Are you holding Master’s degree and looking for fully funded PhD positions? Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, Amsterdam, Netherlands invites online application for multiple funded PhD Programs / fully funded PhD positions in various research areas.
Candidates interested in fully funded PhD positions can check the details and may apply as soon as possible. Interested and eligible applicants may submit their online application for PhD programs via the University’s Online Application Portal.
1. Fully Funded PhD Position in Quantum Logic Spectroscopy – Precision measurements of trapped H2+ ions
Summary of PhD Program:
This project aims to measure the level structure of weakly-bound molecular states of H2+ with unprecedented accuracy using novel quantum technologies. These transitions in the microwave and THz range are particularly sensitive to the proton-to-electron mass ratio (mp/me) and exotic spin-dependent interactions. For this, you will be involved in developing a novel cryogenic ion trap for quantum-logic spectroscopy using H2+ (spectroscopy) and Be+ (logic) ions.
Application Deadline: 30-1-2025
2. Fully Funded PhD Position in Laser cooling and trapping Helium molecules
Summary of PhD Program:
This project aims to create the first ultracold gas of a directly laser-cooled homonuclear molecule, the helium dimer He_2. Starting from a supersonic beam, novel laser slowing and cooling techniques will be employed to create a trapped dense gas of ultracold molecules. Choosing the He_2 molecule constitutes a paradigm change in the field of ultracold molecules, as it will constitute the lightest and simplest molecule ever laser-cooled. This provides a controllable, simple 4-electron system at record low temperature, allowing quantum sensing and precision measurements to test QED and to study the quantum nature of collisions with unprecedented accuracy – while being accessible to highly accurate ab initio computational methods.
Application Deadline: 27-2-2025

3. Fully Funded PhD Position in analysis
Summary of PhD Program:
The Department of Mathematics of Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam welcomes applications for a fully-funded, 4-year PhD position in Analysis. It is financed by the externally funded grant “Floer theory for stochastic Hamiltonian systems, quantum theory, and imaginary time”. We are an inclusive, interdisciplinary group, and diversity and internationalism is at the heart of our research principles, as well as our teaching practice.
