Do you have a Master’s degree and are looking for fully funded PhD opportunities? Radboud University, Nijmegen, Netherlands is now accepting applications for several funded PhD programs across a range of research areas.
1. Fully Funded PhD in Open Source MRI Sequence Development for Robust and Efficient Myelin Water Imaging
Summary of Funded PhD Program
The title of the funding project says it all: ’Quantitative Imaging that (white) Matters: taking biophysical modelling to clinical applications’. This research initiative aims to improve myelin water imaging (MWI) in the context of neurodegenerative, neuro-inflammatory and neurovascular diseases. As a PhD candidate, you will contribute to the development of fast, robust and clinically applicable MRI sequences for multi-compartment relaxometry using open-source, platform-agnostic language. These sequences will give us the right data to better decode brain tissue properties, using biophysical modelling.
Application Deadline: 29 January 2025

2. Fully Funded PhD in Computational Cognitive Neuroscience – Multisensory Perceptual Inference, Learning and Attention
Summary of Funded PhD Program
Are you fascinated by how the brain makes sense of the senses in a complex, dynamic, multisensory world? Curious about how it forms perceptual decisions under uncertainty? How it flexibly binds information from multiple senses and adapts to ever-changing environments? Join our multidisciplinary team to study the computations and neural mechanisms underlying some of the brain’s most fundamental challenges: perceptual inference and decision making, learning, attention and probabilistic/statistical computation.
Application Deadline: 23 December 2024
3. Fully Funded PhD in Putting Explainable AI to Work to Support Cultural Heritage
Summary of Funded PhD Program
Metadata is data about data. It plays a key role in allowing people to access and use the information in libraries and archive catalogues. Despite recent technical advances of AI for interpreting text and images, the generation of metadata for large collections of historical books, images, and texts remains an unsolved problem. In this project, we work together with the KB National Library of the Netherlands in order to put explainable AI to use in libraries.

4. Fully Funded PhD in AI-assisted Physical Attacks on PQC Implementations
Summary of Funded PhD Program
This project investigates how to efficiently evaluate the resistance of post-quantum cryptographic implementations to physical attacks. The increased key sizes and more complex mathematical principles of PQC, in combination with countermeasures to side-channel analysis (SCA) attacks, significantly increase the data and computational complexity to analyse an implementation and evaluate side-channel leakage and fault tolerance. The project will exploit similarities and connections between side-channel analysis and genomics to develop novel methods and computational approaches for future-proof SCA techniques.
Application Deadline: 14 January 2025
5. Fully Funded PhD in Multimodal Signalling and Processing in Face-to-face Communication at the Donders Centre for Cognition
Summary of Funded PhD Program
You will work on a collaborative project using corpus analyses to investigate how participants in conversational interaction make their intentions clear through visual signals (using the face, head, gaze and/or hands) in conjunction with linguistic structures and prosody. The project also investigates how the contribution of visual signals, words and prosody are processed during comprehension (using experimental behavioural and EEG paradigms, including interactive settings). You will be involved in both the corpus and the experimental work.

6. Fully Funded PhD in Biomolecular Condensates in Synthetic Cells
Summary of Funded PhD Program
Synthetic cells hold great promise in the development of innovative therapeutic strategies. However, molecular payloads synthesised inside synthetic cells must be secreted and new molecular building blocks or drugs must be delivered to synthetic cells in a smart and programmable way. Condensates have recently been shown to interact with membranes in a rich and dynamic way, including the possibility of entering giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) via endocytosis.
