Are you interested in how migrant clients with mental health challenges can be optimally supported in making triadic shared treatment decisions together with their support systems and mental healthcare professionals? Do you want to understand the complex dynamics in triadic shared decision-making, and find a way to increase it in the mental health context? Then, apply for this PhD project!

Are you interested in machine learning and molecular modeling of drug discovery? The AI for Chemistry group, headed by Associate Professor Bernd Ensing, is looking for a postdoctoral researcher to work on the development of machine learning methodology for so-called late-stage drug discovery in a collaborative project with the Organic Chemistry group of Dr. Tati Fernández Ibáñez and the Vascular Cell Biology group of Prof. Jaap van Buul. The projected is funded for 18 months by the Molecular and Material Design Technology Hub of the Faculty of Science. Candidates interested in helping with extending the project, for example with research proposal writing, will have a preference.

Do you have a keen interest in marine microbial ecology? Are you interested in the dynamics of microalgal communities, and how they are affected by environmental change? Do you like to combine laboratory experiments with molecular methods and fieldwork in polar ecosystems? Apply for this vacancy and start your PhD research.

Do you enjoy using computational approaches to study biological problems? Are you interested in developing and applying deep learning methodology to investigate cells at the molecular level? We invite enthusiastic and dedicated candidates to join our cutting-edge research team as a PhD student to work on developing novel methodology for the analysis of single-cell sequencing data using deep learning based approaches.
