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.

1. Fully Funded PhD Position in Effects of Events and Faultiness on Multiteam System adaptation

Summary of PhD Program:

The project contains experimental studies in which multi-team systems are studied with participants in a laboratory setting, as well as field studies, in which members of multi-team systems in a variety of organizations will be interviewed and asked to fill in questionnaires over time. As a PhD student on this project, you will be involved in designing and conducting these laboratory and field studies in close collaboration with your supervisors. You will develop hypotheses, collect and analyse data, communicate with participants and organizations, write scientific papers, and present findings at scientific conferences.

2. Fully Funded PhD Position in Reducing the Environmental Impact of Medication Use

Summary of PhD Program:

This PhD project is part of the MUMC+ innovation budget initiative “Reducing the Environmental Impact of Medication Use”, embedded in the Dutch Green Deal Sustainable Healthcare 3.0, which includes a dedicated pillar on minimizing the environmental footprint of pharmaceuticals. You will investigate and implement solutions to reduce medication waste across the entire pharmaceutical pathway in hospitals, focusing on preventing pharmaceutical residues from entering wastewater, and designing sustainable interventions for high-emission clinical departments.

3. Fully Funded PhD Position in long-term history of the European Union’s Eastern enlargement

Summary of PhD Program:

We invite proposals from candidates interested in further exploring the long-term history of the EU’s Eastern enlargement. Potential projects should look at East-West European relations, informal contacts, and mutual imaginaries, focusing on the period between the 1970s and the 1990s. Projects may adopt the perspective of a country, an organization, or non-state actors in either Eastern or Western Europe—provided the perspective includes meaningful engagement with the other side of the East-West divide. Submitted proposals should reflect the awareness of the existing historiography on the topic, include a clearly formulated research question and an indication of the source base.

4. Fully Funded PhD Position in Computational Cardiology

Summary of PhD Program:

Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) affects millions worldwide, particularly elderly patients. Many of these patients also have mitral valve problems, creating a clinical dilemma: should we fix the valve or treat the underlying heart muscle disease? Wrong decisions mean unnecessary procedures for vulnerable patients or missed opportunities for effective treatment. Current diagnostic tools can’t definitively answer this question – but your research will change that.

5. Fully Funded PhD Position in Predicting Adherence to Digital Health-Promoting Interventions

Summary of PhD Program:

We are seeking a PhD candidate on predicting adherence to digital health-promoting interventions with Artificial Intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) techniques. You will develop AI-based predictive models to anticipate user engagement, primarily using data collected through unobtrusive measurements (e.g., websites, smartphones, smartwatches). The goal is to construct a AI-driven framework that predicts both intervention use (e.g., content exposure, study protocol completion) and behavior. Better adherence prediction is crucial to support the development, tailoring and delivery of health promoting interventions, and ultimately their effectiveness and success.

6. Fully Funded PhD Position in Language & Migration in Limburg

Summary of PhD Program:

You will have the freedom to develop your own research focus within this broader framework. Possible directions include the language-cultural practices or the sociolinguistic biographies of (former) labour migrants from Morocco, Poland, or Turkey; a historical or contemporary linguistic-ethnographic case study of a specific company, community, or institution; or an investigation of sociolinguistic change in relation to workplace automation or Euregional integration.

2. Fully Funded PhD Position in Plant Ecology

Summary of PhD Program:

Terrestrial ecosystems are facing unprecedented rates of change, brought about by prevailing ecological stressors, such as climate change induced droughts, as well as novel stressors and pollutants, such as microplastic contamination in soil. Growing evidence suggests that microplastic fragments affect soil water content and soil microbial communities. This may in turn mitigate or exacerbate the effects of drought on soil and plants.

1. 1-2 Fully Funded PhD Position in Numerical Mathematics for Two-Phase Flow

Summary of PhD Program:

The PhD positions are part of the project “Physics-Adapted Numerical Methods for Two-Phase Flow” (PANum) funded by the Research Council of Norway. The project is a joint collaboration between Western Norway University of Applied Sciences and Hasselt University in Belgium.

In PANum the goal is to formulate and implement numerical methods that are not only robust, efficient and have a low numerical error, but that also guarantee that important physical properties are fulfilled in the numerical solution. Ultimately, PANum will lead to a computational algorithm that reliably simulates two-phase flow.

2. Fully Funded PhD Position in Semi-Autonomous Teleoperated Robots

Summary of PhD Program:

Teleoperation becomes necessary when a robotic system cannot be designed to run with full autonomy, often due to the complexity of the task or the unsuitable robot environment. The operator gives control inputs to the robot through an input device (joystick, haptic input device, exoskeleton, etc.). However, in many scenarios, it is inefficient or too costly to implement a pure teleoperated system.
