**The Tytgat Group** Our group’s mission is to translate foundational research into clinical practice. With a focus on imaging, we assess the clinical efficacy of imaging techniques for staging and prognosis in newly diagnosed patients, as well as their prognostic significance during follow-up. We aim to leverage imaging findings to measure therapy...

**Your job**: The P2F project covers topics like mathematics, physics, geology, (palaeo-)biology and archaeology. Scientists from these fields have joined forces to make the most optimal use of past climatic conditions to better understand Earth’s climate response to different kinds of forcing, with focus on potential abrupt climatic transitions and the...

**Two PhD positions: Metasurfaces for energy-efficient wave-based computing**: **Work Activities**: Metasurfaces are ultra-flat and compact nanophotonic elements that are pursued worldwide to replace conventional bulky optical elements like mirrors, lenses, and prisms. Going beyond simple optics replacements, metasurfaces can also perform data processing on...

In this project, several teams (clinical centers, serious game developers, and academic institutions) combine their multidisciplinary skills to create and deploy a solution for rehabilitating patients having visual impairments by offering them training scenarios using a virtual reality (VR) setup. **Your job**: The Visualisation and Graphics group within...

This PhD project is part of an NWO-funded KiC project: ‘Responsible Scaling of Data-driven Approaches for Enhancing Mental Healthcare’. You will collaborate with UMC Utrecht, as well as external partners including InfoSupport, E-health academy, Diabetesfonds, mental health institutes, MIND, and De Nederlandse GGZ. The Social and Affective Computing group...

**Your job**: This interdisciplinary PhD research project aims to explore the conditions under which farm businesses are empowered to transition to regenerative agriculture, as well as to interrogate the role of existing regenerative agriculture schemes and key, but often overlooked food system actors (among which farmer organisations, banks, advisors and...

In this PhD position, you will do research within the project 'Restoring the structural collagen network in the regeneration of cartilage' (Re-COLL). In particular, you will focus on the development of an innovative cartilage tissue-on-a-chip system, enabling detailed investigations into the structural network of the tissue itself. **Your job**: Tissue...

**PhD Position: The stochastic thermodynamics of nanomechanical computers**: **Work Activities**: - Scientific background - _The energy consumption of computers is a significant scientific and societal problem: Information technology is already responsible for more CO2 emissions than the airline industry. At the fundamental level, the energy cost of a...

**Your job**: Many of the standard equations in mathematical physics are based on the fundamental assumption that matter is continuous. In this project, we will revisit such equations by dropping this continuum assumption. We will consider spatial networks - random graph-like structures that permeate space - as the basis and attempt to describe commonly used...

Do you want to investigate sedimentation enhancing strategies for coastal delta adaptation? Join this unique project as a PhD candidate!Coastal river deltas must adapt to relative sea-level rise. Sedimentation, which occurs naturally in deltas, is a key factor for successful adaptation. However, anthropogenic activities reduce sediment delivery and hinder...

Are you interested in posttraumatic stress and improving and evaluating interventions for vulnerable groups, together with healthcare professionals who carry out treatments on a daily basis? Then this is PhD position may be interesting to you. **Your job**: Existing trauma-focused treatments are not always appropriate for traumatised people from refugee...

**PhD student: Single-molecule biophysics of the ubiquitin motor Cdc48/p97**: **Work Activities**: **Questions -** Ubiquitin is central to a broadly important regulatory system within cells, which controls anything from protein degradation to membrane remodeling and DNA replication regulation. Cdc48 performs these tasks by disassembling protein complexes,...

**PhD-student: Nonlinear metaphotonics for UV semiconductor metrology**: **Work Activities**: How do you design optical metasurfaces that efficiently radiate UV light by nonlinear frequency conversion? How do the geometry of meta-atoms and their arrangement in the metasurface translate into beam structuring, i.e., control over the amplitude, phase and...

**Work Activities**: - Scientific background - _The energy consumption of computers is a significant scientific and societal problem: Information technology is already responsible for more CO2 emissions than the airline industry. At the fundamental level, the energy cost of a computation is dictated by the laws of thermodynamics: computations must evolve in...

**PhD-position: Quantum nano-optomechanics**: **Work Activities**: The Photonic Forces group at AMOLF is looking for PhD students to join our team working on the intriguing physics of nano-optomechanical systems. We are fascinated by the ability of light to measure and control mechanical motion in new and powerful ways. We seek to challenge the limits of...

PFAS (per - and polyfluoroalkyl substances) are so-called ‘’forever chemicals’’ that are found everywhere: in our soils, water, food and bodies. PFAS contamination of soils is an increasingly important global issue, and we still lack sustainable methods for PFAS remediate. The PFAS Remediation Living Lab is a contaminated location at the Utrecht...
