1. PhD Position in understanding the current state of cybersecurity with the help of macro and micro level indicators
Summary of PhD Program:
This PhD project focuses on designing socio-economic measurement tools and developing metrics for security variables. The aim is to measure security effectiveness based on the outcome (being compromised as an organization or not) which is in itself very hard to measure, developing metrics for effectiveness of actions, controls, or measures against the event of being hacked. This inturn will aid managers with making security investment decisions.

2. PhD Position in Federated Monitoring and Automated Response
Summary of PhD Program:
The Twente University Centre for Cybersecurity Research has a vacancy for a PhD Position in Federated Monitoring and Automated Response. Real-time monitoring is essential for threat detection and response. Many different monitoring approaches have been proposed in the state-of-the-art and several tools are available on the market. However, the complexity and dynamism of modern distributed environments pose a critical challenge to such tools, which are limited in terms of scalability and visibility. Additionally, in such distributed architectures it is crucial to correlate observed insights (e.g., indicators of compromise) to track lateral movement.

3. PhD Position in CHIRALFORCE
Summary of PhD Program:
The Mesoscale Chemical Systems (MCS) group has a vacancy for a PhD student to work on microfluidics for the separation of enantiomers. Separating enantiomers is crucial to produce bio-active molecules, e.g., in early-phase drug discovery. The project aims at a radically new strategy to separate enantiomers on chip, using chiral optical forces at silicon-based optical waveguides and integration with microfluidics. The proposed method has the promise to be quick, tunable, and cheap. The focus of the PhD student in the MCS group will be on the design, fabrication, and testing of the microfluidic parts of the chip, which eventually will be monolithically integrated with the photonic components developed by one of the partner institutions in the project.

5. PhD Position in Stabilization of gas-liquid foams using amphiphobic catalysts
Summary of PhD Program:
In this project, funded by the Dutch Research Council (NWO) as part of the Talent Scheme VIDI, you will apply amphiphobic catalysts that can stabilize gas-liquid interfaces to study the formation of foams and their fluid dynamic behavior using high-speed thermal microscopy on micro-channel flow-reactors coupled to ex-situ analytics using HPLC and GC-MS. In this project you will design, construct, and test a new micro-channel reactor system that can generate foams stabilized by particles. These solids should act as foam stabilizers to produce high-surface area gas-liquid-solid contacting reactors.

6. PhD Position in Predicting Efficacy of neuromodulation in epilepsy
Summary of PhD Program:
In patients with medically refractory epilepsy vagus nerve stimulation and deep brain stimulation are possible treatment options. While effective in several patients, about 30-50% of patients do not respond favorably to this treatment. This project aims to identify novel biomarkers to predict the success of vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) using ultra-long (up to more than a year) EEG measurements with a subcutaneous electrode (© UNEEG). This is complemented with (functional) MRI and high-density EEG recordings. Patients who are candidates for VNS will be implanted with the UNEEG device 2 months before implantation of the VNS. Treatment effects will be evaluated with the UNEEG electrode, complemented with diaries and questionnaires regarding epilepsy related symptoms.

9. PhD Position in Opto-Electronic neuromorphic computing
Summary of PhD Program:
The PhD researcher will fabricate opto-electronics based on molecular tunnelling junctions consisting of tuneable organic molecules and thin films of flexible materials, perform electrical measurements, build optics to realise imaging and spectroscopy of the junctions, and analyse the electrical and optical responses of the system. This will eventually enable the evolution of molecular tunnelling junctions to be photonically active devices, which opens prospects for the innovative optical computing.

Summary of PhD Program:
This specific PhD project is innovative in taking the full cross-contextual media landscape into account. The project concerns the role of emergent and advanced digitalization for equality of opportunities for young children and early adolescents. As a PhD, you will develop measures for the digital media landscape and for cultural, socioeconomic and linguistic diversity of family backgrounds. Furthermore, you will analyse data for the assessment of inequalities in digital media use in cross-contextual media landscapes and its effects on development. The focus will be the effects on cognitive, identity and social development separately.

12. PhD Position in In-Situ Pellicle Exposure and Transmission
Summary of PhD Program:
We are looking for a motivated and skilled PhD researcher to investigate the physical and chemical degradation processes of novel ultra-thin freestanding films. These transparent membranes are used as protective transparent windows (‘pellicles’) in EUV photolithography, where they are placed just above the sensitive photomask to prevent its contamination by particles. The membranes need to resist not only thermo-mechanical stresses, but also surface degradation by EUV photon induced chemical reactions, bombardment by low energetic ions, and chemical etching by radicals. The aim of the project is to develop fundamental knowledge on the film EUV-induced degradation mechanisms and find materials and processes that can mitigate pellicle damage.

14. Two PhD Position in Development of an inversion scheme to close the water cycle balance
Summary of PhD Program:
You will develop an inversion scheme to estimate watershed-wide mass fluxes, and (relative) sea level based upon weighted least squares. It will ingest data from the satellite gravity mission GRACE and its follow-on, river discharge estimates, regional sea level estimates and observed vertical land motion. The inversion scheme will have global coverage, but it will be refined in the two focus regions (North Sea and the Greater Horn of Africa) in terms of atmospheric moisture flux and river discharge across the watershed boundaries. You will work closely together with the other PhD position as the inversion scheme will be fed with datasets they produce.

15. PhD Position in Data-driven river discharge and coastal sea level change in the North Sea
Summary of PhD Program:
Your challenge includes the estimation of river discharge from local gauges and ‘virtual’ gauges (i.e. radar altimetry) at the mouths of the watersheds of the two focus regions (Watersheds around the North Sea and the Greater Horn of Africa). Furthermore, you will provide estimates of regional sea level change from re-tracked radar altimetry and vertical land motion from GNSS networks. The output of your research will enhance the understanding of our ability to monitor and close the water cycle in the focus regions. Furthermore, it will also serve as a key input for the inversion framework which will be developed within the other PhD position.
