PhD Opportunities in Pharmacy in Netherlands

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. ...

Nature4Homes is a multidisciplinary PhD project at Radboudumc focused on how climate-adaptive, nature-inspired housing interventions can help reduce heat stress and improve health. The project sits at the intersection of climate change, the built environment, human thermophysiology, and residential health. The PhD candidate will work within the Department of Medical BioSciences , in the Human Physiology section, on the physiological and perceptual evaluation of interventions developed by the con...

This PhD project at Maastricht University focuses on how cell–matrix interactions can be controlled using dynamic supramolecular hydrogels . The work sits at the interface of biomaterials, mechanobiology, cell biology, and polymer chemistry, with the goal of understanding how cells sense and respond to hydrogel properties such as molecular organization, stiffness, stress relaxation, ligand presentation, and dynamic reinforcement. You will join the BioMatt group within MERLN’s Department of Instr...

PhD research at Radboudumc will focus on AI-driven handheld ultrasound for military trauma care. The project asks how artificial intelligence can make portable ultrasound more accessible and effective in challenging operational settings, where medical resources, specialist expertise, and evacuation options may be limited. You will work on the development and evaluation of AI methods for medical imaging, with a particular emphasis on ultrasound-based rapid diagnostics. A key starting point is EFA...

At Delft University of Technology, this PhD project explores how nanoparticles move through human tissue and how their properties change along the way. The position sits in the SYNERGIE project, a Horizon Europe consortium focused on nanoparticle transport in human tissue and the safety and design of particles used in environmental and biomedical settings. You will work in the research group of Dr. Sepinoud Azimi and contribute to the in silico work package led by TU Delft. The project is built ...

This PhD project at Radboud University Medical Center focuses on multiple system atrophy (MSA) , a rare and serious brain disorder that often resembles Parkinson’s disease but progresses more rapidly. The position combines two connected research tracks aimed at improving care for people with MSA and the professionals who diagnose and study it. In the first track, the project develops an AI-supported pathway for MSA knowledge sharing and education . Because most neurologists see MSA only rarely, ...

This PhD project explores how baculoviruses manipulate caterpillar behaviour and how that manipulation is shaped by the broader viral context of the host. The work starts with comparing behavioural effects across closely and more distantly related baculoviruses and lepidopteran hosts, then moves to testing how the insect virome influences those outcomes. The project asks fundamental questions about parasite-host interactions and the concept of the extended phenotype, with a particular emphasis o...

This PhD position is part of the Cerebrovasculaire Ziekten research line in the Department of Neurology & Neurosurgery at UMC Utrecht . The project sits at the interface of neurology and radiology and focuses on innovative imaging of atherosclerosis in the carotid arteries. The research aims to determine how inflammation caused by atherosclerosis can best be visualised with imaging. A key goal is to generate new insights that may support the clinical implementation of a new imaging marker for id...

This PhD project at Maastricht University and Maastricht UMC+ explores how the smallest blood vessels in the brain contribute to dementia and the clearance of harmful waste products from brain tissue. The work is part of the MODEM consortium, which studies the biological mechanisms underlying the onset and progression of dementia. You will investigate the neurovascular unit, with a particular focus on how capillaries interact with surrounding brain tissue and how microvascular function may relat...
