PhD Opportunities in Education

The Laboratory for Intelligence in Design Engineering and Learning (IDEAL) at ETH Zurich invites applications for one to two doctoral positions in Machine Learning for Engineering Design , under the guidance of Professor Mark Fuge, Chair of Artificial Intelligence in Engineering Design. The laboratory studies artificial intelligence and machine learning in engineering design, with applications spanning healthcare, power generation, aerospace, and robotics. This is a general search rather than a ...

The IT University of Copenhagen invites applications for a three-year PhD project on Constructive Alignment for Software Engineering Education and AI . The project is part of PREPARE – Pedagogical Alignment for Responsible AI in Software Engineering Education, a joint ITU–University of Southern Denmark initiative funded by the Novo Nordisk Foundation. Based at ITU’s Center for Computing Education Research (CCER) , the PhD project examines how university Software Development and Software Engineer...

This PhD project develops fair, scalable and reliable methods for controlling large-scale networked systems, with the electricity distribution grid as its main application. Thousands of solar panels, heat pumps and electric vehicles increasingly compete for limited network capacity, creating a need for transparent and equitable congestion management. The research will formalize fairness concepts such as proportional, max-min and probabilistic fairness as mathematical objectives or constraints in...

Eindhoven University of Technology is seeking a PhD candidate for a primarily theoretical project on efficient online optimization in large-scale, distributed and safety-critical systems. The research will combine safe Bayesian optimization, online learning and distributed estimation to enable systems with changing objectives and constraints to learn and optimize while operating. The candidate will develop adaptive sampling strategies that track moving optima, distributed learning and optimizati...

The Department of Economics at Simon Fraser University is accepting applications to its PhD program in economics. The program is designed for doctoral students who want to develop advanced expertise in economics and pursue research-oriented careers. The department highlights the career outcomes of its recent graduates, who are working in academia and industry around the world. Prospective applicants can learn more about the program through an information session hosted by Graduate Chair Kevin Sc...

Case Western Reserve University’s Case School of Engineering is hosting a virtual information session for prospective students interested in MS and PhD study in Materials Science and Engineering . The session will introduce the Department of Materials Science and Engineering and its graduate programs, including available research opportunities. Prospective students can learn more about pursuing advanced study in materials science, the department’s research environment, and the ways graduate stud...

This 36-month PhD project at the University of St Andrews investigates how atmospheric circulation responds to global warming and how those responses affect regional climate and weather extremes. The research will use a hierarchy of numerical climate simulations to study circulation across multiple scales, from global jet streams to regional thunderstorm systems. By analyzing multi-member ensembles and prescribed sea-surface-temperature experiments, the project will distinguish rapid adjustments...

Eindhoven University of Technology is seeking a motivated PhD candidate in science education through the NWO Mozaïek 3.0 programme. The opportunity is suited to doctoral research examining how science is taught and learned, with potential directions including sustainability education, gender inclusivity, intersectionality, socio-scientific issues and related themes. The prospective researcher may develop a project focused on inclusive teaching and learning, the role of sustainability in science ...

The Basque Center on Cognition, Brain and Language (BCBL) is recruiting a PhD researcher to join Nicola Molinaro’s Brain Rhythms and Cognition group in Donostia–San Sebastián, Spain. The PRO-LISTEN project examines how the adult brain adapts to learning and understanding an additional language. The research focuses on Spanish and Basque and uses naturalistic speech, longitudinal magnetoencephalography (MEG) recordings and computational modelling to investigate language-related brain dynamics ove...
