Meta XR 3D GenAI is seeking PhD research interns to contribute to research at the intersection of large language models, 3D generative AI, and agentic reinforcement learning . The internship is connected to Meta’s XR-focused 3D GenAI work and is intended for researchers interested in advancing intelligent systems for three-dimensional content and interactive experiences. Potential research directions include combining language-based reasoning with 3D generation, developing agentic methods that c...

The University of California, Berkeley offers an interdisciplinary PhD program in Buddhist Studies through the Buddhist Studies Graduate Group. The program examines Buddhism in its many forms within Asian historical and cultural contexts. Students engage closely with Buddhist texts in their original languages while developing an understanding of the historical, social, and cultural environments in which the Buddhist textual tradition developed. The program also encourages students to broaden the...

ETH Zurich’s Laboratory for High Power Electronic Systems (HPE) is seeking a doctoral candidate for research on advanced magnetic concepts for future high-power grid interfaces. The project addresses the magnetic devices—such as inductors, transformers and filters—that are essential for filtering and protection in high-power electrical systems and that strongly influence power density and efficiency. The research will focus on bidirectional grid interfaces and active rectifiers connecting the AC...

The Department of Art History at the University of Vienna is recruiting a predoctoral scientific project assistant for the FWF project “A Third Art History? All-Women Exhibitions as Art-Historiographical Interventions.” Led by Ass.-Prof. Dr. Maria Bremer, the project examines all-women exhibitions as sites of feminist art-historical knowledge production. The research addresses how exhibitions organized during and around second-wave feminism challenged male-dominated frameworks in universities an...

The project is based in the Brussels Photonics Team (B-PHOT) at the Faculty of Engineering , Department Applied Physics and Photonics , at Vrije Universiteit Brussel in Brussels. The PhD candidate will work on developing an integrated sensor and analytical workflow for studying applied glass technologies in historic stained-glass windows, with a focus on uncorroded materials. The research combines non-destructive spectroscopic techniques to support the characterization of bulk glass , glass stai...
