    PhD in Advanced Epitaxial Growth for InP-Based Photonic Integrated Circuits

    Eindhoven University of Technology

    Eindhoven, NetherlandsDeadline 10 Nov 2026

    Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs) are used more and more used to overcome data bottlenecks, offering massive improvements in energy efficiency and bandwidth and opening up new applications. They are critical to the scaling of modern data centers, telecommunications networks, and advanced sensing applications in healthcare, mobility, and agrifood. This PhD position is focusing on the foundation of the PIC: the epitaxial growth of the functional materials. These can be engineered to e.g. emit or amplify light, transport light on the chip of efficiently modulate the phase of the light. The proj

    PhD in Spatiotemporal Light Generation with Frequency-Gradient Metasurfaces

    Eindhoven University of Technology

    Eindhoven, NetherlandsDeadline 10 Nov 2026

    How can we control light in space, time, and frequency to make photonic systems faster, more compact, and more versatile? In this PhD project, you will develop frequency-gradient metasurfaces for ultrafast beam steering, temporal focusing, and self-torque, combining design, nanofabrication, and femtosecond experiments. Job Description Current photonic components can shape light with remarkable spatial precision, but controlling its spatial, spectral, and temporal structure simultaneously remains far more difficult. This limits how fast, compact, and versatile optical systems can become. In thi

    PhD in Dynamic Space–Time Interfaces for High-Speed THz Beam Control

    Eindhoven University of Technology

    Eindhoven, NetherlandsDeadline 10 Nov 2026

    What new physics emerges when a THz interface changes on the timescale of the wave itself? In this PhD project, you will develop dynamically modulated THz interfaces and explore frequency conversion, beam steering, and nonreciprocal propagation through electromagnetic design, device development, and THz experiments. Job Description The sub-THz regime is emerging as an important platform for future wireless communication, radar, and sensing, but controlling these waves dynamically remains a major challenge. Current interfaces can shape a THz wave in space, or tune their response in time, but do

    PhD scholarship in Coastal Engineering (Wave-Vegetation Interaction) - DTU Construct

    Technical University of Denmark

    Kongens Lyngby, DenmarkDeadline 10 Nov 2026

    How can coastal vegetation help protect our coastlines from waves and flooding? Understanding how waves interact with vegetation is key to exploring its potential for coastal protection and climate adaptation. Are you interested in combining fluid mechanics, mathematical analysis and numerical modelling to help answer this question.

    PhD Position in Political Science

    University of Amsterdam

    Amsterdam, NetherlandsDeadline 11 Nov 2026

    Democracies are commonly seen as able to channel contestation through institutionalized processes and nonviolent action. Yet, democratic polities frequently experience a broad range of political violence — from riots and organized electoral intimidation to extremist mobilization and criminal violence — and violence can test and, at times, erode democratic norms and institutions. Moreover, democracies themselves may respond to perceived threats with measures (e.g., militarized policing, emergency legislation, selective repression) that threaten to undermine core features of liberal democracy su
