2. Fully Funded PhD Position in Trustworthy Analysis of Stochastic Timed Systems
Summary of PhD Program:
We offer two Ph.D. positions within the TruSTy project on “Trustworthy Analysis of Stochastic Timed Systems” funded by NWO, the Dutch Research Council. The project’s goal is to create new highly-reliable approaches – languages, algorithms, and tools – for the modelling and analysis of complex systems subject to uncertainty. The project’s mathematical foundations are extensions of continuous-time Markov chains and Markov decision processes. Its approach is the development of sound, fast, and provably correct algorithms with the assistance of interactive theorem provers.

4. Fully Funded PhD Position in Dynamic Disease Maps and Digital Twins for novel treatments of OA
Summary of PhD Program:
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a complex disease in which multiple tissues in the joint are affected. Recently, multiple OA risk genes were identified based on small genetic variations (SNPs) in the regulatory sequences of these genes. These variations can lead to unfavorable expression of these genes contributing to disease progression. OA patients have different unique combinations of SNPs that lead to OA onset and progression. In this project we will uncover the integrated effects of deviant OA risk gene expression in cartilage with the aim to develop effective disease-modifying therapies. As a PhD student, you will play a central role in this process by building an in silico disease map that models these effects and enables more precise treatments.

5. Fully Funded PhD Position in Meaning making in the implementation of integral capacity management
Summary of PhD Program:
In this PhD project, you will study how individual change processes within employees can unlock organizational change (and vice versa). You will determine how mental health care employees interpret information (e.g., about events, actions, contexts) in a personal manner in different developmental stages. The project aims to gain insight into employees’ meaning making strategies, and how they use those strategies to create commitment for change or for maintaining the status quo. You will design interventions and implement those to redesign ways of working. The project will provide you a unique opportunity to advance both your theoretical knowledge of individual change processes and contribute to making mental health care more accessible.

7. Fully Funded PhD Position in Biophysics
Summary of PhD Program:
The objective of this project is to identify and characterize such rare events and to study why certain events evade protein quality control or why the protein quality control cannot revert this event. This project will investigate how these protein misfolding and aggregation events are influenced by the biochemical and physicochemical properties, and whether these properties are altered by factors such as disease-related mutations, post-translational modifications or errors in the quality control system.

8. Fully Funded PhD Position in multimodal information fusion in dynamic environments
Summary of PhD Program:
This research project focuses on the effective control and data integration of drone swarms: combining heterogeneous information from different sources in a meaningful way is a complicated task. Each information source may contribute differently to the overall picture, with variations in data types, sampling times, and resolutions. Despite these differences, a consistent and reliable result must be delivered to a human observer. When multiple drones explore an environment, they need to be controlled effectively as a group, and their sensed data must be combined regardless of each drone’s relative position in the swarm. Missing data must be inferred from past observations or by integrating other data sources.
Application Deadline: 5 Jan 2025
9. Fully Funded PhD Position in Physics-Informed Neural Networks for Multi-Hazard Modelling
Summary of PhD Program:
This PhD position is funded by the Dutch national earth and environmental sector plan, to advance the scientific field of AI on early warning systems. It aims to develop advanced Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs) for modeling the complex interactions between multiple geophysical processes, specifically earthquakes, and landslides. The primary objective is to create a unified, scalable framework that accurately simulates these coupled hazards while addressing computational efficiency and uncertainty quantification. Central to this work is the coupling of partial differential equations (PDEs) governing seismic wave propagation, soil stability, and potentially multi-phase flow, allowing the PINNs to capture the nonlinear, multi-scale interactions between these hazards.
