PhD, Master’s & Postdoc Opportunities in Mining Engineering in Netherlands

This postdoctoral project focuses on satellite-based monitoring of shipping emissions , with the goal of detecting and quantifying emissions from individual ships using observations from space. The research sits at the interface of satellite remote sensing , atmospheric chemistry , atmospheric modelling , and inverse methods , and is aimed at improving how ship plumes can be identified and translated into quantitative emission estimates. At Wageningen University & Research, you will work within ...

Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam is seeking a postdoctoral researcher for the POWERNATURE project, an international research initiative examining how electricity-grid corridors can support biodiversity restoration and ecological connectivity across Europe. The researcher will develop spatial scenarios of future electricity-grid expansion by considering renewable-energy deployment, existing networks, energy demand, and competing land-use demands. The work will adapt the CLUMondo land-system change mo...

This postdoctoral position at the Netherlands Institute of Ecology (NIOO-KNAW) sits within the European more4nature project and focuses on the intersection of citizen science , pollinator conservation and environmental policy . The project asks how citizen-generated data and community-led action can strengthen environmental protection, improve biodiversity monitoring and support the implementation of environmental legislation. The successful researcher will examine how citizen science contributi...

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 ...

Ecology of Waterway Management is a 4-year postdoctoral project at the Department of Ecology, Radboud University, within the broader BALANS consortium in the Netherlands. The project addresses how waterways such as ditches can be managed to maintain water flow capacity while also supporting important biodiversity. The postdoc will work on a collaborative research effort involving Radboud University, the University of Groningen, FLORON/RAVON, Wageningen Environmental Research, and project managem...

The SolidTree project is a transdisciplinary postdoctoral research position focused on how soil management can support healthier soil life and more sustainable production of avenue trees. The project responds to the environmental pressures associated with nursery practices such as fertilizer and pesticide use, and aims to develop practical strategies that reduce impacts on the surrounding environment while maintaining productive tree cultivation. Working within an NWO-funded consortium, you will...

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...

Wageningen University & Research is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to develop innovative methods for satellite-based monitoring of shipping emissions. The project focuses on detecting and quantifying pollution plumes from individual ships using observations from space, with particular attention to how atmospheric conditions influence plume visibility and how satellite measurements can be converted into ship-level emission estimates. The researcher will work at the interface of satellite remot...

This postdoctoral position is part of ROUTES – Reimagining Open Schoolyards and Urban Streets as Equitable Spaces , a Horizon Europe / New European Bauhaus project coordinated by Delft University of Technology . The project explores how transforming schoolyards and school streets into shared, equitable spaces can strengthen safety, social cohesion, active mobility, inclusivity, and well-being in neighborhood communities across Europe. The postdoc will join the Department of Sustainable Design En...
