University of Amsterdam · Netherlands
The University of Amsterdam invites applications for a PhD candidate in access, actors and accountability, studying the role of researchers in AI governance. The project examines how knowledge produced by researchers enters AI governance processes, which actors gain access to regulatory arenas, and how accountability arrangements shape whose expertise counts when AI systems are governed.
Eindhoven University of Technology · Netherlands
Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) invites applications for a PhD position on the acoustic performance of timber structure connections, within the QUIET-ARC project. Timber construction is expanding rapidly as a low-carbon alternative to concrete and steel, but the acoustic behaviour of timber connections - where beams, panels and floors meet - remains hard to predict, limiting both comfort and code compliance.
Eindhoven University of Technology · Netherlands
Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) invites applications for a PhD position on advanced epitaxial growth for indium-phosphide (InP) based photonic integrated circuits. The doctoral project works with a state-of-the-art Aixtron epitaxy reactor to grow InP, InGaAsP and InAlGaAs heterostructures that form the active building blocks of integrated photonic devices.
TU Delft is recruiting a doctoral researcher to coordinate AI agents managing radio, transport, computing and service resources in future 6G networks. The position belongs to the Future Network Services programme. Applicants can apply without IELTS - selection is based on documents and an English interview, not a test certificate.

This dual-award PhD project will investigate how environmental factors influence the evolution of antimicrobial resistance across Manchester and Peking University.
Utrecht University · Netherlands
Utrecht University invites applications for a PhD position in art-science-action integration and challenge-based sustainability education. The project studies how creative and artistic practices can be integrated with scientific learning and real-world action in sustainability education, and how such integration changes students' engagement with complex environmental problems.
The Department of Meteorology at Stockholm University invites applications for a PhD student position in atmospheric sciences and oceanography, focused on aerosol-cloud-climate interactions. The project studies how atmospheric particles influence cloud properties and, through them, the climate system - one of the largest sources of uncertainty in climate projection.
The Department of Meteorology at Stockholm University invites applications for a PhD student position in atmospheric sciences and oceanography, focused on clouds in the atmospheric boundary layer. Boundary-layer clouds regulate the exchange of energy and moisture between the surface and the free atmosphere, and their behaviour is central to weather and climate prediction.
