PhD position summary/title: PhD Position in Cell-water Structure and Dynamics
Water in living cells contains a high concentration of biomolecules, that can significantly alter its properties (see https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-017-00858-0). There are even cells (bacterial spores, for instance) in which all chemistry is put to a standstill: these cells can survive for years in a dried-out, chemically ‘frozen’ state, from which they can recover completely and continue living as if nothing happened. The physical and chemical mechanisms underlying this suspended metabolism are still a mystery. In this PhD project, you will help to solve this mystery by using state-of-the-art experimental methods to investigate the structure and dynamics of water and proteins in living cells capable of surviving extreme circumstances, such as drought and thermal shock. Knowledge of how some cells manage to survive complete desiccation for such long periods of time can help to develop strategies for the dry, room-temperature storage of blood and vaccines (important for third-world countries), but potentially even for the dry storage of entire organisms. The project will be carried out at the University of Amsterdam, in cooperation with the Max-Planck Institute in Mainz.

PhD position summary/title: 2 PhD Positions in Law & Finance
The future of banking regulation: between stability and sustainability
The transition to a more sustainable and just economy needs to be financed. This extraordinary financial need will increase the overall level of public and private indebtedness. This generates societal risks, both inside and outside the financial sector, that are often underestimated and may backfire, endangering the green transition itself. The project specifically focuses on banking regulation as there is currently a gap in the analysis, especially in the legal domain.
The perspective PhD researcher should contribute to the research in this field, with ample freedom in designing specific research projects. The overall aim of the project is to contribute to the design of a legal framework that incentivizes private actors to finance the green transition while safeguarding financial and social stability.

PhD position summary/title: PhD (Candidate) Software Verification for Programmable 6G Networks
Software-defined and programmable networking is a key enabling technology to support 6G in achieving their promises of increased scalability and flexibility at a lower cost. Deep network programmability, that is the ability to program the network fabric both vertically (control and data plane) and horizontally (end to end), is expected to characterize the new generation of mobile networks (6G), currently under development, towards supporting extreme performance requirements and service-specific operations.
The objective of the PhD project is to develop a framework consisting of a set of programming language methodologies and tools for the specification, verification and generation of software and configurations for programmable data planes. Making data-planes programmable (e.g., using the P4 language) enables unprecedented network flexibility, often at the cost of robustness and security.
These challenges require domain-specific, formally verified, and empirically tested solutions that curtail the underlying complexity through the introduction of layers of abstraction. The candidate will contribute to the design and evolution of domain-specific languages, software verification techniques and programming environments that enable network operators to deploy verified programs with CI/CD pipelines for programmable data planes. To achieve this, the candidate will study, develop and apply programming language techniques such as static and runtime verification, formal specification, and language design, translation and implementation.

PhD position summary/title: PhD candidate in Cognitive and Systems Neuroscience of Belief Updating
Predictions inform almost all our decisions (e.g., when choosing the bike over the bus, based on the predicted duration and weather conditions). Critically, sometimes unexpected changes in the world render our predictions invalid (e.g., nearby roadworks result in a longer-than-predicted trip duration). Normative Bayesian theory prescribes that after particularly surprising outcomes, existing beliefs should be updated quickly using the newly arriving information. What are the brain circuits that mediate the flexible updating of prior beliefs?
The project will test theory-driven hypotheses using an integrative, cross-species approach combining laminar ensemble recordings (single-unit resolution), multi-fiber photometry and optogenetics in mice, and laminar functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) at 7 Tesla in humans. Mouse and human observers will undergo an identical statistical learning paradigm.
The project, led by dr. Mototaka Suzuki and dr. Jan Willem de Gee, is embedded in the Cognitive and Systems Neuroscience (CSN) group at the Swammerdam Institute for Life Sciences (SILS). You will receive top-notch interdisciplinary training which will prepare you well for a career in cognitive and systems neuroscience.
The mission of the Cognitive and Systems Neuroscience group, one of the researchgroups of the Swammerdam Institute for Life Sciences, is to elucidate how neuronal networks distributed across the sensory neocortex, frontal cortex, hippocampal memory system and subcortical regions cooperate in perception, decision-making and memory processing. We are interested in questions such as how perceptual representations are formed and how perceptual decisions are made.

PhD position summary/title: PhD position: The Role of (Private) Law in Food Systems Transformation
The PhD project should fill a critical gap in existing scholarship by highlighting the connection between established legal structures and emerging sustainable (labour) practices within the current predominantly extractive food systems. The project should aim at deepening our knowledge on how law is shaping not only exploitative food industries but also emerging sustainable alternatives. The project needs to make a contribution towards answering the question about how (private) law should be rethought at fundamental level in order to better support such sustainable practices of food production, leading to sustainable and just food systems overall. The proposals are encouraged to take a holistic approach to the question of sustainable and just food systems transformation. Especially important is the connection between nature and labour, expressed in the entanglement of land, labourers, communities and ecosystems.
While the project does not have an exclusive regional interest, proposals with a focus on the Netherlands, the Global South or regions that are otherwise marginalised in research are particularly welcome. The projects should entail conducting original empirical research on food production models that foster sustainable labour practices, ecological sustainability, social justice, and economic equity. Such original empirical insights should offer deeper understanding of how legal structures affect transformative change towards sustainable, just, equitable, and worker-governed food systems.

PhD position summary/title: PhD in Conservation Entrepreneurship
The ongoing, dramatic loss of biodiversity is widely regarded as one of humanity’s most significant and pressing challenges. Biodiversity loss harms carrying capacity and resilience, affecting people in various ways, not only those who feel a close connection with nature. Furthermore, reversing such losses is difficult. Hence, action is required, which needs to go beyond macro and top-down long-term measures addressing the known drivers of biodiversity loss such as habitat loss, overexploitation, climate change, pollution, and invasive species. More immediate (and deep) mechanisms are required.
Entrepreneurship is seen as a particularly promising driver of positive change. While it is well established in the economic and business literature that entrepreneurship is a major driver of economic transformation, it remains less clear how entrepreneurs and economic and psychological entrepreneurial mechanisms can expediate such a sustainability transformation and best preserve biodiversity. This project follows recent calls for research and business activity to reconsider the diverse values of nature to help reassess connections with nature and related responsibilities.
This PhD project aims to take a scholarly entrepreneurship perspective to investigate the nexus between conservation and entrepreneurship. For example, the PhD project can explore incentive structures, personal values, attitudes and self-efficacy processes, and entrepreneurial skill development to study how entrepreneurs can promote biophilia or how conservationists can benefit from applying entrepreneurial methods. The PhD project can involve the application of a wide range of methods; that is, both qualitative and quantitative methods are suitable for further exploration of the above sketched themes (e.g., the candidate can explore associations with publicly available biodiversity indicators, gather data with help of surveys, interviews, or experiments). Ideally, the PhD project translates findings to concrete implications for research, policy, and practice, including implications for conservation entrepreneurship education and startup incubation.

PhD position summary/title: 2 PhD Positions Political Science: Understanding Allocation of Climate Finance in the Global South
The Department of Political Science at the University of Amsterdam (UvA) is looking for two PhD’s in Political Science: Understanding the Allocation of Climate Finance in the Global South.
The impact of climate change on people’s lives and livelihoods is increasingly hard to ignore and is moreover characterized by trenchant inequities. In response, wealthy nations have pledged to mobilize US$100 billion annually in “climate finance” to help their more vulnerable counterparts. The past decade has seen climate finance double, but we know very little about what happens when these resources reach their intended beneficiaries in the Global South. As such, we lack information about where and how climate finance can have the greatest impact, and what constitutes the greatest areas of unmet need.
ClimateFiGS develops new theory and methods to understand the allocation and spending of climate finance within Global South countries. The project aims to generate new global data on the mobilization of climate finance, while also studying detailed patterns of budget allocation and expenditure in three purposefully selected African countries. The project further adapts methods from social activism to map the power dynamics that drive climate finance decision making within countries and traces the processes that lead certain sectors and districts to be prioritized.
Two PhD students with complementary skills and interests are sought to lead two subprojects that aim to understand allocation decisions in Tanzania, South Africa, and a third African country to be determined in earlier stages of the project. PhD1 will lead a subproject that employs qualitative methods and focuses on decision-making within African governments and civil society. PhD2 will lead a subproject that generates quantitative data through surveys of local government bureaucrats, using an instrument that includes an experimental intervention.

PhD position summary/title: 2 PhD positions on causal machine learning and reinforcement learning for FinTech
Do you enjoy solving challenging machine learning problems on complex real-world data, and are you interested in the fintech (financial technology) domain? The AMLab group at the university of Amsterdam is looking for two PhD candidates on topics in this field. Each candidate will work on one of two subprojects, that have a main focus on causal machine learning and reinforcement learning, respectively. The goal is to advance research in both fields while also evaluating and balancing its practical feasibility. The research falls within a collaboration between the University of Amsterdam and Adyen.
In project 1 we will focus on learning causal drivers of user behaviour in transaction approval pipelines through reusing existing data or by designing new A/B tests. For example, when deciding which options to use to authorize a transaction, we might want to optimize the trade-off between ensuring that the transaction is legitimate and creating unnecessary friction for the users. Estimating the causal effect of each choice on different sets of users allows us to optimize this decision, but designing and implementing A/B tests can be expensive and prone to selection bias. In this project, we will explore how to accurately and sample-efficiently learn causal relations by reusing data from previously run A/B tests and observational data, as well as design cheaper and more accurate A/B tests that can help us estimate the intended causal effects.

PhD position summary/title: PhD Position: ‘The Developing Self and Achievement Inequality’
We are looking for a motivated PhD candidate to study achievement inequality through the lens of children’s developing self-views. Achievement inequality is a defining problem of our time. Around the world, children from low socioeconomic status (SES) backgrounds underperform in school relative to children from high-SES backgrounds, even when they have the same level of ability. This project, funded by an NWO Vidi grant, studies the critical role of children’s developing self-views in achievement inequality.
The project examines why children from lower SES backgrounds tend to develop negative views of themselves and their abilities, and how these negative self-views may subsequently perpetuate socioeconomic disparities in educational achievement and mental health (e.g., impostor feelings). To do so, this project will focus on the transactions between children and their teachers.
The PhD candidate will design and conduct research within this project. The PhD candidate will combine different research methods to identify the causes and consequences of teachers’ differential treatment of children from high- and low-SES backgrounds. For example, the candidate will conduct real-life observations and experimental studies on teacher-child interactions. In addition, the candidate will set up a longitudinal study (combined with experience sampling methods) to examine how teacher-chid interactions shape children’s self-views, motivation, and achievement across the transition from elementary to secondary school. The candidate will have the opportunity and autonomy to design their own research, together with their supervisors.
