Are you holding Master’s degree and looking for fully funded PhD positions? Vrije Universiteit 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 Structural Bioinformatics/ Computational Biology
Summary of PhD Program:
Despite decades of dedicated collaborative efforts, we are still missing key elements to develop the perfect electronic nose. A major obstacle is our limited understanding of how the sense of smell works, and how odorant sensors should be designed for smell detection. The project ODORWISEjoins advanced computer simulation techniques together with available results from experiments to study how the proteins in our noses can detect and distinguish different chemicals. The outcome will aid the design of new biomimetic sensor units for detecting smells, which will be a significant advancement for early disease diagnosis and surveillance in non-invasive sustainable healthcare.
Application Deadline: 30-7-2024
2. Fully Funded PhD Position in Circular Economy of Water in the Dutch Delta
Summary of PhD Program:
You will study technical and collaborative approaches to circular freshwater management in the Dutch Delta, focussing on cost-efficiency and broader welfare impacts on the environment, society and economy. The research investigates institutional-economic conditions for (i) transitioning to new governance systems and (ii) adopting circular economy practices. Understanding the distribution of costs and benefits among stakeholders will contribute to sound policy- and decision-making).

3. Fully Funded PhD Position in Adoption of Functional Agrobiodiversity and Modelling Ecosystem Services
Summary of PhD Program:
You will be part of a multidisciplinary project (FABforward) on various aspects of functional agrobiodiversity (FAB), funded by the Dutch Research Council (NWO). You will mainly work on economics and ecosystem services of FAB adoption by farmers. The position involves working across multiple research institutes. At the Institute for Environmental Studies (IVM) at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, you will design and implement a survey and choice experiment aimed at assessing FAB adoption by Dutch farmers.
Application Deadline: 14-7-2024
4. Fully Funded PhD Position in Sex and gender differences in the working mechanisms of addiction
Summary of PhD Program:
The PhD on this project will focus primarily on setting up and performing statistical analyses of these complex longitudinal and physiological data, including dynamic structural equation modelling. In these analyses, you will not only focus on sex-based biological differences (including variations in sex hormone levels) but also sociocultural gender-related differences (including variations in gender expression). Results will be published in scientific articles, with the overall aim to gain insight into the sex- and gender differences in the working mechanisms underlying alcohol use disorder.
Application Deadline: 25-8-2024

5. Fully Funded PhD Position in Differences in trainability of Wellbeing
Summary of PhD Program:
In this project, we, as a team, will go beyond the state of the art by setting up a (gamified) wellbeing training in a multi-omics informative sample, including (epi) genetic, metabolome, and environmental (exposome) data. We will extend traditional randomized control approaches by making optimal use of the unique characteristics of a twin sample, by using identical twins as (nearly) perfect matched controls. We will make, among other datasets, use of data of the Netherlands Twin Register.
Application Deadline: 11-7-2024
6. Fully Funded PhD Position in learning with algorithmic technologies in medical diagnosis
Summary of PhD Program:
Sophisticated algorithms, machine learning, deep learning, and Artificial Intelligence (AI) enable innovative ways of working and learning. A concrete and promising example of this is the use of AI in the domain of radiology. By using AI for diagnosing, radiologists can reduce their day-to-day workload, freeing up time to spend on medically challenging cases. This in turn can lead to more rigorous diagnostic accuracy, increased senses of autonomy in managing one’s daily work.
Application Deadline: 30-7-2024
7. Fully Funded PhD Position in Individual behaviour under climate change risks
Summary of PhD Program:
The Institute for Environmental Studies (IVM) has a new position for a PhD student in the field of behavioural economics. You will become part of a new interdisciplinary research programme (INSUREADAPT) funded by the European Research Council (ERC). This project aims to improve preparedness of households and businesses for multi-hazard climate change risks in the EU, such as floods and storms. The PhD project will be supervised by Prof. Wouter Botzen, Dr Peter Robinson, and Dr Sanchayan Banerjee. You will also collaborate with other researchers who will be recruited for this project.

9. Fully Funded PhD Position in Conservation genomics of endangered red pandas
Summary of PhD Program:
Understanding the population structure of (sub)species is crucial for both wildlife conservation and effective population management of back-up populations in zoos, given the potential harm hybridization poses to the reintroduction potential of zoo animals. The red panda (Ailurus fulgens) is an endangered mammal with only 2,500 to 10,000 individuals in the wild. Debate is ongoing whether the species should be split into two distinct species: Ailurus fulgens fulgens and Ailurus fulgens styani. This project aims to assess the genetic health of the worldwide zoo population and determine the taxonomic origin of its founders. Additionally, the candidate will explore genomic compatibility between populations to predict the potential effect of hybridization.
