1. Fully Funded PhD Position in Seismic Hazard Assessment for Future Subsurface Activities
Summary of PhD Program:
To mitigate seismic risks from subsurface exploitation sites (geothermal energy, subsurface CO2, H2 storage), accurate seismic hazard assessment (SHA) is a necessity. In regions without historical earthquakes, conventional ground motion models cannot be locally calibrated and thus suffer from large uncertainty, rendering them unreliable for the seismic risk assessment of future subsurface activities. The SHAWave project – a collaboration between various Dutch universities and research institutes – will take a new and innovative approach to conducting probabilistic seismic hazard assessment. This approach combines novel computational modelling techniques, based on waveform simulations, with advanced data calibration and risk quantification techniques.
Application Deadline: 13 Apr 2024
2. Fully Funded PhD Position in Numerical modelling and geophysical inversion
Summary of PhD Program:
The Netherlands has invested a significant part of its GDP in data acquisition programs in the past 30 years. However, the formal integration and inversion of all available and complementary data (e.g. seismic, satellite, borehole, gravity, magnetic, etc.) have not been yet fully exploited for obtaining unifying, multi-parameter and internally consistent models of the subsurface at scales relevant for informing regional and nation-wide exploration efforts and strategic environmental planning. This project will develop novel ways of characterizing the physical state of the subsurface beneath the Netherlands via the formal integration of multiple geophysical, geochemical/petrological and petrophysical data into a single physics-based framework.

3. Fully Funded PhD Position in analysis of geometric machine learning methods
Summary of PhD Program:
We are looking for a motivated, theory-oriented PhD candidate to work on the project “A continuum view on geometric deep learning”. In this project we aim to understand the transferability, mesh-independence and effect of symmetries on geometric learning approaches, in general and when applied to scenarios governed by (partial) differential equations on objects with geometric invariances. A precise understanding of these aspects will be linked to their impact on stability and the understanding of spectral biases in graph neural networks.

9. Fully Funded PhD Position in Philosophy of Technology
Summary of PhD Program:
Education is increasingly permeated by and enacted through technological artifacts. These artifacts provide opportunities for learning that is more effective, individually tailored and in tune with pressing societal challenges. Importantly, such education is about more than the transfer of knowledge and acquisition of skills! That is, it also shapes the very students it teaches. Technology profoundly affects this process. Just as our interactions with technologies shape the spaces, experiences, practices and knowledge that education has to offer, they also co-shape the kinds of intellectual, moral, professional and political subjects that students become, and the opportunities they have for taking part in that process.
