1. Fully Funded PhD Position in Biomolecular Condensates in Synthetic Cells
Summary of PhD Program:
Synthetic cells hold great promise in the development of innovative therapeutic strategies. However, molecular payloads synthesised inside synthetic cells must be secreted and new molecular building blocks or drugs must be delivered to synthetic cells in a smart and programmable way. Condensates have recently been shown to interact with membranes in a rich and dynamic way, including the possibility of entering giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) via endocytosis. In this project, you will develop synthetic cells and condensates that exhibit a tunable affinity for the GUV inner membrane.
Application Deadline: 05 January 2025
2. Fully Funded PhD Position in Multimodal Signalling and Processing in Face-to-face Communication at the Donders Centre for Cognition
Summary of PhD Program:
You will work on a collaborative project using corpus analyses to investigate how participants in conversational interaction make their intentions clear through visual signals (using the face, head, gaze and/or hands) in conjunction with linguistic structures and prosody. The project also investigates how the contribution of visual signals, words and prosody are processed during comprehension (using experimental behavioural and EEG paradigms, including interactive settings). You will be involved in both the corpus and the experimental work.
Application Deadline: 12 January 2025

3. Fully Funded PhD Position in AI-assisted Physical Attacks on PQC Implementations
Summary of PhD Program:
This project investigates how to efficiently evaluate the resistance of post-quantum cryptographic implementations to physical attacks. The increased key sizes and more complex mathematical principles of PQC, in combination with countermeasures to side-channel analysis (SCA) attacks, significantly increase the data and computational complexity to analyse an implementation and evaluate side-channel leakage and fault tolerance. The project will exploit similarities and connections between side-channel analysis and genomics to develop novel methods and computational approaches for future-proof SCA techniques.
Application Deadline: 14 January 2025
4. Fully Funded PhD Position in Putting Explainable AI to Work to Support Cultural Heritage
Summary of PhD Program:
In this multidisciplinary PhD project supervised by Dr Iris Hendrickx and Prof. Martha Larson, you will combine insights from explainable AI, data science, information retrieval, natural language processing and library science to address the practical challenges faced by large libraries. The project is part of the larger HAICu project, a Netherlands-wide initiative on AI and cultural heritage. You will carry out your research in collaboration with the KB National Library of the Netherlands, and you will have the opportunity to work with experts on the library premises in The Hague.
Application Deadline: 05 January 2025
