Delft University of Technology is offering a PhD position focused on the experimental development of a novel Solvothermal Liquefaction (STL) process to upcycle waste into high-value, sustainable, and circular biomaterials. This opportunity is part of the national NWA-ORC project ABEL, a multidisciplinary consortium involving industry, academia, policymakers, and societal partners, aiming to address the challenge of creating sustainable biomaterials from waste for the Dutch economy. The successfu...

Utrecht University is offering a PhD position on the Delta Climate Center (DCC)-funded project ‘Delta Values’, focusing on the intersection of climate adaptation, human-landscape interaction, and social sciences. The project is based in Zeeland, a region with a rich history of living with environmental hazards such as floods and droughts, now facing increased risks due to climate change, sea level rise, and salinisation. The research aims to understand how residents of Zeeland have historically ...

The University of Twente invites applications for a fully funded PhD position as part of the JUST ART project, focusing on 'ReStor(y)ing (Un)just Land-Water Relationships Through Art-activism.' This interdisciplinary research opportunity aims to develop a 'rurban' lens to examine rural-urban (dis)connections in land-water relationships, with case studies in regions such as Twente and Aruba, both of which have experienced water scarcity. The project leverages environmental art-activism to 're-sto...
