Technical University of Denmark
Are you interested in atomically thin materials and curious about how twisting and stacking them can create unconventional photovoltaic effects that emerge without conventional p–n junctions? Do you want to develop expertise at the intersection of 2D materials, nonlinear optics, nanofabrication, and photovoltaic device physics?

Glutamatergic synapses are critical for synaptic plasticity and memory formation. The composition of their receptors can modulate resilience and sensitivity to memory deficits, in particular those induced by amyloid beta (Aβ), a major hallmark of Alzheimer’s Disease. In this project you will investigate whether and how modifying the composition of glutamatergic receptors at synapses, using both molecular tools and behavioral interventions, can reduce age-related cognitive decline in and thereby enhance resilience to AD pathology. In addition, you will study the role of engram cell ensembles in

Delft University of Technology
Join TU Delft and help design hydrogen-resistant steels for a sustainable energy future. As a PhD researcher, you will unravel the atomic-scale mechanisms of hydrogen embrittlement in compositionally complex recycled steels, using density functional theory and machine-learned interatomic potentials, in close collaboration with leading academic partners and Tata Steel.

Utrecht University
In Huntington’s Disease (HD), expansion of CAG repeats in the huntingtin (HTT) gene leads to a toxic gain-of-function that ultimately results in fatal neurodegeneration. HD research has long focused on the toxic effects of the HTT-encoded polyglutamine protein that aggregates in neurons. However, recent discoveries reveal that the HTT mRNA itself forms condensates and aggregates, contributing to neuronal toxicity. In this project, your work will help define the origins of RNA toxicity in HD - a critical step toward developing therapies.
