Additionally, you will enjoy excellent benefits, including a holiday allowance of 8% of the gross annual salary, an end-of-year bonus of 8.3%, and a solid pension scheme.
This article will give you a brief description of each position and a link for application.
1. Fully Funded PhD position in Trustworthy Analysis of Stochastic Timed Systems
Project Description
Two Ph.D. positions within the TruSTy project on “Trustworthy Analysis of Stochastic Timed Systems” are available. This PhD position is focusing on advancing the trustworthiness and applicability of quantitative model checking for critical systems like storm surge barriers and smart grids. You'll develop scalable algorithms, construct machine-checked correctness proofs, and derive high-performance tools. This research intersects computer science and mathematics, involving algorithms, formal methods, probability theory, and statistics. Funded by NWO, the project aims to create highly reliable approaches for modeling and analyzing complex systems under uncertainty. As a PhD student, you'll balance algorithm performance with numeric accuracy, using tools like the Isabelle interactive theorem prover. Your work will integrate into the Modest Toolset, enhancing its suite of quantitative verification tools.
🗓️ Application Deadline: 31 Jan 2025
2. PhD Position in Data-Driven Healthcare Models for Pandemic Preparation
This PhD position is focusing on data-driven healthcare models to enhance pandemic preparedness. You'll integrate medical, economic, and logistical elements into mathematical models for optimal patient allocation, minimizing lost healthy life years during outbreaks. Collaborate with hospitals, regional and national health organizations to implement decision support systems for real-life use. This project is embedded in the CHOIR research team at the University of Twente, specializing in healthcare logistics and operations research, offering a unique opportunity to contribute to critical healthcare solutions.
🗓️ Application Deadline: 30 Dec 2024
3. PhD Position: Physics-Informed Neural Networks for Multi-Hazard Modelling
This PhD position focuses on developing advanced Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs) for multi-hazard modelling. This research aims to create a unified framework to simulate complex interactions between hazards like earthquakes and landslides, improving disaster preparedness and risk mitigation. Funded by the Dutch national earth and environmental sector plan, this project will address computational efficiency and uncertainty quantification, using PINNs to embed physical laws directly into neural networks. The goal is to enable real-time, large-scale simulations, providing a powerful tool for early warning systems in data-scarce regions.
Application Deadline: 15 Dec 2024
4. PhD Position on Health Systems Engineering (HSE)
As a PhD student, you will join the Health Technology and Services Research (HTSR) section at the University of Twente for a PhD focused on Health Systems Engineering (HSE). Addressing the increasing demand for healthcare services due to an aging population and rapid technological advancements, this position aims to develop methods to evaluate and optimize healthcare strategies. You will integrate medical, economic, and logistical elements into quantitative models to improve healthcare efficiency. Collaborate with healthcare organizations to implement these strategies, ensuring sustainable and accessible healthcare. This dynamic team offers personal and professional development opportunities within a supportive environment.
