Postdoc Opportunities in Archaeology in Netherlands

This postdoc at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) focuses on developing AI-enabled robotic systems for responsible human-robot collaboration in the EU-funded OPERA project. The work addresses how autonomous robots in human-centered environments can move beyond immediate sensor response to estimate uncertainty, adapt to human preferences and values, explain their decisions, and act safely and reliably in changing conditions. The project investigates meaningful human control in human-robot...

The Royal Netherlands Institute in Rome (KNIR) offers funded research stays in Rome for students and early-career researchers whose projects benefit from access to the city’s libraries, archives, museums, and broader scholarly environment. The stay is designed to support work connected to Italian culture, history, and archaeology, with accommodation inside the institute and access to its academic life. Selected participants stay in KNIR for either 7 or 10 weeks depending on the category of appli...

This postdoctoral project at Delft University of Technology focuses on understanding and reducing the impact of CO2 hydrate formation on injectivity decline in CO2 injection wells. The research will quantify how hydrate formation affects injectivity and will develop chemical-based strategies both to prevent hydrate formation and to restore injectivity after decline has occurred. The work centers on testing promising mitigation and prevention solutions, including the injection of chemicals to dis...

Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam is recruiting a postdoctoral researcher for the NWO-funded project “Unraveling the geometry of subduction-induced mantle flow.” The project investigates how subduction drives mantle flow and how the experimental subduction rate and mantle viscosity influence the resulting mantle velocity field. The postdoc will develop, record and analyse laboratory-based experimental geodynamic models of subduction. The research will involve low-Reynolds-number fluid dynamics and de...

This postdoctoral project is part of COLFIN: Colonial Financial Infrastructures , a research project led by Marieke de Goede at the University of Amsterdam . The postdoc will join a team examining how colonial histories shaped modern financial infrastructures, with a specific focus on the development of credit and securitization . The successful candidate will develop an independent line of research on an aspect of early modern colonial finance and relate it to postcolonial political economies. ...

This postdoctoral project at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam focuses on experimental geodynamic modelling of subduction and subduction-induced mantle flow. The work sits within an NWO-funded project titled “Unraveling the geometry of subduction-induced mantle flow” and is embedded in the Geodynamics and Tectonics research group. The successful candidate will develop, run, record, and analyse laboratory-based models of subduction to investigate how experimental subduction rate and mantle viscosity s...

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 ...

Erasmus University Rotterdam is recruiting a two-year postdoctoral researcher to join the Department of People & Organisations at Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University. The project is situated in the context of fieldwork with the Social Innovation Academy (SINA). The postdoctoral researcher will develop an individual research agenda in collaboration with Bex Hewett and co-create a research project aligned with the researcher’s expertise and interests. The work is intended to produce...

University of Twente is recruiting a Postdoctoral Researcher for a project on integrating In-Well Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) with seismological stations for offshore near-real-time monitoring . The work sits at the intersection of Earth science, seismology, geophysics, signal processing, machine learning, and geospatial data science . The project aims to transform existing in-well fiber-optic DAS cables into dense seismic sensing arrays and combine them with offshore seismological statio...
