1. Fully Funded PhD Position in transcription factor binding to chromatin at the single-molecule level
Summary of PhD Program:
In this project, we aim to design and construct custom chromatin fibers composed of dozens of nucleosomes to elucidate how these structures fold into higher-order configurations and how chromatin architecture influences transcription factor binding. Concurrently, a second PhD candidate in the Tineke Lenstra group at the Dutch Cancer Institute will investigate how transcription factor binding dynamics and cooperativity are regulated by individual nucleosomes, self-interactions, and DNA shape, and how these mechanisms govern single-cell transcription dynamics. You will collaborate closely and receive support from a multi-disciplinary team from both labs.
Application Deadline: 30 November 2024
2. Fully Funded PhD Position in Palaeolithic Archaeology
Summary of PhD Program:
The Faculty of Archaeology, Leiden University, seeks to appoint a full-time PhD candidate to carry out research in Paleolithic Archaeology. The successful candidate will join the Department of World Archaeology of our Faculty. The research should lead you to obtain a PhD within a four-year timeframe (1.0 FTE). The PhD candidate will be supervised by Dr Wei Chu (PI), Assistant Professor at the Faculty of Archaeology, Leiden University. The PhD candidate’s research is part of the ERC-funded Consolidator grant: HOME: Palaeolithic shelters in East-Central Europe.
Application Deadline: 15 November 2024

3. Fully Funded PhD Position in Software Optimization and Compiler
Summary of PhD Program:
We are looking for a PhD candidate in Software Optimization and Compiler Techniques. This is an exciting and fully-funded dual-appointment PhD candidate and junior software administrator position that allows you to both conduct cutting-edge research leading to a PhD thesis as well as gain experience in system administration in a scientific computing environment. Both require in-depth knowledge and understanding of low-level computer systems and as such these positions reinforce each other. The practice helps the theory, and the theory helps the practice. As such, this unique position allows you to become a highly specialized researcher in the field of structure and optimization of computer systems.
Application Deadline: 18 November 2024
4. Fully Funded PhD Position in Computational Modeling of Auger Capture Rates
Summary of PhD Program:
The Faculty of Science Leiden and the Leiden Institute of Chemistry are looking for a PhD student to work on a project related to around plasma-surface interactions. Unlike gases, plasmas contain highly reactive species such as radicals and ions. These species are of interest for plasma-enhanced catalytic reactions and for plasma-assisted structuring of surfaces. However, the understanding of plasma-surface interactions is still in its infancy: existing PSI models used in engineering are empirically motivated and fail to capture the underlying surface interactions required for mechanistic understanding. A prevailing assumption for metal surfaces is that excited electrons effectively neutralise plasma ions on impact through Auger processes.

5. 02 Fully Funded PhD Position in ERC project Worlding America
Summary of PhD Program:
We are looking for an excellent, highly motivated, enterprising and enthusiastic PhD candidate to join the project team. WORLDING AMERICA researches how play has been a key force in the past and present process of creating America as a coherent and hegemonic world, from 1503 to the present. ‘Play’ is an activity linked to change, serious even when frivolous, potentially transgressive even when rule-bound. Play intersects with the process of worlding (bringing a new world into existence) in liminal moments when new media forms develop in conjunction with political developments. WORLDING AMERICA seeks out historical moments of disruptive play, when new visual media were introduced that contributed directly to tangible political change.
Application Deadline: 8 November 2024
6. Fully Funded PhD Position in Secure and sustainable supply of raw materials for strategic value chains
Summary of PhD Program:
We are looking for an outstanding PhD candidate to work in the context of a Collaborative Doctoral Partnership Agreement between Leiden University and the Joint Research Centre: the science and knowledge service of the European Commission in Ispra, Italy. The aim of the collaboration is to develop a novel framework to analyse competitive, resilient, responsible, and circular supply chains for the EU – Applications to examples related to the low carbon and digital transitions. Material requirements of the energy and digital transition will analysed in conjunction with material supply. Crucial technologies require multiple critical materials, each dependent on often complex supply chains.
Application Deadline: 22 November 2024
7. Fully Funded PhD Position in Machine Learning for Quantum Systems
Summary of PhD Program:
We are looking for Ph.D. candidates interested in research at the intersection of machine learning (ML) and quantum many-body physics. The successful candidate will work with Dr. Anna Dawid on developing new ML approaches to challenging quantum problems, with a strong focus on making these approaches interpretable, reliable, and scalable. In this position, you will learn about state-of-the-art deep learning solutions as well as the challenges of building and working with quantum platforms such as ultracold Rydberg quantum simulators. You will be given an increasing amount of scientific freedom supported by structured mentoring that includes career development plans guided by your plans after the PhD.

8. Fully Funded PhD Position in Arabic Studies and archaeology
Summary of PhD Program:
The Faculty of Humanities at Leiden University invites applications for a fulltime PhD position in Arabic literature and history. The PhD candidate will carry out research within the framework of the VICI research project ‘Land, space, power: Landscapes of the early caliphate,’ funded by the Dutch Science Foundation (NWO) and led by PI Petra Sijpesteijn. The great Arab-Islamic conquests of the 7th century CE set in motion transformations that fundamentally changed the social and cultural fabric of the Middle East, bedding in a package of systems, structures and ideas that continue to characterise the region to this day. What motivated these changes and why were they so enduring?

9. Fully Funded PhD Position in Arabic Studies
Summary of PhD Program:
The great Arab-Islamic conquests of the 7th century CE set in motion transformations that fundamentally changed the social and cultural fabric of the Middle East, bedding in a package of systems, structures and ideas that continue to characterise the region to this day. What motivated these changes and why were they so enduring? This project aims to answer these questions in an entirely new way, by stepping beyond traditional approaches and looking instead at how the spatial and environmental system in which the Arab-Islamic project was enacted and by which it created a culturally invested landscape that embodied, reflected and perpetuated a specifically Arab-Islamic experience of the environment, even for its non-Arab, non-Muslim inhabitants.

10. Fully Funded PhD Position in Clinical Psychology
Summary of PhD Program:
This project addresses the gap between current psychotherapy training and the reality of clinical practice. It aims to create a research-informed training model that equips therapists with the skills needed to handle the complexities of clinical work. You will write articles which will culminate in a dissertation. About 10% of the time will be spent on teaching, such as supervising BSc and MSc thesis projects.
Application Deadline: 29 November 2024
11. Fully Funded PhD Position in biochemistry / cell glycobiology / targeted protein degradation
Summary of PhD Program:
Carbohydrate metabolism is closely associated with health and many diseases and relies mainly on glycosidases and glycosyltransferases: carbohydrate processing enzymes that break and create glycosidic bonds, respectively. Controlling their activities is vital for understanding pathological processes in, and developing therapeutics for glycan- related diseases. Recently, new targeted protein degradation (TPD) technologies, which disable disease-related proteins by degradation, have opened therapeutic possibilities for proteins that are otherwise hard to inhibit. While TPD within the cytoplasm, cell membrane, and extracellular space can be achieved with current approaches, proteins in the Golgi apparatus can not be degraded by means of the current methods.
