4. Fully Funded PhD Position in Personalized digital nudging for healthy food choice
Summary of PhD Program:
The digital transformation of the food environment (eg, supermarket websites and apps) presents both opportunities and threats regarding promoting healthy food choices. Digital choice environments have shown potential for promoting healthy food choice, for example with (personalized) digital nudges, but research has mostly focused on samples higher in socioeconomic position. This project addresses a significant gap in scientific knowledge by investigating the impact of digital choice environments on healthy food choices, and by exploring how personalization can serve populations lower in socioeconomic position. In this project, the effects of personalized digital nudging techniques are assessed in the context of an innovative digital nudge type, namely the Just-In-Time nudge (Van der Laan & Orcholska, 2022, Food Quality and Preference).
Application Deadline: September 22th, 2023

In this project, we examine how Product Owners conceptualize and attend to the social consequences of the technologies they develop. We focus on this occupation as a relatively recent, yet increasingly institutionalized occupation with its own set of established practices and certifications that operates at the interface of technology and stakeholder management. 2. While originating from the tech industry in terms of norms, values, and practices, this occupation is especially confronted with leading software development projects that not only ‘do no harm,’ but potentially have positive societal outcomes as well.

7. Fully Funded PhD Position in Digitalization
Summary of PhD Program:
This PhD position deals with digitalization and focuses on technological innovation implementation, digital twins, and standardization. Much research has been conducted about the technical sides of digitalization. However, in the practice, even the technical solutions are ready and mature, these pilot projects are still yet to receive a large-scale implementation due to legal and organizational considerations. Also, the interoperability of various systems remains a key challenge. This project is to identify the bottlenecks and solutions, and in sequence collaborate with the corresponding stakeholders to jointly establish a technical and governance framework for the selected use cases.
