PhD, Master’s & Postdoc Opportunities in Law in Netherlands

This PhD project at Erasmus School of Law, Erasmus University Rotterdam , explores the role of Warranty & Indemnity (W&I) insurance in mergers and acquisitions, with a focus on how it reshapes risk allocation between buyer and seller. The position sits in the Law & Business department, an interdisciplinary research environment where legal scholarship meets entrepreneurship, economics, and market practice. The project examines the legal and practical tensions created when W&I insurance becomes pa...

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 ...

This PhD project sits within an NWO-funded study on how organisations can build positive cybersecurity solutions by learning from what already works well. Rather than focusing on failures, the project asks what successful organisations do differently across the individual, team, and organisational levels to prevent cyber incidents or reduce their impact. The advertised PhD position concentrates on the organisational level of that broader research question. The selected candidate will carry out e...
