1. Fully Funded PhD Position in synthesis & evaluation of biobased, responsive and self-dispersible waterborne resins
Summary of PhD Program:
Plastics have their drawbacks: their production consumes energy and leads to greenhouse gas emissions; they are made from non-sustainable materials; they do not decompose; and less than 10% are recycled. Much progress has been made in making plastics more sustainable for larger applications. However, thin films, such as those used in coatings and inks, are lagging behind. The SusInkCoat project is changing that. Researchers are developing new materials, processes and applications to improve the durability, functionality and recyclability of coatings, thin films and inks. In addition, the consortium is training a new generation of chemical developers for whom sustainability and circularity are core values.
Application Deadline: 31-12-2024
2. Fully Funded PhD Position in synthesis and evaluation of biobased covalent adaptable networks
Summary of PhD Program:
This project is part of the SusInkCoat consortium with partners both the public and the private sector. The goal of the SusInkCoat project is to develop switchable and adaptive functional polymers and additives for low environmental footprint. Plastics have their drawbacks: their production consumes energy and leads to greenhouse gas emissions; they are made from non-sustainable materials; they do not decompose; and less than 10% are recycled. Much progress has been made in making plastics more sustainable for larger applications.

3. Fully Funded PhD Position in top-down covalent adaptable and circular epoxy networks
Summary of PhD Program:
The European Green Deal is driving a shift towards a circular economy by 2050, challenging polymer science to revolutionize thermoset recycling. This project pioneers a completely new approach to make widely available epoxy-amine networks (e.g. wind mill blades) recyclable, while they are normally not recyclable. The key is a transformation of a bond present in the network to another bond with so-called reversible behavior upon a trigger (e.g. temperature), what makes recycling possible. This breakthrough in epoxy-amine recycling will be validated on coatings and composites.

4. Fully Funded PhD Position in Investigating Effects of Lifestyle Interventions on Carbohydrate Metabolism
Summary of PhD Program:
Lifestyle interventions are important not only in the prevention of metabolic diseases but also for improving health outcomes in patients with conditions such as cancer. In this PhD project advanced metabolic imaging techniques, such as deuterium metabolic imaging, will be developed at a 7T MRI scanner and applied to explore the impact of nutritional strategies and exercise interventions on carbohydrate metabolism across multiple organs, as well as in tumor tissue. By contributing to this project, the candidate will help generate new insights into how these interventions can be optimized for health improvements, both in disease prevention and patient care.

5. Fully Funded PhD Position in Nutrition and Brain Function
Summary of PhD Program:
A healthy lifestyle is a cornerstone to maintain a healthy brain, which is instrumental for the prevention of age-related diseases. The successful PhD-candidate will focus on well-controlled human intervention studies involving (older) adults with overweight or obesity to establish cause-effect relationships along the axis “human metabolism – brain function – cognitive performance”. For this, state-of-the-art (magnetic resonance) imaging methodologies and novel vascular/metabolic risk markers are being used. The specific focus of a first human intervention study will be on the longer-term effects of walnut consumption on vascular function and insulin-sensitivity in the brain.
Application Deadline: 8-12-2024
6. Fully Funded PhD Position in Learning and developing with quality indicators in elderly care
Summary of PhD Program:
In the project ‘Zorgprofessionals aan Zet’ (Healthcare Professionals in Action), healthcare professionals work on gaining more say in how they want to learn and develop, with what goal and with what data. The expectation is that this will lead to more efficient work, more job satisfaction for the healthcare professional and higher quality of care for clients and their loved ones. The National Prevalence Measurement of Healthcare Quality (LPZ) is an important quantitative instrument to monitor, improve and compare the quality of care within Dutch healthcare. This annual measurement looks at various quality indicators, including decubitus (bedsores), incontinence, malnutrition, falls and involuntary care in nursing homes.
Application Deadline: 8-12-2024
7. Fully Funded PhD Position in Digital innovation training occupational physician (DIOBA)
Summary of PhD Program:
As a PhD candidate, you will develop research skills and expertise that form an excellent basis for a career in science, education or business. Based on at least four scientific studies, you will work on new insights that are published in international journals. The Digital Innovation Occupational Physician Training (DIOBA) project aims to innovate occupational physician training by introducing digital technology and new learning methods that reduce the burden on institute and practice trainers. There is a growing shortage of occupational physicians.

8. Fully Funded PhD Position in Quantum Optimization for Military Mission Autonomy
Summary of PhD Program:
Since the invasion of Ukraine, the world is seeing a new geopolitical reality and is becoming increasingly unpredictable. Our society, politics, armed forces and knowledge institutions must act quickly. As a knowledge institute, TNO plays a crucial role in working on innovations to actively contribute to a safer world, both at national and European level. Unmanned systems are increasingly used in military operations. This creates a need to gain knowledge about scalable optimization of networked autonomous systems-of-systems.
Application Deadline: 5-01-2025
9. Fully Funded PhD Position in precision nutrition
Summary of PhD Program:
Insulin resistance is a key factor in the development of obesity‐related cardiometabolic diseases. Dietary interventions have proven effective in preventing chronic cardiometabolic diseases. Nutritional advice is often still given via general nutritional guidelines (one‐size‐fits‐all approach). We recently demonstrated that the success of dietary intervention may increase when advice is targeted to personal characteristics like metabolic phenotype (precision nutrition).

10. Fully Funded PhD Position in investigating the influence of care environment for people with dementia
Summary of PhD Program:
The PhD candidate’s task is to set up and conduct a study into the effects of daily life and well-being of elderly people living on a residential care farm and similar initiatives and to compare these with residents in other forms of housing, including small-scale housing and regular nursing home care. Special attention is paid to the final phase of life of residents. In addition, the PhD candidate investigates the experiences of family and loved ones.

11. Fully Funded PhD Position in Dissolution-based Techniques for Recycling Food Packaging
Summary of PhD Program:
Our group is looking for a PhD researcher to carry out research and development in the CLEANPack project. The goal of the CLEANPack project is to unlock advanced mechanical recycling (or more broadly physical recycling methods) as a methodology to allow closed loop recycling of polyolefin based food packaging. CLEANPACK will create a science based selection of reference components for food safety assessments of polyolefin recycling. Furthermore, the project will generate understanding of the behavior of such harmful substances in physical recycling methods such as the currently applied mechanical recycling, delamination/deinking (leaching) and dissolution recycling.

12. Fully Funded PhD Position in Circular Plastics team
Summary of PhD Program:
Join our cutting-edge project focused on advancing the future of flame retardant (FR) plastics! We are seeking a motivated PhD candidate to explore the degradation, processing, and recycling of polypropylene (PP) combined with innovative phosphorus-sulfur flame retardants. Despite their promising performance at low concentrations, P-S FRs are not yet commercially viable due to unknown decomposition mechanisms that hinder recyclability. This interdisciplinary research aims to unravel these mechanisms and establish a scientific foundation for developing new PP/FR materials with improved recyclability, ultimately contributing to sustainable practices in electronics and transportation industries.
