The Leiden Academic Centre for Drug Research (LACDR) at Leiden University is offering a PhD position within the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Doctoral Network ANA-KIN . The project sits at the interface of AI, cheminformatics, and kinase drug discovery, with a focus on moving beyond traditional ATP-site targeting in order to support the discovery of more selective and resistance-aware kinase ligands. As Doctoral Candidate 10 , you will work on deep-learning methods that combine text-mined information, ...

This PhD project at Delft University of Technology focuses on extracting new mineral-exploration value from legacy geophysical datasets originally acquired for petroleum work. You will investigate the thin Kupferschiefer horizon beneath the Netherlands and the North Sea, combining well logs, seismic reflection data, basin analysis, geochemistry and mineralogical information to characterise the target and its mineral potential. The research is strongly interdisciplinary and sits at the intersecti...

Maastricht University’s Brightlands Institute for Smart Society (BISS) is inviting applications for a postdoctoral position focused on developing artificial intelligence methods that can make sense of complex human signals. The project brings together machine learning, multimodal data, neurophysiological sensing and adaptive systems . The postdoctoral researcher will work on sophisticated predictive models while also investigating the mechanisms and human processes that those models represent or...

PRIMA-CMR is a collaborative EuroTech Universities Alliance project between Eindhoven University of Technology and the Technical University of Munich, focused on making cardiac MRI safer by enabling much lower use of gadolinium-based contrast agents. The PhD project sits in the Medical Image Analysis group in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at TU/e and centers on trustworthy generative AI for dynamic cardiac MRI. The successful candidate will develop new methods that recover diagnostic ...

This PhD project focuses on radar remote sensing for detecting logging in tropical forests , with the broader aim of supporting tools that help curb illegal timber trade. The successful candidate will work on a research project developing independent techniques to verify timber origin under new international legislation. You will process and analyse novel satellite radar data and develop remote-sensing methods to identify logging occurrence and logging intensity across pantropical forests. The p...

The University of Amsterdam’s Faculty of Science is recruiting multiple PhD candidates for a project on symmetries and their breaking in deep learning , supported by a Simons Foundation grant. The positions are based in the Amsterdam Machine Learning Lab (AMLab), in a new research group led by Associate Professor Nabil Iqbal at the intersection of deep learning and physics. The project seeks mathematically principled explanations for how modern neural networks develop complex capabilities from s...

AMLab at the University of Amsterdam is recruiting a 2-year postdoc to work with Nabil Iqbal on a Simons Foundation–supported project on symmetries and their breaking in deep learning . The position sits at the intersection of machine learning, theoretical physics, and mathematical modelling, with a focus on understanding how modern neural architectures develop useful emergent behaviour from simple components. The project asks fundamental questions about the dynamics of deep learning and aims to...

PhD research at Radboudumc will focus on AI-driven handheld ultrasound for military trauma care. The project asks how artificial intelligence can make portable ultrasound more accessible and effective in challenging operational settings, where medical resources, specialist expertise, and evacuation options may be limited. You will work on the development and evaluation of AI methods for medical imaging, with a particular emphasis on ultrasound-based rapid diagnostics. A key starting point is EFA...
