If you’re a Masters degree holder and seeking Fully Funded PhD Programs, Delft University of Technology (TU Delft), Netherlands has several online applications open for PhD programs. Explore the PhD opportunities across diverse research areas and submit your application soon.
1. Fully Funded PhD Position in Human Autonomy in Human-AI interaction for Crowd Crises
Summary of PhD Program:
A major challenge in crises is the combination of complexity, time pressure and moral decisions. AI has the potential to support first responders in crowd crises decisions, yet the increasing use of AI has led to a debate about the legal and ethical implications if decisions are automated and supported by AI. In this PhD project, we go beyond the ‘human in the loop’ paradigm, and investigate the implications of automation at scale in human-AI teams. This PhD is part of the NWO-funded AI-COMPASS project.
Application Deadline: 31 July 2024
2. Fully Funded PhD Position in Spread in Networks
Summary of PhD Program:
Epidemic processes widely apply to biological and computer network viruses, to cascading failures in power grids, to the spread of news, rumour or emotions in a social network, to transactions in banking networks and to the processing of functions and movements in the human brain. An epidemic process spreads over an underlying network topology or contact graph, that is generally changing over time. Standard models used so far are mostly based on Markovian processes and mean-field approximations.

3. Fully Funded PhD Position in The Potential of Climate Interventions in Complex Cloud Systems
Summary of PhD Program:
Within this project, you will develop a modelling framework to investigate climate intervention approaches targeting clouds in the Arctic where temperatures are increasing rapidly. To assess the potential of climate interventions in the Arctic, we need to capture the complexity of cloud systems in model simulations. However, many of the processes related to cloud formation are not taken into account adequately in models. Therefore, we will work with traditional parameterizations for cloud microphysics, but also explore how physics-enhanced machine learning can help us to develop new ways of describing cloud processes in models.
Application Deadline: 4 August 2024
4. Fully Funded PhD Position in Trustworthy Federated Learning for Distributed AI Applications
Summary of PhD Program:
This Ph.D. project centers on creating a secure and trustworthy framework for distributed computation (e.g., FL) within often untrustworthy peers. The goal is to develop a comprehensive system leveraging Distributed Ledger Technology and smart contracts that improves the efficiency of federated learning and enhances the transparency, explainable AI, and accountability of the data processing during data modeling.
Application Deadline: 4 August 2024
5. Fully Funded PhD Position in CO2 Electochemical Conversion to Alcohols on Molecular Catalysts
Summary of PhD Program:
The open PhD position will fit within this larger team of 5-8 PhD and postdocs, while working on an independent research project embedded with the ERC Starting Grant title RECALLCO2. Here the candidate will seek to develop an entirely new set of electrodes that unify the two fields of molecular catalysts and metallic electrodes to perform novel CO2/CO electrochemical reactions. Target products include primarily ethanol and methanol while there is a wide range of possibilities for the metal electrodes and molecular compounds.

6. 04 Fully Funded PhD Position in Aerodynamic Performance Assesment and Enhancement of Flettner Rotors for Wind Assisted Ship Propulsion
Summary of PhD Program:
In response to this challenge, TU Delft recently launched a multi-disciplinary, interfaculty research program on Wind Assisted Ship Propulsion (WASP) focusing on three research themes: 1) Fluid dynamics, 2) Design and operation, and 3) Sustainable and societal impact. In the fluid dynamics theme, 4 PhD projects are open to study rotor-sails fundamental flow physics (project 1 and 2), flow control performance enhancement (project 3), and multi-rotor/ship-rotor interactions (project 4). We are a young, international and diverse team within the Faculties of Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering.
Application Deadline: 5 August 2024
7. Fully Funded PhD Position in Hybrid Wind Tunnel Testing of Floating Offshore Wind Turbines Aerodynamics and Aeroelasticity
Summary of PhD Program:
Floating offshore wind turbines are widely regarded as a key technology to accelerate renewable power generation and reach climate targets. Installing a wind turbine on a floating structure comes with opportunities as well as new engineering challenges. Due to the floating motions, the rotor is subject to complex aerodynamics not yet fully understood. Lab-scale experiments in the field are scarse but highly relevant for capturing these phenomena and update numerical design tools. In response, HybridLab project (https://hybridlabs.tudelft.nl) was launched aiming at accelerating innovations in offshore renewables through hybrid labs.
Application Deadline: 17 August 2024
8. Fully Funded PhD Position in Agent-Based Modelling of Urban Economic Segregation
Summary of PhD Program:
This doctoral position represents an exciting opportunity to combine and develop the latest methods of modular social simulation, empirically-calibrated agent-based models and spatially explicit population synthesis on a socially relevant topic. You will be expected to 1/Build a synthetic population from sociodemographic and spatial microdata ; 2/ Build a modular Agent-based model of urban economic segregation, that translates a set of identified theories into social mechanisms ; 3/Evaluate and calibrate the model configurations against sociodemographic and spatial microdata ; 4/ Implement, run and compare policy scenarios on the calibrated model ; 5/ Write, submit and present related articles to relevant journals and conferences.
Application Deadline: 25th August 2024
9. Fully Funded PhD Position in Thermo-Mechanical Methods of Recycling Fine Aggregates – Recovery of Clean Sand and Cement Paste Rich Powder
Summary of PhD Program:
We are seeking for a highly motivated PhD candidate to join our research team at Resources and recycling, Faculty of Civil Engineering and Geosciences. The position focuses on developing innovative thermo-mechanical methods of recycling fine aggregates retrieved from construction and demolition waste. The research involves experimental studies to evaluate the effect of heating and mechanical processing techniques on the property of recycled fine aggregates and cement rich powder, such as particle size distribution, morphology, thermal stability, and reactivity.
Application Deadline: 25 August 2024
10. Fully Funded PhD Position in Quantum Networks
Summary of PhD Program:
The vision of a Quantum Internet is to provide fundamentally new internet technology by enabling quantum communication between any two points on earth. Such a Quantum Internet will – in synergy with the ‘classical’ Internet that we have today – connect quantum processors in order to achieve unparalleled capabilities that are provably impossible using only classical communication.
