1. Fully Funded PhD Position in urban greening and health, Marie Skłodwska-Curie Actions
Summary of PhD Program:
The project will focus on the study of the relationships between objective health data and green area availability where people live, and on the health benefits that can be expected by greening residential neighbourhoods, to identify what type of nature reduces stress best in real-life settings. The goals of the project are to study the extent to which socioeconomic health disparities may be reduced by making optimal use of the stress-reducing qualities of contact with nature, and to study which types of nature are most effective in this regard for people with a low socioeconomic status.
Application Deadline: 5 June 2023

2. Fully Funded PhD Position in Reverse Stress testing
Summary of PhD Program:
In the proposed research project, we aim to develop a reverse approach to tackling supply chain risks. This approach starts from the conditions under which a supply chain functions well, instead of the supply chain risks themselves. This approach is inspired by risk analysis approaches in the financial world that became common practice after the 2008 financial crisis. In this project, you will further outline and detail this approach using quantitative models and methods. You will collaborate with a variety of food companies that the ORL group has strong ties with, including food processing and retail.
Application Deadline: 31 May 2023

3. 02 Fully Funded PhD Position in Future Food Ingredients Design
Summary of PhD Program:
Food Quality and Design group of Wageningen University and Research (FQD, WUR) offers two PhD positions in Future food ingredients design to talented food technologists with an interest in advancing the field of novel food sources. As a PhD candidate, you will contribute to the development and optimization of postharvest processing of novel food sources by different technologies, and will make an impact on the future of food production. You will work with various new materials sourced from cellular agriculture, precision fermentation, edible insects, yeast, and mycelium to process and design novel food ingredients using such techniques as extrusion, aerogels, oleogels, scaffolds.

4. Fully Funded PhD Position in Microalgae Biotechnology
Summary of PhD Program:
In light of a joint research initiative “Let’s go VirAL” of the Laboratory of Virology and Bioprocess Engineering we are searching for a suitable candidate for a PhD project. This project aims to unravel the life cycle of a recently isolated DNA virus that infects microalgae, to enable development of a virus-based production platform in microalgae, which is also part of the aim of this project. A combined -omics and biochemical approach will be implemented to elucidate the virus life cycle at a molecular level during the course of infection and to identify and characterize the role of viral genes; this systematic study of virus infection in relation to host fitness will be carried out in small scale photobioreactors.
The PhD candidate will develop knowledge and expertise in the field of genetics, biochemistry, virology and microalgae biotechnology. Experience with microalgae physiology and/or virological research is highly recommended, and additional expertise in bioinformatics and large data-set analysis, software (R) programming and statistical analysis preferred.
Application Deadline: Open until filled

5. Fully Funded PhD Position in Soft and Biodegradable Sensor Technology
Summary of PhD Program:
As a PhD student in Soft and Biodegradable Sensor Technology, you will contribute to the “4TU Green Sensors project”. This project is a complementary and multidisciplinary collaboration among the four Dutch universities of technology (Delft University of Technology – TU Delft, Eindhoven University of Technology – TU/e, University of Twente – UT, and Wageningen University & Research – WUR). Supporting a more digitalized and sustainable agriculture, the project aims to develop a biodegradable soil sensor network to be used to sustainably manage or control agri-food production. Mutual collaborations among researchers are central to this project.

6. Fully Funded PhD Position in Nitrous oxide emissions from agricultural soils
Summary of PhD Program:
Agricultural soils are the major source of the potent greenhouse gas nitrous oxide (N2O). There is clear potential to reduce N2O emissions by adapting nitrogen inputs and soil management. More insight is needed in the interplay of environmental, soil biological, and management factors that drive N2O emissions. You will assess mitigation strategies in field and lab experiments, including practices related to nitrogen management across various agricultural systems and soil types. You will have the opportunity to use state-of-the-art equipment and methodologies (such as isotopic labelling techniques, field gas analysers) to quantify N2O and related soil chemical and biological parameters. The results that you produce in this project will aid to a better scientific underpinning of national emission calculations and to the development of strategies to mitigate N2O emissions.
Application Deadline: Open until filled

7. Fully Funded PhD Position in biodiversity modelling
Summary of PhD Program:
In this project you will investigate how satellite data from various sources in combination with spatial models and machine learning can be used to measure biodiversity. Biodiversity is complex, yet it is essential that measurable biodiversity indicators are developed that can be analysed with satellite data across a wide range of ecosystems including in the tropics. These indicators are essential to support, for instance, biodiversity monitoring efforts, ecosystem accounting, and the monitoring and verification of biodiversity impacts of ESG investments.
