PhD position summary/title: PhD Candidate: Effect of Online and Offline Marketing of Alcohol-free Beverages on the Drinking Behaviour of Young People
We are starting an exciting project to explore the effects of online and offline marketing of alcohol-free beverages. Given the relatively recent emergence of alcohol-free beverages, there is limited understanding of their impact and how their marketing influences alcohol consumption. While the marketing of alcoholic products is known to lead to earlier and increased consumption, resulting in (partial) restrictions, there are currently no such limitations for alcohol-free product marketing. The presentation of alcohol-free beverages often closely resembles that of alcoholic drinks, potentially influencing alcohol consumption patterns.
You will collaborate closely with the project team at Radboud University and the University of Amsterdam, and take a leading role in several objectives. You will examine the exposure of young people to offline alcohol-free beverage marketing and the effects on behaviour, as well as mechanisms that explain these effects. As a PhD candidate, you will initiate, develop and execute several studies. You will write scientific papers, resulting in the completion of a PhD thesis at the end of your employment contract.

PhD position summary/title: PhD Candidate in Condensed Matter Physics for the Synthesis of 2D Materials
Recently, two-dimensional (2D) materials, e.g. graphene, have gained much attention in research for their special physical properties compared to their three-dimensional counterparts. Halides or transition metal dichalcogenides in particular, but also many other material compounds, show great potential for future device applications because of their special superconducting, magnetic or transport properties. However, typically these materials are very reactive and deteriorate quickly under ambient conditions or even in the dry atmosphere of a glove box.
Your goal will be to establish a new synthesis method and subsequently investigate these materials using local probes at ultra-low temperatures, including scanning probe microscopy and magneto-transport. Using these newly developed material systems, you will investigate physical phenomena such as superconductivity, charge transport, and unconventional memory/computing. Your teaching load may be up to 10% of your working time.

PhD position summary/title: PhD candidate Metaphysics and Philosophical Anthropology
The Department of Metaphysics and Philosophical Anthropology is looking for a PhD candidate to work on the project ’The Origins of Philosophical Anthropology in Classical German Philosophy’. In the eighteenth century, the study of human nature and the development of anthropological theories gained increasing attention. Classical German philosophers played a central role in establishing philosophical anthropology as a proper academic discipline. Kant’s lectures on anthropology, delivered at the University of Königsberg from 1772 to 1796, and his book Anthropologie in pragmatischer Hinsicht (1798) were pivotal in this development. Kant’s work sparked a growing interest in anthropological topics, and his influence can be observed in major representatives of classical German philosophy (from Herder to Hegel) and in other post-Kantian philosophers who contributed to the anthropological debates of the time (such as Carl Leonhard Reinhold, Carl Christian Erhard Schmid, and Jakob Friedrich Fries). Additionally, philosophical approaches were shaped by both the positive and critical reception of contemporaneous scientific anthropologies developed by physicians and life scientists like Johann Friedrich Blumenbach and Ernst Platner. Recent scholarship on classical German philosophy has demonstrated a growing interest in anthropological topics, especially with regard to Kant’s anthropology. However, less attention has been paid to the anthropological accounts of other post-Kantian philosophers and to the influence of empirical research on philosophical theories.

PhD position summary/title: PhD Candidate: Philosophy of Science: Causal Inquiry in the Social Sciences
In this PhD project, you will critically study causal mechanisms in the social sciences. The project is suitable for a candidate with a strong background in philosophy of science and a proven interest or experience in social scientific research (such as political science, international relations studies, sociology, or educational research). You will be able to shape the project in a way that matches your interests and background.
Why did the Hungarian democracy backslide? Why do some women perform worse on standardised math tests? Increasingly, social scientists frame questions like these as queries about causal mechanisms. Thus, political scientists claim that ‘polarisation’ is a causal mechanism undermining the Hungarian democracy, and sociologists claim that ‘stereotype threat’ is a causal mechanism behind the worse performance of some women on standardised math tests. While social scientists cannot formulate exceptionless laws that tell them when democratic backsliding or poor academic performance will occur, many believe they can explain and/or predict instances of these phenomena by discovering case-specific mechanisms. These mechanisms, they argue, can open the ’black box’ of correlational research by showing how a putative cause led to an effect of interest. But how and in what sense can one speak sensibly about causal mechanisms in the heterogeneous, ever evolving, complex social world?

PhD position summary/title: PhD Candidate: International and European Law
Recent years have seen significant changes in the types of cases being brought before international judicial bodies: increasingly, states are instituting proceedings on the basis of common or community interests, such as the regulation of the global environment, the protection of human rights, or the prevention of unspeakable atrocities like genocide. Concerns have been raised, however, about the appropriateness and suitability of traditional bilateral and adversarial procedures for dealing with such issues, particularly where they transcend the rights and interests of individual states parties to the case. As a PhD candidate, you will explore the evolution of the role of international courts and tribunals in the face of common and community interest-based cases. You will conduct original and independent research analysing the ways in which international courts and tribunals could adapt, and have already adapted, to face these new challenges.
You will be joining the vibrant community of the Department of International and European Law at Radboud University, where the proposed PhD project is to be carried out as part of the wider research conducted at the Faculty of Law’s Research Centre for Law and State (SteR). Given the focus on international adjudicative bodies, it will particularly resonate with the SteR subprogramme on ‘Conflict-resolving Institutions’.

PhD position summary/title: PhD Candidate: Experimental Approaches to Global Histories of Art and Architecture
We offer you the opportunity to develop and carry out your own PhD project within the area of expertise of your supervisors, who specialise in global approaches to the history of art and architecture: Prof. Scott Nethersole, Dr Sonia de Laforcade and Dr Matthew Mullane. The project will be funded by a Starters Grant from the Faculty of Arts awarded to Dr Sonia de Laforcade and Dr Matthew Mullane.
Amidst calls to decolonise the discipline and challenge inherited biases, art and architecture historians have increasingly embraced global-scale study. But what does a global history of art and architecture look like? And does it necessarily have to take the form of a book? Looking to the earliest examples of ’global’ art and architecture history we in fact see a wide range of media experiments. In Europe, nineteenth-century historians awash in new colonially sourced images and objects developed novel means of presenting the overwhelming scope of a global story. However, there remains a wealth of underexplored experiments from around the world that not only challenge our preconceptions about the authoritative book, but also the absoluteness of national and stylistic categories.
Scholars have begun to spotlight these overlooked examples of art history made by artists, critics, architects, and even corporations in unexpected media. The supervising team of this PhD project have contributed to these efforts by analysing projection-based performances that reinvent the history of art from the perspective of Brazil (de Laforcade) and a world history of architecture secreted away in a Japanese architect’s notebooks (Mullane). These examples of ’global art history’ are more than just novel experiments, but rather challenges to the structures of power inherent in disciplinary discourse. Today, in the face of digital media’s growing influence, we stand to lose alternative traditions of art history under the weight of the digital’s presumed objectivity. It is therefore vital to collect and understand approaches that add to the methodological multiplicity of the discipline. Your PhD project will contribute to this growing field of inquiry.

PhD position summary/title: PhD Candidate: Computational Cognitive Neuroscience – Decision Confidence
Almost every decision we make is accompanied by a feeling of confidence – a subjective assessment of how likely we are to be correct. This feeling of confidence allows us to evaluate our decisions and adjust our actions accordingly. Imagine you are about to cross a busy street. You rely on your sight and hearing to gauge if an oncoming truck will stop in time. But what factors influence your confidence in that judgment, and how does that confidence shape your next actions? This PhD project seeks to unravel the computations and neural mechanisms of these complex processes.
As a PhD candidate, you will also have the opportunity to develop valuable skills by mentoring students, participating in international conferences, and collaborating with leading researchers in the field. We offer access to state-of-the-art facilities and resources, and a supportive environment for your academic and professional development. Your teaching load may be up to 5% of your working time.

PhD position summary/title: PhD Candidate: Apocalypticism in Contemporary Indigenous Literatures: Ways of Knowing the End of Times
The notion of apocalypse remains a central heuristic for making sense of crisis. Cataclysm, however, is not by definition an equaliser, as demonstrated by the inequitable impact of the climate emergency and epidemic disease, the enduring legacies of colonialism, and the often-localised manifestation of geopolitical conflict through war, displacement, and hunger. The project we invite you to propose will seek to highlight this by exploring the notion that one group’s (self-claimed) golden age might be another’s end times.
Indigenous peoples around the world have been decimated by the operations of (settler) colonialism, which reduced many populations by 90% or more and displaced or even erased entire cultures and languages. As a result of this ’settler apocalypse’, Lawrence Gross has suggested, many Indigenous communities suffer from ’Postapocalyptic Stress Syndrome’ (Gross 2014: 33). At the same time, the cultural memory of apocalypse can also figure as a productive instrument for exploring and defining identities.
For this project, you are invited to consider together fields such as Indigenous Studies, Environmental Humanities, Postcolonial Studies, Settler Colonial Studies, and American Studies, through literary studies methods. Your project will focus on authors from the United States, Canada, New Zealand, and/or Australia, for instance Louise Erdrich, Waubgeshig Rice, Siku Allooloo, and/or Alexis Wright. It will examine how texts by authors with different Indigenous positionalities and perspectives engage with and narrativise past, present, and/or future experiences and figurations of apocalypse. Moreover, your project will explore how they resist, interrogate and intervene in contemporary eschatological discourses, which often engage with or co-opt Indigenous ways of being and knowing.
