Do you have a Master’s degree and are looking for fully funded PhD opportunities? University of Groningen, Netherlands is now accepting applications for several funded PhD programs across a range of research areas.
1. Fully Funded PhD in Highly efficient and stable Sn halide PSK-based indoor photovoltaics
Summary of Funded PhD Program
The main tasks will comprise the preparation of thin-film of Sn-based PSK with band gap around 2eV in glovebox via solution-processing methods; characterization of the films (e.g., structure, morphology, surface), fabrication of small-scale photovoltaics and their characterization of their performance and stability.
Application Deadline: 16 December 2024

2. Fully Funded PhD in exoplanet astronomy and galaxy formation and evolution
Summary of Funded PhD Program
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has revolutionised the field of exoplanets by allowing us to probe their atmospheres in great detail. In parallel, ESA is preparing the Ariel Space Telescope (launch in 2029), a dedicated exoplanet mission to study 1000s of atmospheres. Current interpretation strategies, however, are often not sufficient due to the much higher information that can be extracted from the data and the number of targets being observed. In this project, the PhD candidate will focus on the study of exoplanet observations with JWST, and help in the preparation of interpretation tools for the Ariel mission.
Application Deadline: 3 December 2024
3. Fully Funded PhD in Electrocatalysis for Solid Oxide Cells towards Energy Conversion and Storage
Summary of Funded PhD Program
In the Engineering and Technology Institute Groningen (ENTEG), we are looking for a talented and motivated PhD student for the development and evaluation of electrocatalysts’ performance and degradation in Solid Oxide Electrolysis Cells (SOECs). SOECs represent the most efficient device for the electrochemical production of green hydrogen, which renders these electrochemical systems promising candidates for renewable energy storage. One of the main challenges is, however, to substantially increase the efficiency and stability of the existing processes through the development of electrocatalytically active and durable materials for electrodes, as well as to deeply understand the pathways of the involved reactions.
Application Deadline: 29 November 2024

4. Fully Funded PhD in Behavioural Neuroscience
Summary of Funded PhD Program
Our intricate social brain is implicated in a range of brain disorders, where social dysfunction emerges as a common neuropsychiatric feature cutting across diagnostic boundaries in anxiety disorders, major depressive disorders, Alzheimer’s disease and Schizophrenia. Understanding the underlying neurocircuitry mechanisms responsible for social dysfunction and exploring avenues for its restoration will present a transformative and transdiagnostic approach to overcoming therapeutic challenges in these disorders. Based on our earlier clinical and preclinical findings from the PRISM funded EU project, we have shown that the brain’s default mode network (DMN) plays a crucial role in social functioning and is implicated in various neuropsychiatric conditions, including Alzheimer’s disease and schizophrenia.
Application Deadline: 29 November 2024
5. Fully Funded PhD in Self-assembling polyolefin network materials from polymer waste
Summary of Funded PhD Program
In this PhD project we propose a conceptionally novel approach for converting polyolefin waste into high added value materials by producing self-assembling polyolefin network materials, well-recyclable polyolefinic materials with versatile and tunable properties that potentially even outperform existing polyolefins. The idea is based on the finding that polar functional groups in functionalized polyolefins self-assemble into polar domains in the apolar polyolefin matrix, providing significant mechanical strength to the system,[1,2] and an improved adhesion to polar substrates. The broad project scope entails polymer synthesis, material science and application testing.

6. Fully Funded PhD in Systems and Control
Summary of Funded PhD Program
A fully funded PhD position in the broad field of systems and control is available at the University of Groningen, the Netherlands. The specific subject of the project will be determined collaboratively with the selected candidate to ensure a good fit and to attract top talent. Possible topics include, but are not limited to, the following: systems and control theory, feedback optimization, distributed control, consensus protocols, nonlinear control, robust control, with application to energy systems (e.g. smart grids, district heating, hydrogen networks) and traffic networks.
