Academic Positions

PhD Position – Numerical simulation of bijel formation, stability and rheology

by

This computational doctoral project focuses on a theoretical understanding of emulsions stabilized by colloidal particles. Mesoscale simulation methods combining a lattice Boltzmann solver for the involved fluids and a Discrete Element solver for the suspended colloidal particles shall be developed and applied on state-of-the-art supercomputers. These simulations will be combined with systematic coarse-graining in order … Read more

PhD Position – Simulation and modelling of interfacial degradation and materials compatibility in sodium-ion batteries

by

At the Institute of Energy Technologies – Theory and Computation of Energy Materials (IET-3) at Forschungszentrum Jülich, Germany, we are currently seeking a highly motivated young researcher to contribute to the development of next-generation battery technologies. Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) are on the verge of commercialization. As a great advantage over, e.g., lithium-ion batteries, SIBs do … Read more

PhD Urban greening for both societal and natural stakeholders

by

Cities are expanding everywhere, offering challenges (traffic, pollution) but also opportunities (habitat, food, shelter) to wild plants and animals. Recent research has revealed astonishing biological dynamics, leading to rapid change of some species in the urban ecosystem. But while academic and societal interest in urban green spaces – which are considered to provide vital ecological, … Read more

PhDs in Perception-action in BCIs, robotic planning, adaptive visualization

by

In this interdisciplinary project, we create models of the world, conduct visual data analysis to understand them better, and use machine learning models to yield optimized Brain-computer interfaces (BCI), visualization representations and interfaces, as well as robotic task planning. This overarching research direction is split into two PhD project topics. PhD Project 1: Context-specific Grasping … Read more

We are offering a 38-month Postdoc position (0.8 FTE) within the project “Migrant generations in the digital society: a multi-level study of socio-cultural factors influencing digital inclusion”. The DigiMig project is funded by the Dutch Research Council (NWO) with a five-year Vidi grant (Principal Investigator: Dr Çigdem Bozdag). The project aims to analyze the socio-cultural … Read more

PhD position Multiscale modelling of hydrogen-induced fatigue in steels 

by

For the HyTROS project awarded by the Dutch Research Council (NWO) on hydrogen transport, offshore and storage, a PhD position for the period is available in the context of modelling hydrogen embrittlement of pipeline steels. In this project, the University of Groningen, in collaboration with TU Delft, will unravel the fundamental origin of hydrogen-induced fatigue … Read more

PhD position in Biophysics

by

The Heinemann Lab at the University of Groningen (Netherlands) aims to understand how cellular metabolism functions and how metabolism controls other cellular processes. The lab has recently found that cellular metabolism does not operate beyond a certain Gibbs energy dissipation rate (Niebel et al, 2019, Nature Metabolism). This observation could explain why cancer cells use … Read more
