1. PhD Programs in Human and Mammalian Oocytes and Early Embryos
Summary of PhD Positions:
The key objective of this PhD project is to understand how a unique chromosomal feature of mammalian oocytes and early embryos, named the fibrous corona, helps to promote high fidelity chromosome segregation and thereby reduce the chance of generating aneuploid progeny. Our preliminary data show that the corona is central to the mechanisms that direct spindle assembly and correct chromosome orientations during early development. The experiments will be performed on both large animal models and on surplus immature human oocytes which are discarded from ICSI cycles. The results of this project may contribute to future strategies to prevent chromosome segregation errors in early in vitro embryos.
Application Deadlines: 5 February 2023
2. PhD Programs in probabilistic subsidence predictions for building damage
Summary of PhD Positions:
The Department of Earth Sciences is now looking for a highly-motivated, high-potential applicant to fill a PhD position on human-induced subsidence and building damage. The PhD research will be conducted in collaboration with Padova University and research institute TNO. Subsidence-induced damage to the built environment is a worldwide issue, especially in low-lying urbanized coastal zones worldwide such as Venice (Italy) and the Netherlands. In the Netherlands alone, estimated costs of subsidence on buildings and infrastructure are in the order of tens of billions in the coming decades.

3. PhD Programs in Synergies & Trade-offs
Summary of PhD Positions:
This PhD project will focus on the synergies and trade-offs between impacts of national land-use strategies on various SDGs. In this project you will spatially explicitly quantify the environmental impacts of land-use change scenarios (e.g. Biodiversity, water and climate) and assess the synergies and trade-offs between them. You will develop an integrated interdisciplinary and generally applicable approach to map synergies and trade-offs between SDGs for low and middle income as well as high income countries that you will test on case study countries such as Brazil, South Africa and the Netherlands. You will work in a highly interdisciplinarity and international research environment.
Application Deadlines: 10 February 2023
4. PhD Programs in modelling global sustainable consumption
Summary of PhD Positions:
Your PhD project focuses on humane AI with a special focus on its responsible application in preventive health and dementia care. You will be researching conflicting values and valuations of such technologies, and co-create possible innovation pathways with relevant stakeholders (e.g. technology developers, policymakers, care professionals, citizens) across a range of fieldlabs. The project thus provides a unique opportunity to study ‘innovation in action’.

7. PhD Programs in Pharmacoepidemiology Methods
Summary of PhD Positions:
Post-marketing safety monitoring of COVID-19 vaccines has been crucial in flagging relevant safety signals, as these vaccines were developed and distributed at unprecedented speed. Rapid safety evaluation studies test safety signals for causality, and regulatory instances rely on such early-stage observational studies to inform their policies. However, due to the novelty of the COVID-19 vaccine situation, it is unclear which approach would provide the optimal balance between speed and robustness.
Application Deadlines: 13 January 2023
8. PhD Programs in Ontology Enrichment using Intelligent Document Processing
Summary of PhD Positions:
In this 4-year PhD project, you will seek to develop a conceptual framework and a general approach towards utilisation of this thin layer of semantic information for the sake of extracting formal domain knowledge. The approach will be applied in the domain of law enforcement and cybercrime. You will perform research on the topic of ontology extraction and enrichment using a variety of technologies from the fields of machine learning, natural language processing and information extraction. You will develop novel methods and algorithms, train, apply and validate them on real-life datasets, present and publish results at international conferences and in scientific journals, and complete your PhD thesis.

11. PhD Programs in Advanced Deep Data-Driven Nowcasting Models
Summary of PhD Positions:
Recent advances in Artificial Neural Network architectures (ANNs) have enabled data-driven based models to bridge the present gap for short-term forecasting. The research in this PhD project will be on developing a new theory to achieve more reliable and accurate nowcasting deep learning models. The key idea is to leverage large amount of unlabelled data for learning meaningful representation, incorporating several atmospheric variables and equipping the models with uncertainty quantification. The focus of this PhD project will be on developing novel self-supervised learning models to push the boundary of current deep data-driven nowcasting models.

12. PhD Programs in modelling global sustainable consumption and production patterns
Summary of PhD Positions:
The consumption and production patterns of key resources are a critical component of all sustainable development challenges. Therefore, a careful analysis of these patterns and supply chains of materials and how they may develop across different future scenarios is needed to 1) mitigate issues such as resource depletion and environmental degradation and 2) deal with the current inequality in consumption use. For this, the Copernicus Institute is looking for a highly motivated PhD researcher to join the PICASSO research team.
