1. Fully Funded PhD Position in medical image processing and analysis using deep learning
Summary of PhD Program:
The Vision Lab of the Department of Physics in the Faculty of Sciences is looking for a full-time (100%) doctoral scholarship holder in the field of medical image processing and analysis using deep learning. This position is part of the ERC Consolidator project “A data-driven approach to microstructure imaging” (ADAMI), funded by the European Union. ADAMI is a highly interdisciplinary project that combines insights from physics/engineering (imaging and image processing of MRI and light-sheet microscopy), biological and medical sciences (tissue microstructure, immunostaining, and neuroscience), and computer science (data analysis, machine learning, and artificial intelligence) to achieve a breakthrough in microstructure imaging with MRI.
Application Deadline: 29 May 2024
2. Fully Funded PhD Position in vivo microstructure imaging with MRI
Summary of PhD Program:
The Vision Lab of the Department of Physics in the Faculty of Sciences and the Bio-Imaging Lab of the Department of Biomedical Sciences are looking for a full-time (100%) doctoral scholarship holder in the field of in vivo microstructure imaging with magnetic resonance imaging. This position is part of the ERC Consolidator project “A data-driven approach to microstructure imaging” (ADAMI), funded by the European Union. ADAMI is a highly interdisciplinary project that combines insights from physics/engineering (imaging and image processing of MRI and light-sheet microscopy), biological and medical sciences (tissue microstructure, immunostaining, and neuroscience), and computer science (data analysis, machine learning, and artificial intelligence) to achieve a breakthrough in microstructure imaging with MRI.

3. Fully Funded PhD Position in plant and soil ecology
Summary of PhD Program:
In highly urbanized European regions, decades of increased nitrogen deposition has led to high soil acidification in forest soil, with great damage to soil and trees. Recently, addition of basalt to forest soil has been proposed as a way to mitigate soil acidity and concurrently improve carbon sequestration via enhanced weathering. This PhD project will study these dynamics by investigating growth and phenology of aboveground (leaves and cambium) and belowground (symbionts, soil microbes, fine roots) components of deciduous trees and forests under natural-, acidified- and basalt amended soil.
These objectives will be experimentally addressed with ecophysiological (e.g. phenological observation), microscopic (e.g. mycorrhizal hyphal root and soil colonization) and molecular (e.g. metabarcoding, metatranscriptomics) methods in growth chambers, common gardens and mature trees in forests. The project will reveal the complex relationship between above and belowground growth under different soil conditions and contribute to solve the two great environmental challenges of our society represented by the mitigation of soil acidification and climate change.

4. Fully Funded PhD Position in vivo MR Imaging in animal models of Huntington’s disease
Summary of PhD Program:
The Law and Development Research Group of the Faculty of Law is looking for a full-time (100%) doctoral scholarship holder in the field of human rights and international law. You will work actively on the preparation and defence of a PhD thesis which will investigate the conditions under which multistakeholder partnerships can effectivelytake up human rights legal norms in their design and operations in and across the four domains of food, health, education and water. The PhD research will be undertaken in the context of the European Research Council (ERC) Starting Grant-funded GENESIS (GovErning humaN rights through partnErShIpS: investigating the interface of international law and multistakeholder governance) project (www.genesis-erc.eu).

5. Fully Funded PhD Position in human rights and international law
Summary of PhD Program:
The Law and Development Research Group of the Faculty of Law is looking for a full-time (100%) doctoral scholarship holder in the field of human rights and international law. You will work actively on the preparation and defence of a PhD thesis that investigates how how human rights that are public goods such as health, education, food and water are operationalised through UN partnership mechanisms on the one hand and through the UN inter-state treaty-based human rights legal mechanisms on the other. The PhD research will be undertaken in the context of the European Research Council (ERC) Starting Grant-funded GENESIS (GovErning humaN rights through partnErShIpS: investigating the interface of international law and multistakeholder governance) project (www.genesis-erc.eu).

6. Fully Funded PhD Position in human rights and international law
Summary of PhD Program:
The Law and Development Research Group of the Faculty of Law is looking for a full-time (100%) doctoral scholarship holder in the field of human rights and international law. You will work actively on the preparation and defence of a PhD thesis in law that inspects how new initiatives to promote partnerships such as the 2030 Partnership Accelerator and others launched within the United Nations sustainable development mechanisms normatively frame and govern human rights, particularly in the domains of education, health, food and water. The PhD research will be undertaken in the context of the European Research Council (ERC) Starting Grant-funded GENESIS (GovErning humaN rights through partnErShIpS: investigating the interface of international law and multistakeholder governance) (genesis-erc.eu).

8. Fully Funded PhD Position in electrocatalysis, with a focus on hydrogen production from water electrolysis
Summary of PhD Program:
The research group ELCAT in the Faculty of Applied Engineering is looking for a full-time (100%) doctoral scholarship holder in the field of electrocatalysis, with a focus on hydrogen production from water electrolysis. As researcher you will start within the research group ELCAT, currently employing around 30 people. The research of ELCAT revolves around electrochemistry. The main research activities are related to the development of state-of-the-art electrochemical reactors and catalyst, with as most important purpose the electrification of the industry and thus the replacement of traditional chemical processes with green and sustainable alternatives. The research falls mainly under 5 key activities: (1) electrochemical CO2 conversion; (2) green hydrogen production; (3) redox flow batteries; (4) power to chemicals; and (5) reactor design for electrochemical purposes.
