PhD Positions in Organizational Behavior, Adaptive Regulatory Frameworks, Systems & Control Theory, Climate Policy, Microfluidics, Neuroscience, and Neuromorphic Computing

The University of Groningen in the Netherlands offers multiple fully funded PhD positions across various research domains. These projects range from examining gender equality in leadership trajectories and adaptive regulatory frameworks for the hydrogen economy to developing energy-efficient neuromorphic computing and investigating neural population activity in freely behaving mice. Each position involves cutting-edge research, interdisciplinary collaboration, and the opportunity to contribute to advancements in their respective fields. Applicants are expected to have a strong academic background and a passion for innovative research.

• Conduct research on gender equality and leadership trajectories, focusing on career paths and exits of senior leaders.
• Develop and test theoretical frameworks for adaptive regulatory frameworks in the hydrogen economy through empirical research and interviews.
• Develop novel system-theoretic frameworks for learning in analog circuits and neuromorphic computing.
• Investigate psychological and sociological factors influencing perceptions of fair climate policy and its acceptability.
• Use microfluidics to study growth, division, and evolution of coacervate droplets as synthetic cell-like systems.
• Record and analyze neural population activity in freely behaving mice using advanced imaging techniques.
• Design and implement hardware acceleration for energy-efficient AI systems using FPGA and neuromorphic computing techniques.
