This PhD project at the Institute for Risk Assessment Sciences (IRAS) at Utrecht University focuses on how interventions and broader societal transitions affect air quality in the Netherlands. The research sits within the NWA-ORC project ExpACT, which examines the health effects of air pollution and develops improved monitoring technologies and methods for understanding changing pollution levels and sources. You will investigate how real-world interventions change air pollution in a series of pr...

Radboud University is recruiting a PhD candidate for the BALANS project, a national research initiative on balancing the practical functionality of waterways with their biodiversity value. The project focuses on waterways such as ditches, where maintenance is necessary to preserve water flow but can substantially affect aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. The PhD research will examine how waterway management practices—including the timing, frequency and spatial scale of mowing, as well as the ma...

About this position

This postdoctoral position sits within the SPARKLES project, which explores how floating photovoltaic (FPV) systems on inland waters can be developed in ways that are beneficial for both people and nature. The project connects energy science, ecology and governance to support a nature-positive energy transition, and this role focuses on bringing the project’s different strands together at the landscape scale.

The successful researcher will work on integrating existing research outputs, datasets and insights from across the consortium into a coherent analytical framework. The emphasis is on identifying, harmonising and combining environmental and ecological data with social, spatial and governance-related information to reveal patterns, relationships, synergies and trade-offs across landscapes. Rather than studying a single site or discipline in isolation, the project aims to develop an integrated understanding of floating solar in the wider landscape context.

You will work closely with researchers and partners across the SPARKLES consortium and contribute to work that links renewable energy production, ecological functioning and societal values. The role involves assessing data availability and compatibility, developing an appropriate spatial and analytical framework, and turning the results into scientific outputs and knowledge that can support responsible and nature-inclusive floating solar development.

The position is based at the Netherlands Institute of Ecology (NIOO-KNAW) in Wageningen, a leading ecological research institute within the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences. The research environment brings together expertise in aquatic and terrestrial ecology, energy systems, governance and societal dimensions of floating solar, offering a collaborative setting for interdisciplinary work with practical relevance.

For further information about the position, contact Dr. Sven Teurlincx.

Funding details

Salary scale 10: €3,706 to €5,760 gross per month based on a full-time position, plus 8% holiday allowance and 8.3% year-end bonus; appointment is 18 months at 0.8 FTE (32 hours per week).

What's required

Applicants must have a PhD in ecology, environmental science, geography, landscape science, environmental modelling, sustainability science or a related discipline. Candidates should have experience working with spatial and environmental datasets and a strong interest in integrating different data types for landscape-scale research. Strong quantitative and analytical skills are required, including experience with GIS and statistical or spatial data analysis; experience with R or Python is an advantage. Applicants should be able to critically assess datasets from different sources, understand their limitations and scales, and develop robust approaches for combining and interpreting them. An interest in interdisciplinary research at the interface of environmental science and social science is expected, particularly regarding land and water use, renewable energy, biodiversity and societal values. Strong communication and collaboration skills are required, along with the ability to work independently; experience with landscape-scale assessments, environmental indicators, scenario analysis, data harmonisation, or integrating ecological and social data is an advantage.

How to apply

Submit your CV, a motivation letter outlining your relevant experience and interest in the position, and the contact details of 2 referees through the application link. Review the SPARKLES and NIOO-KNAW pages for more information before applying.
