct independent, high-quality research resulting in a doctoral dissertation. Your research will focus on designing a Visual Analytics solution to analyse data from rehabilitating patients with hemianopsia (partial blindness). With the support of explainable AI models, you will develop Visual Analytics dashboards for exploring complex data recorded from the training patients including eye tracking, task progress, and success rates. By quantifying model uncertainty, these dashboards will enable therapists to monitor and improve patients’ visual rehabilitation progress. You will collaborate with a diverse project team of academics, clinicians, and software developers to realize the goals of the project.

3. Fully Funded PhD Position in Impact of Digital Technologies on Public Education
Summary of PhD Program:
Over the past two decades, Big Tech companies have steadily increased their influence over public education. This influence has become particularly evident with the rise of platforms and artificial intelligence (AI). Big Tech conglomerates are restructuring the education sector by incorporating new generative AI (GenAI) infrastructures and applications into their own educational services, while simultaneously integrating them with third-party edtech vendors.

4. Fully Funded PhD Position in Multimedia Analysis in the HAICu Project
Summary of PhD Program:
This project is implemented by an ambitious consortium including many universities, knowledge institutions, archives, foundations, cultural institutions and business partners in the Netherlands. It aims to use improved access to digital heritage to tutor the Digital Citizen in the use of big data. It brings together AI researchers and Digital Humanities scholars to seek solutions to the problem of inadequate data-mining tools we have, aiming to derive information from the continuous stream of data about the present and the past.

5. Fully Funded PhD Position in Multi-functional Hydropower Reservoirs
Summary of PhD Program:
In this PhD project, you will tackle the critical challenge of balancing hydropower energy production with competing water demands, such as irrigation and flood control, in reservoirs impacted by climate change and extreme weather events. Hydropower plays a vital role in the global energy transition, providing essential renewable energy and supporting grid balancing between supply and demand. However, its reliability is increasingly threatened by changes in water availability and the emergence of extreme conditions, such as droughts and floods, which complicate reservoir management.
Application Deadline: 1 December 2024
6. Fully Funded PhD Position in Sedimentation Enhancing Strategies for Delta Sustainability
Summary of PhD Program:
You will investigate the effectiveness of sediment management strategies for adaptation, as well as assess global delta sediment needs and deficits under relative sea-level rise scenarios, highlighting the limits of adaptation. The project will involve developing a generic numerical model, derived from high-resolution process-based models, to evaluate sedimentation management. Additionally, you will explore the potential for sediment management to support other adaptation measures as part of pathways towards adaptation strategies.

7. Fully Funded PhD Position in Nanopositioning with Optimal Optical Information
Summary of PhD Program:
The aim of this project is to extend our information-centered optical measurement strategy, both mathematically and practically, to cases where multiple parameters need to be extracted from complex measurements. For instance, you will investigate what insights can be gained from measurements that involve multiple illuminations, sensor channels, viewing angles, polarisation channels, and wavelengths. Collaborating with local experts and our industrial partner, ASM Pacific Technology, you will adapt this theoretical framework to real-world applications, particularly in measuring the placement of bonds and wires on integrated circuits (ICs).
Application Deadline: 20 November 2024
8. Fully Funded PhD Position in H5Nx Virus Evolution and Host Interactions
Summary of PhD Program:
Join our cutting-edge research team as we dive into the ever-evolving world of H5Nx viruses, especially H5N1, across Southeast Asia. We’re looking for someone passionate about understanding how these viruses mutate and spread. You will be working with the latest tools, like glycan arrays, to figure out which glycan markers could signal the next big jump to new hosts. If you are excited about using science to stay ahead of potential pandemics and thrive in a collaborative, high-stakes environment, this might be the perfect position for you!
