Leiden University is recruiting a full-time postdoctoral researcher for a two-year project on youth, digital media, and democracy in education , based in Leiden, The Netherlands. The researcher will join the Cognition in Development (CoDe) Lab, led by Dr. Ili Ma, within the Faculty of Social and Behavioural Sciences. The project investigates how social media and digital technologies shape adolescents’ understanding of societal issues, democratic attitudes, and civic participation, and how educat...

Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) invites applications for a three-year postdoctoral position on the epistemology of moral experiences in technology within the Faculty of Technology, Policy & Management. The postdoctoral researcher will work on the Techno-Moral Experience and the Foundations of Design for Values (TechnoMoralXP) project. The research develops a moral epistemology for Design for Values, examining how emotional and perceptual encounters with morally significant situations c...

Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) is hiring a postdoctoral researcher in optimization-driven verification and validation of precision machines . The project focuses on discovering how high-precision machines can fail before they are built. The researcher will help develop optimization-driven methods that automatically identify critical “unknown-unsafe” scenarios in semiconductor equipment and other high-tech systems. This opportunity is particularly relevant to researchers in mechanical ...

PhD opportunity in Process-Aware Information Systems for Circular Care Pathways at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e), Eindhoven, Netherlands. Join the NWO KIC-funded REMARK project and investigate how process-aware information systems can support sustainable, safe, and compliant circular healthcare pathways. The research will use event data and healthcare process information to monitor care-pathway execution, detect deviations, assess compliance risks, and identify opportunities to reduc...

Leiden University is recruiting a PhD candidate for a four-year, fully funded project in complex networks , at the intersection of mathematics and computer science. The research will investigate how mathematically tractable models can explain important features of complex networks, including clustering, community structure, and degree heterogeneity. The project combines theoretical modelling with computational and data-driven investigations of real-world networks. The PhD will be co-supervised a...
