PhD position Multi-scale modelling of precipitate strengthening

For the National Growth Fund (NGF) project “Groeien met Groen Staal” (GGS), a PhD position for the period of 4 years is available in the context of modelling green steel mechanics from the atomic scale. In this project, the University of Groningen will investigate micro-scale and atomic-scale processes of dislocation-precipitate interactions for multi-component alloy systems that are relevant for the new green steels compositions, where precipitates can occur due to impurities and tramp elements. The goal of the project is to devise a multi-scale framework where atomic-scale mechanisms of precipitate shearing/looping are incorporated into micro-scale framework of dislocation-precipitate interactions. This model will enable to predict precipitate strengthening as a function of the green steel composition.

The successful candidate will be supervised by prof. dr. Francesco Maresca, chair of the Mechanics of Materials unit of the Engineering and Technology institute Groningen (ENTEG).

PhD

PhD position in Bioelectronics for Precision Therapies

We are looking for a motivated student to fill a fully funded PhD position at the University of Groningen. The aim of this PhD project is to develop novel therapies for healthcare through the engineering of smart bioelectronic devices. Although interfacing electronics with biological systems has shown great promise for a wide variety of disorders, personalized therapies that adapt in real-time have not been established yet. The development of soft and flexible bioelectronic devices that use feedback of integrated biosensors and high-density microelectrode arrays will enable precision therapy to improve healthcare.

 

Background

Bioelectronic medicine, or therapies based on electronic devices, is currently witnessing an explosion of interest in both academia and industry. Inspired by clinical successes such as the cardiac pacemaker, cochlear implants, and deep brain stimulators, bioelectronic medicine has the potential to revolutionize healthcare because it offers local and targeted treatments with reduced side effects and improved outcomes. For these therapies to be effective and deliver personalized therapies, devices need to record and process relevant biological data and adapt therapeutic parameters real-time.

 

In this project, you will develop low-power biosensors and circuits that can record and processes biological signals. This will be used as real-time feedback to deliver targeted electric fields with high spatial resolution with optimized stimulation parameters for precise and safe modulation.

To improve the performance and integration of bioelectronic devices with biology, devices will be made of organic materials (polymers) to better match the mechanical properties of cells and tissue. This technology will be applied on rigid substrates for lab-on-chip applications as well as on flexible substrates for in vivo applications with a strong focus on reliability and stable performance to realize clinical translation.

Academiegebouw van de RuG in Groningen PhD

PhD position in biotechnological production of circular plastics

This PhD project integrates microbial electrochemical synthesis of fatty acids for the efficient and stable production of fit-for-purpose bioplastics. The world is becoming more polluted with plastics from fossil origin. Luckily, biologically produced and degradable alternatives from residual biomass are offering a solution. PHA, a polymer consisting of fatty acids, can replace conventional plastics. The current production process is not efficient enough, and the input biomass does not necessarily give the desired plastic product and properties. Microbial electrosynthesis offers the opportunity to produce fatty acids from CO2 and renewable electricity. E-plastic aims to integrate fatty acid electrosynthesis into the PHA production process.

PhD-student Netwerk-geïnformeerde behandeling bij complexe psychopathologie

Hoe kan de psychologische behandeling van complexe psychopathologie worden verbeterd? Dit PhD-project maakt deel uit van het multicenter onderzoeksconsortium New Science of Mental Disorders (NSMD) dat zich richt op de netwerk benadering van psychopathologie. Centraal doel van het huidige project is om te onderzoeken of de effectiviteit van reguliere psychotherapeutische behandeling van personen die voldoen aan meerdere diagnoses kan worden vergroot door de interventies af te stemmen op causale symptoom-netwerken die zijn gebaseerd op dagboek/EMA-gegevens van de individuele patiënten. Om de effectiviteit in kaart te brengen richt het project zich daarbij niet alleen op de afname van klachten maar ook op de toename van mentaal welbevinden. Daarnaast beoogt het project in kaart te brengen welke factoren kritisch zijn voor het onmiddellijke effect van de behandeling en voor het bereiken van meer duurzaam herstel van de mentale gezondheid met daarbij specifieke aandacht voor de rol van ervaren betekenis in het leven. Om een meer genuanceerd beeld te kunnen vormen van de factoren die betrokken zijn bij het ontstaan, het instandhouden en het weer (duurzaam) herstellen van mentale klachten maakt het project ook gebruik van causale netwerk-analyses op basis van reeds beschikbare gegevens van de Netherlands Study of Depression and Anxiety (NESDA). Voor het patiënt-gebonden onderdeel van dit project zal worden samengewerkt met het Traumacentrum van GGZ-Drenthe en met Psychiatrie Noord.

Junior researcher

Research Associate or Postdoc (Researcher) - Human-AI symbiosis in manufacturing work environments

SkillAIbility, AI, and the Future of Work in Manufacturing

Artificial Intelligence is transforming jobs in profound ways. In contrast with earlier technology-driven transformations, where physical automation was among the key drivers, AI increasingly impacts cognitively rich tasks. The risk of job losses and human roles being replaced by AI are a subject of intense interest, including fear. At the same time, the significant opportunities for the creation of new roles for humans to operate in synergy with AI, and especially in manufacturing, are not sufficiently appreciated by organisations and individuals.

The University of Groningen is offering a post-doctoral research position on Human-AI symbiosis in manufacturing work environments. The position is linked to the Horizon Europe project SkillAIbility (https://skillaibility.eu – Co-designing human centric pathways for future skills in manufacturing through augmented, empowered, inclusive, and symbiotic complementarities between AI, automation and human task). The project aims to create human-centric pathways to future Human-Centred Artificial Intelligence (HCAI) skills and jobs in the digital transition of the manufacturing industry. It also aims to mitigate risks for social disparities and inequalities by targeting societal, industrial, academic, and regulatory dimensions. Co-designing education and training programs as well as relevant AI tools with workers, especially vulnerable groups, using empowering, inclusive, and symbiotic complementarities between AI, automation, and humans is key to this approach.

What could a roadmap for positive adoption of human-AI synergies look like in manufacturing work environments? How to design human-centred AI-enabled work systems in such environments that capitalise on the best of both human and AI skills? What are skill gaps and future skill requirements in manufacturing and how to develop appropriate maturity models and roadmaps for organisations and manufacturing professionals towards future manufacturing jobs characterised by the key SkillAIbility project concepts of Augmentation, Empowerment, Inclusivity, and Human-AI symbiosis? What can we can learn from the SkillAIbility project manufacturing use cases defined within the project consortium how to instil these four key concepts in them? What lessons can be learned for manufacturing industry, workers, and policy-making? You will have the opportunity to contribute towards exploring such questions as part of a dynamic team and overall project consortium. 

When to apply

The cut-off deadline date for applications will be 11 May 2026 and all applications submitted by then will be considered in the first round. The position will remain open until a suitable candidate is found . Applications submitted after May 11 will be considered after the first round.

PhD position Behavioural Neuroscience

Insufficient and poor-quality sleep are major and growing societal concerns, strongly linked to adverse mental health outcomes such as anxiety, depression, and neurodegenerative disease. Beyond general health effects, sleep plays a critical role in memory processing by consolidating experiences while reducing their emotional intensity. When sleep is disrupted especially after fearful events, this process fails and leads to heightened distress during memory recall and potentially contributing to the development of maladaptive or traumatic memories. In this project, we aim to elucidate the neurobiological processes to contribute to the development of maladaptive/traumatic memories.

PhD

PhD position Toward Trustworthy and Adaptive Agentic AI Systems

Researchers have developed increasingly powerful foundation models, including transformers and diffusion models, that demonstrate remarkable capabilities across a wide range of tasks. The next decade will focus on transforming these models into autonomous, long-horizon agentic AI systems, such as LLM-based multi-agent systems and embodied agents, that can operate robustly in complex, real-world environments. Unlike static foundation models, agentic AI systems are designed to perceive their surroundings, formulate and execute plans, take goal-directed actions, and continuously learn from interaction.

We are seeking a highly motivated PhD candidate to conduct research on agentic AI systems, with the goal of developing a deeper conceptual and theoretical understanding of their underlying mechanisms. This position will focus on advancing the planning and reasoning capabilities, safety, and continual learning mechanisms of agentic AI systems. Depending on the candidate’s interests, there will also be opportunities to engage in international collaborations and explore real-world applications of agentic AI systems across diverse domains.
