    PhD position in health effects from the exposure to pesticides

    Utrecht University

    Utrecht, NetherlandsDeadline 25 Oct 2026

    This PhD position will advance our knowledge regarding environmental pesticide exposure and cognition in children. The project does two things: It analyses biomonitoring data of pesticide exposure with tests of brain function of the children. It also examines the full Dutch population to understand risks of pesticide exposure to cognitive development and school functioning in children. Childhood cognitive development shapes health and success later in life, understanding how environmental risk factors alter children's brain function, learning and behaviour matters well beyond childhood.

    PhD position on explainable DeepFake detection using Foundation models

    University of Twente

    Enschede, NetherlandsDeadline 25 Oct 2026

    The challenge: In the past decades, photographs and videos of events were regarded as reliable evidence for both news media and forensic investigations. However, recent developments in AI technology now make it possible, with minimal technological knowledge or skills, to create extremely convincing manipulated or synthesised images, audio and video data, often called DeepFakes.

    PhD Position: CO2 Desublimation for Cryogenic Carbon Capture

    University of Twente

    Enschede, NetherlandsDeadline 25 Oct 2026

    Carbon capture will play an important role in reducing CO₂ emissions from sectors such as power generation, steel production and cement manufacturing. One promising route is cryogenic carbon capture, in which CO₂ is cooled to very low temperatures and turns directly from gas into solid. This gas-to-solid phase change is called desublimation.

    PhD in High-Frequency Transformer Design and Partial Discharge Modeling for Data Centers

    Eindhoven University of Technology

    Eindhoven, NetherlandsDeadline 25 Oct 2026

    Worldwide, we consume vast amounts of electricity, with data centers and compute currently accounting for more than 2% of global consumption. This share is growing exponentially year-over-year. Within a decade, compute could consume as much as 10%. Are you on board with us to embrace the challenge of designing next-generation power transformers for AI data centers? Are you our next PhD candidate to work on enablers of future compute — the high-frequency transformers?
