PhD, Master’s & Postdoc Opportunities in Public Health in Netherlands

ICM Research Institute is inviting postdoctoral researchers to participate in a three-month remote Guest Researcher programme designed to support stronger MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowship 2027 applications. The next programme theme is “Advanced Materials, Technologies and Societal Impact for Energy and Environment.” The programme centres on data-driven value creation in the participant’s own research topic. Researchers will explore how shared data, artificial intelligence and digitalisation can crea...

This postdoc is part of the AmmoniaDrive project at Delft University of Technology and focuses on bringing an ammonia-fuelled SOFC-ICE power, propulsion and energy concept closer to real-world shipboard use. The project addresses the challenge of converting the energy stored in ammonia into useful mechanical or electrical power on board sea-going vessels while preserving range, speed, and operational flexibility. You will investigate how the NH3-fuelled system performs when integrated into a shi...

This PhD project at Delft University of Technology focuses on energy data sharing for city-level policy making using digital twins within the FEDERATE NWO project. The research addresses a practical bottleneck in municipal decarbonization and sustainability planning: digital twins often depend on fragmented, partial, and incomplete data, while municipalities need richer and more actionable information to support policy decisions. The doctoral researcher will study data sharing architectures that...

This PhD project investigates how forest carbon uptake is changing worldwide under climate change and disturbance. The successful candidate will combine atmospheric CO₂ observations, Earth Observation products, and numerical models to quantify how the global forest carbon sink varies across continents and over time. The work focuses on integrating multiple data streams into an existing prototype modelling framework and extending its data assimilation capacity so it can use large Earth Observatio...

This fully funded PhD project examines how the European Union’s drive for digital autonomy is reshaping labour markets and labour migration policy across Europe. Hosted by Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, the position sits in the Department of Political Science and Public Administration within the Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities. The project is part of the ERC Starting Grant Migrant Labor in EU’s Pivot to Digital Autonomy , led by Dr. Julia Rone . It explores how the governance of labour ...

This PhD project at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) investigates efficient online optimization for time-varying systems, with a focus on safe and adaptive learning control. The research addresses a key challenge in learning-based control: how to learn a model while still guaranteeing safety, especially when the optimal decision changes over time. The project aims to develop computationally efficient methods for safe learning in time-varying optimal control problems. A central research ...

This postdoctoral project at Delft University of Technology focuses on the hydrodynamic and morphodynamic recovery of a newly created offshore sand extraction pit in the Dutch North Sea. The work is part of the multidisciplinary BACI Sand Extraction programme, which uses a Before-After-Control-Impact approach to understand the physical and ecological effects of sand extraction over timescales from individual storms to multiple years. The selected postdoc will work with unique field observations ...

This PhD project investigates backward erosion piping (BEP) , a process that can undermine dikes when seepage flows erode sand beneath them. The research is part of the NWO-funded Digital Dikes consortium and is designed to improve how BEP progression and severity are understood and predicted. You will work on experimental and physical modelling of BEP, developing new test setups and integrating novel measurement techniques to study mechanisms that remain poorly understood. A key focus is the 3D...

This PhD project at Amsterdam UMC focuses on improving glucose regulation for women with type 1 diabetes during the menopausal transition. The research is part of the DAME-APersonal project and brings together clinical research, data analysis, and technology development to create a more personalized approach to diabetes care for this group. You will investigate how menopause-related factors, such as hot flushes and changes in heart rate, affect glucose levels in women with and without diabetes. ...
