1. Fully Funded PhD Position in Modeling soil processes/functions at the field scale in regenerative agriculture
Summary of PhD Program:
The project aims to be an accelerator for the transition to a regenerative, profitable and socially supported agricultural sector. As part of this project, we will monitor and model a range of different regenerative agricultural systems to understand which combinations of practices work for a range of agricultural, socio-economic and environmental outcomes. The outcomes assessed include; soil health, water and air quality, biodiversity and socio-economic goals such as farm income, citizen involvement, animal welfare and much more. Moreover, we will study how performance on these outcomes can be valued in food system governance.
Application Deadline: 30 September 2025
2. Fully Funded PhD Position in Evaporation-driven self-assembly at fluid-fluid interfaces
Summary of PhD Program:
Self-assembled structures of colloidal particles and/or polymers at a liquid-air interface can be spontaneously generated when a multiphase multicomponent liquid volume in confinement (e.g. in a droplet or in a capillary) is driven out of equilibrium through evaporation. Such structures are ubiquitous in several biological and industrial processes. and leads to a multitude of interesting phenomena characterized by their rich physics, such as phase separation, stratification, compaction, and crystallization.

3. Fully Funded PhD Position in Social Media and Polarisation
Summary of PhD Program:
In the project, you will study communication in digital interactions on social media and help develop a new framework on how social media influence both experienced and actual polarization. You will focus on different types of communication on social media and how that affects polarization. You will use an innovative multimethod quantitative approach, such as longitudinal survey research, (automated) content analysis, and experiments. You will work closely with the PI and members of the Strategic Communication group.
Application Deadline: 27 October 2025
4. Fully Funded PhD Position in Microfluidic NMR spectroscopy for microbiological investigations
Summary of PhD Program:
We are seeking an enthusiastic and motivated PhD candidate with a strong interest in microfluidics, hardware development and NMR spectroscopy. The project focuses on designing and manufacturing innovative microfluidic devices to be used for discovering and isolating novel syntrophic microbes from anoxic environments, with the aim of understanding microbial interactions, metabolic capabilities, and ecological roles. The PhD position is part of the NWO-funded project ‘BREATHLESS: uncovering the love affairs of anaerobic microbes through omics and microfluidics’.
Application Deadline: 6 October 2025

5. Fully Funded PhD Position in Environmental Assessments using Opportunistic Sample Data
Summary of PhD Program:
Your research will contribute to effective environmental monitoring and mapping. When we have control over our spatiotemporal sampling of observational data locations, we first define the population. Next, we sample population units for (1) design-based estimation of population parameters, such as the mean and standard deviation of some target property or for (2) model-based prediction (i.e., mapping) of environmental properties such as forest biomass.
Application Deadline: 13 October 2025
6. Fully Funded PhD Position in impact-based climate forecasting for vulnerable population groups in Africa
Summary of PhD Program:
Are you passionate about tackling climate-related challenges and empowering climate-affected communities in Africa? Do you want to pursue an interdisciplinary PhD research project with a real-world impact that supports the climate resilience of at-risk populations in five African countries. If so, an exciting job opportunity is waiting for you! We are looking for a pro-active, analytical and self-motivated PhD candidate to contribute to our understanding of advances, gaps and opportunities for impact-based forecasting for vulnerable population groups across Africa.
