Wageningen University & Research is inviting applications for three fully funded PhD positions within the NWO-funded Coast-Water-Solutions project, hosted by the Hydrology and Environmental Hydraulics Group. These positions offer the opportunity to contribute to innovative research on sustainable (ground)water system management, focusing on combating salinity and climate pressures in vulnerable delta regions, particularly the Bangladesh Delta. Position 1 – Water-Food Nexus: This role centers on ...

The University of Twente invites applications for an Engineering Doctorate (EngD) position in the Digital Dikes project, focusing on developing a multiscale framework for risk assessment of Backward Erosion Piping. The Netherlands depends on its dikes for flood protection, but current models lack precision in predicting dike collapse due to seepage-induced sand erosion. The Digital Dikes consortium, led by University of Twente and supported by partners including University of Utrecht, Eindhoven ...

Utrecht University is inviting applications for a PhD position focused on land-surface modelling of mountain hydrological processes in the Himalaya. This research is crucial for understanding how the mountain cryosphere—comprising snow, glaciers, and permafrost—supports global water resources, especially as these systems face rapid changes due to climate change. The successful candidate will join the Department of Physical Geography within the Faculty of Geosciences, working under the supervisio...

This PhD position focuses on seismology for geothermal exploration and long-term geothermal monitoring, offered as a joint program between the University of Twente (Netherlands) and the HUN-REN EPSS Kövesligethy Radó Seismological Observatory (Hungary). The research will involve developing and applying advanced seismic methods to improve geothermal reservoir imaging, exploration, and monitoring. Key research areas include ambient seismic noise tomography, receiver function analysis, earthquake d...
