phd woning amsterdam

Finding a place to live in Amsterdam can be a challenge. Nikhef has a limited number of apartments for expatriates along the Carolina MacGillavrylaan which you can use for a maximum of one year. For more information, please contact Ed van Willigen of the Nikhef P&O (HR) department . Alternatively, there are many websites that offer accommodation in Amsterdam, several of which are listed below.

• Studentenwoningweb  (student accommodation web): Lucky for us, this website also accepts PhD students. It is a collaboration between  WoningNet  (a social housing corporation) and housing corporations DUWO, De Key, Stadgenoot and Ymere. Registration costs €38 and lasts eight years. Housing is distributed on a basis of registration time, but several accommodations are distributed by lottery every week.
• Kamernet (chamber net, Dutch): Kamernet is one of the biggest commercial housing sites of the Netherlands. Its focus is student rooms with shared amenities and it features full-fledged apartments as well. Responding to offers costs points, which in turn cost money.
• Marktplaats  (marketplace): The Dutch version of Ebay/Craigslist. Responding is free, but placing an ad costs money in certain cases.
• Expatriates : This website combines housing, item sale, community events and service information in one place. As the name suggests, its focus is on expatriates. It is entirely free.
• Funda : One of the most visited housing website in the Netherlands, and it is free. Beside from renting, you can also find houses to buy, if you have the money of course.
• Pararius : The largest independent website for rental properties (according to their website). Although it is free to see and react to posts, you have pay to receive non-delayed notifications. Given how competitve the housing market is, this is more or less mandatory.

Many more housing websites exist: Google is your friend here. Watch out though, setting up sites like this is an easy way to make money. Room prices easily reach €300 to €650 per month in a house where the kitchen and bathroom are shared between several tenants. Some people choose to go to a housing agency to rent an apartment which usually starts at €1000 per month, excluding gas, water and electricity. You then have to find someone to share the apartment with. Keep in mind that Amsterdam is an old city with many old houses, so not all apartments are suitable for sharing or even have three rooms. Housing agencies usually ask a fee of a month’s rent when they find an apartment for you.

Rent Committee

There are strict rules concerning rent in the Netherlands. In Amsterdam, where accommodation is in great shortage, there are a lot of people abusing the situation by asking an enormously high rent. The huurcommisse (rent committee) is an organisation meant to govern the rules concerning housing: they have tools to check whether your rent is too high and solve conflicts between landlords and tenants. It’s also illegal to offer all-in rent: rent should always be split in an amount you pay as bare rent for the room and an amount you pay for water and electricity. If you think your landlord is not obeying the rules, check the website of the rent committee (Dutch). Wijksteunpunt Wonen  (neighbourhood’s support offices, English) also offers help if you have questions or run into conflicts regarding tenants’ rights.

UvA student housing (limited availability)

Housing lottery applications.

• 2024-2025 You can apply for housing from Wednesday, 29 May 2024 09:00 CEST, until Wednesday, 12 June 2024 23:59 CEST. If you are eligible to participate, you can expect your invitation to be sent to you near the end of May 2024. For questions about your eligibility, please contact your faculty.

Limited availability

Since Dutch universities are not allowed to own housing properties under Dutch law, the UvA cannot facilitate accommodations for all incoming international students . Students are ultimately responsible for their own accommodation.

Find student accommodation

Amsterdam is one of the most exciting cities to live in, and as a result, housing is in hot demand. We recommend that you start looking for your new home as early as possible. Here is an overview of the websites and organisations that can help.

How to find student accommodation in the Amsterdam Area

Some universities and institutions have access to a limited number of rooms for international students. UvA ,  Vrije Universiteit ,  Amsterdam University of Applied Science and  Inholland University of Applied Sciences , for example, have procedures in place to help international students find housing. Generally, these include a private bedroom and a shared kitchen, bathroom and living space. These spaces are highly sought-after, so don’t delay your application.

Please note: Always follow the advice from your university about finding accommodation. It is not advisable to arrive in the Amsterdam area without first securing somewhere to stay. Demand currently outstrips supply and it may prove difficult to arrange a contract on short notice.

Try a student housing corporation

There are non-profit social housing corporations in the Amsterdam Area that specialise in working with students. For example, Studentenwoningweb is a dedicated part of the WoningNet platform, while Room lists accommodation in all of the major university cities in the Netherlands. Platforms like these operate with registrations and waiting lists, so it's a good idea to sign up well in advance of your move to the Amsterdam Area.

Websites for finding student accommodation

You can also check out these websites to find alternative student housing, including temporary and long-term options. Note: if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Have a read of these tips to avoid rental scams , as sadly they sometimes target students.  

• Kamer.nl connects students with rooms, studios and apartments. Users can create a profile listing their specifications to receive email alerts on relevant properties. 
• Kamernet is a large search engine of rental apartments and rooms. A fee is required to respond to advertisements.
• KamersAmsterdam  (in Dutch) features a range of affordable, student-friendly rooms in Amsterdam.
• Hotel Jansen is a short-stay hotel for students, new graduates and interns in Amsterdam. The tastefully-decorated rooms can be rented for one day up to six months.
• Housing Anywhere is an online housing platform where students can find accommodation for mid and long-term stays around the world.
• Student Experience provides modern fully-furnished apartments close to Vrije Universiteit.
• Pararius is a hub of short and long-term rental properties through various agencies.
• Funda is a free website with loads of properties for rent and purchase.  
• ASVA Student Union  features a selection of rooms for rent. In addition, they offer free juridical advice and a range of cheap, legal bikes.

Facebook groups for finding rooms in Amsterdam

Facebook groups are quickly becoming the go-to way to find a room or apartment in Amsterdam. Here are the most actively updated groups:

• Amsterdam Apartments 4 Rent
• Kamer gezocht in Amsterdam
• Woningen te huur in Amsterdam
• Kamers Gezocht/Aangeboden

Things to keep in mind

Everyone who lives in the Netherlands needs to register with the local municipality – yes, even students. So make this a priority once you’ve found your new home. Find out more about registration .

• Check whether the rent is inclusive ( inclusief ) of gas, water, electricity, etc. and factor this in to the cost.
• A deposit of 1 to 2 months’ rent is usually required. This is refunded if you leave the property in good condition.
• Be aware of illegal subletting as this can affect your rights as a tenant .
• If in doubt, check your rights. Contact !WOON  or drop in at one of their help desk.

Though we are striving to provide a broad overview of the organisations and platforms focused on housing for internationals, please be aware that you may encounter scams. To stay safe, review this  helpful information  from !WOON before starting your search.

Wonen in Amsterdam

Als je in Amsterdam of omgeving wilt komen wonen, is het niet makkelijk om woonruimte te vinden. Maar niet onmogelijk. Hoe pak je het aan?

Waar moet ik zoeken?

• WoningNet (opent in nieuw venster)  verdeelt sociale huurwoningen van woningbouwcorporaties in Amsterdam en omstreken. Vaak zijn er (jaren)lange wachtlijsten, dus hoe eerder je ingeschreven staat hoe beter. Je kunt je inschrijven vanaf je 18e.  
• De Amsterdamse woningbouwcoöperaties zoals Lieven De Key, Ymere, en DUWO bieden ook woonruimte aan. Deze kun je allemaal vinden via Studentenwoningweb (opent in nieuw venster) en Room.nl (opent in nieuw venster) . Dit zijn platforms voor studentenwoningen in onder andere de stadsregio Amsterdam. Vanaf je 16e jaar kun je je hier inschrijven. Er is wel een wachttijd van ca. 2-3 jaar. Dus ook hier geldt: hoe eerder je je inschrijft, hoe beter. 
• Gemeente Amsterdam (opent in nieuw venster) geeft ook tips over het zoeken naar een woning. 

Vergroot je kansen door ook in de regio te kijken: 

• Regio Zuid-Kennemerland (opent in nieuw venster) . 
• Regio Leiden en omgeving.  (opent in nieuw venster)
• Regio Delft en Den Haag (opent in nieuw venster) . 

Studentenwoningen Amstelcampus

Als student aan de HvA heb je voorrang op studentenwoningen op de Amstelcampus, de campus van de HvA in Amsterdam Oost. Studenten kunnen voor de duur van de studie een campuscontract krijgen. De huurprijzen per maand liggen tussen de € 650-711. Ben je 23 jaar of ouder dan kun je onder bepaalde voorwaarden ook in aanmerking komen voor huurtoeslag. Woonstichting Lieven De Key verhuurt de woningen via  studentenwoningweb.nl (opent in nieuw venster)  op basis van inschrijfduur en campusvoorrang. Let op: Er is een lange wachtlijst. Doordat hier campuscontracten uitgegeven worden, komen er maar mondjesmaat woningen vrij. Wil je voor een studentenwoning in aanmerking komen, schrijf je dan zo snel mogelijk in bij studentenwoningweb (opent in nieuw venster)  om wachttijd op te bouwen.

De Amstelcampus is verspreid over verschillende straten en heeft  zo'n 275 studentenwoningen. Het zijn zelfstandige woningen met een eigen woon/slaapkamer, badkamer en keuken. Op Studentenwoningweb kun je (nadat je je hebt ingeschreven) op de woningen reageren met onderstaande straatnamen: 

• Van Musschenbroekstraat
• Tilanusstraat
• Eerste Boerhaavestraat
• Tweede Boerhaavestraat

Woonruimte vinden wanneer je een functiebeperking hebt

Heb je een functiebeperking en heb je behoefte aan een woning die is aangepast op jouw behoeftes? Er zijn verschillende organisaties die je kunnen helpen bij het vinden van een woning die bij je past.  

Formele zaken

Bij het huren van een kamer moet je je op dat adres inschrijven bij het GBA (gemeentelijke basis administratie). Studiefinanciering (IB-groep) controleert bij het GBA of je echt uitwonend bent. Bij het huren bij particulieren kan dit soms problemen geven. 

Als je in een zelfstandige woning woont (met eigen keuken en badkamer) kun je onder bepaalde voorwaarden huurtoeslag aanvragen. Je kunt geen huurtoeslag aanvragen as je niet ingeschreven staat op je woonadres. 

Voor het huren van een zelfstandige woning heb je bijna altijd een huisvestigingsvergunning van de gemeente nodig. Dit geldt niet voor studenteneenheden (zelfstandig of onzelfstandig).

Nog meer tips

• In de privésector is de gemiddelde kamerprijs tegenwoordig € 950 per maand. Daarnaast wordt vrijwel altijd een borg gevraagd (meestal een maand huur) en moet je de eerste maand huur vooruit betalen. Bereid je dus voor op een flink startbedrag.
• Je kunt zelf actief op zoek gaan naar een woning op internet, bijvoorbeeld via marktplaats of social media.
• Je kunt voor je laten zoeken door een makelaar of een bemiddelingsbureau s . Houd wel rekening met hoge bemiddelingskosten en check of het bureau betrouwbaar is.
• De meeste Amsterdamse studenten vinden ' via via ' een kamer. Ken je al iemand in Amsterdam die op kamers woont? Informeer eens of er een kamer vrij komt. Ken je nog geen mensen? Sluit je aan bij bijvoorbeeld een studie- of sportvereniging.
• De ASVA geeft algemene informatie over het huren van een kamer in Amsterdam en kan optreden als bemiddelaar tussen studenten en verhuurders. Ze bieden ook richtlijnen over waar op te letten bij het bekijken van een kamer. Bezoek hun  webpagina (opent in nieuw venster)  voor meer informatie.
• Juni, juli, augustus en september zijn piekmaanden. Probeer buiten deze maanden te zoeken, dan is je kans groter op het vinden van een kamer.
• Focus je niet teveel op de binnenstad of binnenring van Amsterdam. Kijk ook in omringende gemeenten zoals Amstelveen, Diemen, Duivendrecht, Zaandam en Haarlem.

Een hypotheek tijdens je PhD

Om maar meteen een misverstand op te helderen: een hypotheek krijgen tijdens je promotieonderzoek is vaak wél mogelijk!

Dankzij de goede toekomstperspectieven van PhD’ers hebben verschillende hypotheekaanbieders een speciaal beleid voor deze doelgroep. Afhankelijk van je situatie is vaak meer mogelijk dan je denkt. Viisi’s adviseurs weten hoe je jouw aanvraag goed kan voorbereiden en denken graag met je mee.

Plan een vrijblijvende afspraak

Op deze pagina

Kan ik in mijn phd-situatie een hypotheek krijgen, een voorbeeld: de phd-hypotheek van thomas & anna, zo helpt viisi jou als promovendus wél aan een hypotheek, welke promovendi kunnen we helpen.

Of het mogelijk is om een hypotheek te verkrijgen tijdens je promotieonderzoek, hangt af van jouw situatie. Er zijn 3 situaties te onderscheiden.

1. Je bent al 3 jaar of meer met je promotieonderzoek bezig

Loopt je promotieonderzoek al 3 jaar en heb je 3 jaaropgaves die dit aantonen? Dan is het mogelijk om een hypotheek aan te vragen op basis van flexinkomen.

Wanneer de koopsom onder de NHG-grens (€ 435.000) ligt , kan je ook aanspraak maken op een NHG-hypotheek .

2. Je bent korter dan 3 jaar met je promotieonderzoek bezig en je kunt een intentieverklaring krijgen

Omdat de gemiddelde promotie 4 tot 5 jaar duurt, heeft een arbeidsovereenkomst meestal een tijdelijk karakter. Hierdoor is het verkrijgen van een intentieverklaring voor PhD’ers niet gebruikelijk.

Er zijn natuurlijk uitzonderingen: mogelijk heb je al afgesproken dat je aan de universiteit of aan je werkgever verbonden blijft. Vraag altijd na of je in aanmerking komt voor een intentieverklaring.

Wanneer de koopsom onder de NHG-grens (€ 435.000) ligt, kan je met een intentieverklaring aanspraak maken op een NHG-hypotheek . Ligt de koopsom boven de NHG-grens? Dan kan een extra motivatie nodig zijn. Overleg dit goed met je adviseur.

3. Je bent nog geen 3 jaar met je promotieonderzoek bezig en je kunt geen intentieverklaring krijgen

Wanneer je geen intentieverklaring kunt krijgen en nog geen 3 jaaropgaves kunt overleggen, betekent dit niet per definitie dat je geen hypotheek kunt krijgen. Er zijn zeker mogelijkheden.

Zo zijn er verschillende geldverstrekkers die een speciaal beleid hebben voor PhD’ers. Er wordt dan gekeken naar jouw specifieke situatie: bijvoorbeeld in welk vakgebied je promoveert en of je een goed toekomstperspectief op de arbeidsmarkt kunt aantonen. In veel situaties kun je zo toch in aanmerking komen voor een hypotheek.

Weten wat er voor jou mogelijk is?

Dankzij onze uitgebreide ervaring met promovendi kunnen wij een goede inschatting maken van jouw mogelijkheden. Neem vrijblijvend contact met ons op, dan denken we met je mee!

Plan een afspraak

Als Thomas (24) en Anna (26) een afspraak maken met de Viisi-adviseur hebben ze net een bod gedaan op een mooi appartement. De koopsom is € 275.000. Een bedrag dat ze op basis van hun beide inkomens en werksituaties makkelijk kunnen lenen, zo hebben ze online berekend .

Anna werkt in de IT en heeft een contract voor onbepaalde tijd. Thomas heeft natuurkunde gestudeerd en is na zijn studie direct met een promotieonderzoek gestart, waarvoor hij in dienst is bij de universiteit.

Hun financieringsmogelijkheden

In de praktijk valt het verkrijgen van financiering hen echter flink tegen. Veel van de geldverstrekkers die ze hebben benaderd, willen alleen het inkomen van Anna meetellen in de hypotheekberekening. Op alleen Anna’s inkomen kunnen ze de koopsom echter niet financieren. Dit terwijl Thomas een vergelijkbaar salaris verdient bij de universiteit. Bovendien hebben ze de afgelopen jaren flink gespaard en zijn er geen (studie)schulden .

Het probleem: een contract voor bepaalde tijd

Het struikelpunt voor de meeste geldverstrekkers is dat Thomas een contract heeft voor bepaalde tijd. Er is geen intentie om het dienstverband daarna om te zetten in een vast dienstverband. Een situatie die zeer gebruikelijk is in de academische wereld.

Slechts een beperkt deel van de promovendi blijft immers bij de universiteit werken. Het overgrote deel start een veelal succesvolle carrière in het bedrijfsleven – binnen of buiten het eigen vakgebied. In de standaard acceptatie-eisen van geldverstrekkers wordt hier geen rekening mee gehouden, weten we bij Viisi.

Viisi overtuigt de hypotheekaanbieder

De Viisi-adviseur deelt daarom zijn kennis met de acceptanten van de hypotheekaanbieders inclusief onderbouwde informatie over de goede toekomstperspectieven van natuurkunde-promovendi. Mede door deze informatie besluit de geldverstrekker het inkomen van Thomas toch mee te nemen bij de financiering. Thomas en Anna kunnen daardoor het appartement toch kopen!

Benieuwd naar jouw mogelijkheden?

Ben je benieuwd wat er in jouw situatie mogelijk is? Maak dan een vrijblijvende telefonische afspraak met één van onze adviseurs.

Menig promovendus stelt het kopen van een huis dus onterecht uit. Wij willen dat daar verandering in komt.

Promovendi vallen vaak buiten de standaard acceptatiecriteria van geldverstrekker, maar geldverstrekkers kunnen hiervan afwijken, mits goed gemotiveerd. Veel hangt af van de voorbereiding van de hypotheekaanvraag.

Viisi begrijpt de situatie van promovendi én de criteria die een rol spelen bij financiering.

Grotere rol voor opleidingsniveau en carrièreperspectief

Het aantal vaste arbeidscontracten neemt al jaren af. Voor veel hypotheekaanbieders is dit een reden om naar andere criteria te kijken dan naar het arbeidscontract alleen. Opleidingsniveau en carrièreperspectief spelen steeds vaker een rol, wat in het voordeel van promovendi kan zijn.

Wij willen deze trend versnellen. Dat doen wij onder andere door het financieel potentieel van PhD’ers bij geldverstrekkers onder de aandacht te brengen.

Carrièreperspectief biedt zekerheid

De promovendus heeft na afronding van de studie snel een baan, waarin hij of zij meestal goed verdient. Zeker bij een promotieonderzoek op medisch, juridisch of technisch gebied.

Wij kennen de juiste hypotheekaanbieders

Wij weten precies welke hypotheekaanbieders in hun toetsingsbeleid rekening houden met promovendi. Dit kan bij ongeveer kwart van alle geldverstrekkers.

We snappen wat een PhD inhoudt

Door jarenlange ervaring met de hoogopgeleide doelgroep weten wij wat de doorslag geeft bij het verkrijgen van een hypothecaire financiering. We merken dat banken relatief onbekend zijn met promovendi, en leggen daarom regelmatig aan hypotheekacceptanten uit wat een promotieonderzoek is.

PhD position summary/title :– PhD: An Intervention for Non-suicidal Self-injury and Depression through a Culturally-sensitive Chat

Dutch-Turkish and Dutch-Moroccan communities are the largest communities with a non-Western background in the Netherlands. These communities face a pressing mental health issue: depression hits them more frequently (15.1% for first generation and 13.0% for second generation; for third generation, numbers are unknown) than the native Dutch population (8.2%). Also, relapses are common among this population (25.4% to 27.9%). This inequality is a critical public health concern, particularly because depressive symptoms can lead to a cascade of adverse outcomes, such as NSSI, a behaviour associated with significant distress and elevated  suicide rates. Further, Turkish or Moroccan migrants infrequently seek professional help or engage in secondary prevention (i.e., prevention of the worsening of symptoms and relapses) for their mental health problems in part due to stigma/taboo, low mental health literacy, mistrust, privacy concerns, negative attitudes, and low intentions.

This project aims to develop a personalized culturally-sensitive chatbot-based intervention that allows three generations of Dutch-Moroccan and Dutch-Turkish migrants with depression and/or NSSI to engage in secondary prevention.

PhD position summary/title :–PhD MediaMinds – Computational Mechanisms of Social Media Use in Youth

We have an urgent need to better understand the social media engagement of youth. Social media supports the specific developmental needs of youth, such as those for social connection. However, the increased sensitivity of the developing brain to social rewards may place youth especially at risk of compulsive use. In addition, youth’s sensitivity to social influence exposes another potential vulnerability, given that not all information is trustworthy. In this project we will focus on novel computational models to capture the complex interactions between developing motivational and cognitive processes, and specific social media affordances. We will take a multi-method approach relying on social media trace data, experience sampling, the development of novel ecologically valid experimental tasks, and neuroimaging.

PhD position summary/title :–PhD Project: Value-Creation with Marginalized Stakeholders

This PhD project will advance knowledge on firms’ inclusion and exclusion of marginalized stakeholders, guided by the overarching research question: ‘What is stakeholder marginalization, and when and how do firms engage marginalized stakeholders in value-creation?’ Marginalized stakeholders are stakeholders that are to some degree invisible to managers due to low physical, social, and/or psychological proximity, and that have limited opportunity to decide whether and how to participate in firm-led activities. Such stakeholders are, for example, stakeholders who are subject to negative externalities, are associated with vulnerable social identities, belong to lower social classes, or are stigmatized due to their physical disabilities, mental health conditions, or sexual orientations. While scholars have suggested that engaging with marginalized stakeholders may enable firms to identify new opportunities for sustainable value-creation and social innovation, little is currently known about how firms deal with the inherent challenges of achieving this.

PhD position summary/title :–PhD Position in Code-Based Cryptography

Are you fascinated by the theoretical underpinnings of security that allow for protecting privacy in an ever more interconnected world? Are you willing to take on the challenge of upgrading cryptography to deal with the threat posed by quantum computation? Do you enjoy working in a team of young and motivated researchers? We are seeking a PhD student to carry out cutting-edge research in theoretical computer science, with an expected focus on code-based cryptography. 

Cryptography’s task is to provide tools for maintaining the privacy and integrity of digital data. Unfortunately, almost all currently deployed public-key cryptography is known to be vulnerable if an attacker has access to a quantum computer. Given the near-term deployment of quantum computing technologies, the time to deploy post-quantum secure cryptography is now. 

Code-based cryptography not only offers plausible security against quantum attacks; it also leads to practically efficient implementations of powerful cryptography such as secure multiparty computation and (non-)interactive proofs. However, our theory of its security is severely wanting. Firstly, unlike its close cousin of lattice-based cryptography, we lack a satisfactory theory of security reductions. Secondly, many recent proposals lack sufficient cryptanalysis. The aim of this PhD project is to fill in these holes and thereby offer a better foundation for the security of code-based cryptography.

PhD position summary/title :–PhD Position: Nanophotonic Metasurfaces for “Designer” Building-integrated PV Panels

Are you a highly motivated physicist with a strong interest in nanotechnology and photovoltaics? The 2D Nanophotonics group within the Institute of Physics is seeking an ambitious PhD candidate to perform fundamental research at the interface of nanophotonics and photovoltaic material physics for the project  High-efficiency metasurfaces for “designer” building-integrated PV .

Integrating large-scale photovoltaics (PV) in densely populated areas poses an urgent need to integrate PV with existing buildings and infrastructure. However, large-scale building-integrated PV (BIPV) hinges on social acceptance, which is strongly improved if the visual appearance of the PV panels matches that of the surrounding structures. Optical coatings that alter the visual appearance provide a unique opportunity to manipulate the reflected spectrum of a solar panel using reflective filters or luminescent coatings. Initial demonstrations prove promising, but are typically inefficient, provide only partial colouring, or exhibit a strong angle-dependence.

Project 1: Dire straits  

This project will research precarious forms of moonlighting in seven advanced economies (Denmark, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, the United Kingdom and the United States). 

The PhD researcher will start with a literature review on precarious forms of multiple jobholding, and integrate labour law analysis and policy analysis in the initial sections of his or her dissertation. The empirical articles will be based on analyses of the large-scale, international survey data and will investigate the measurement and classification of precarious forms of multiple jobholding, the quality of work among multiple jobholders, their characteristics, and the relation with their contexts. Research questions include: who are the multiple holders combining ‘bad jobs’? And how static or dynamic are dimensions of quality and total worker wellbeing across time? The final empirical article will be based on analyses of dynamic app data and analyses the stability or dynamics of the quality and total worker wellbeing among precarious multiple jobholders.  

Supervisors:  Dr. Wieteke Conen  (AIAS-HSI/ UvA),  Prof. dr. Maarten Keune  (AIAS-HSI/ UvA)  

Project 2: Career pathways 

This project will research transitions, career development and wellbeing of multiple jobholders in seven advanced economies (Denmark, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, the United Kingdom and the United States). 

The PhD researcher will start with a literature review on human capital accumulation and skills diversification among multiple jobholders, and integrate policy analysis in the initial sections of his or her dissertation. The empirical articles will be based on analyses of the large-scale, international survey data on getting to a classification of quality of work and wellbeing among multiple jobholders and the influence of meso-level factors on prevalence, quality and wellbeing. Research questions include: how do industries, competition and organisations affect workers’ behaviour to start working multiple jobs? How do organisations enhance or deteriorate the quality of work and wellbeing of multiple jobholders? Under what conditions do multiple jobholders develop skills that can be transferred between jobs? How does human capital accumulation in one or more of the jobs affect later working life? The final empirical article will be based on analyses of the dynamic app data and analyses the embeddedness of multiple jobholding.

PhD position summary/title :–PhD Position on Linguistic Representation of Gender in Translated Children’s Literature

Children’s literature plays a crucial role in shaping societal values and cultural norms. Stories serve as a significant means through which beliefs about sociocultural phenomena, such as gender are formed in children. The project  Tales and Tongues across Time: A Linguistic Exploration of a Century of Gender Representation in Children’s Books in the Netherlands  aims to explore how gender representation in the language of children’s books has evolved over the past century (1925-2025) in the Netherlands. This study will analyze original Dutch books and translations from English and Scandinavian languages, focusing on linguistic elements like pronouns, nouns, adjectives, and verbs to understand changes in gender portrayal over time and and in the process of translation and transcreation. Applying distant reading methods, the research aims to uncover how societal values reflected in language evolve and impact cultural norms.

As a PhD candidate, you will engage in the  Tales and Tongues across Time  project. You will have the freedom to apply your own interpretation of the research topic. You compile your own corpus and design your own studies within the scope of the project. A more extensive description of the research project is available upon request.

PhD position summary/title :–PhD Candidate in Nanomaterials: Developing Luminescent Nanocrystal Layers for Spectral Shaping

The Aim of your project is to develop fluorescent nanocrystal layers for spectral shaping, to enhance photosynthetic efficiency. Recent nanoscience breakthroughs allow the synthesis of fluorescent semiconductor nanocrystals with near-unity quantum yield, offering great opportunities as spectral shapers to convert the solar spectrum to the needs of agricultural crops and algae. At the same time, substantial knowledge is available on the effect of (artificial) lighting on the growth of algae. In this project, we combine both worlds and develop light-shaping nanocrystal foils with possible photonic outcoupling to investigate their potential for algal yield enhancement. The research will be carried out in an inspiring interdisciplinary collaboration, in the nanocrystal and optics labs of Prof. P. Schall at UvA, and Algae Parc at Wageningen University.

You will develop and synthesize highly efficient semiconductor nanocrystals with the desired absorption/emission spectrum, especially recent lead-halide perovskites and related 2D perovskite nanocrystals, and evaluate their optical performance. The nanocrystals will be embedded into optically characterised polymer layers, optimised for best performance. One possible route is to design an outcoupling structure, through modelling and fabrication, to extract the light that is internally trapped in the layers. To achieve the desired light spectrum, a combination of NCs will be employed to convert UV/blue light (350-460 nm) to yellow and red (560-680 nm), which are considered the most effectively used by microalgae for photochemical conversion. The combination of different emitters with partially overlapping spectra requires consideration of their energy transfer, ensuring efficient light absorption and emission. Furthermore, since overheating is a common problem for algal cultivation, including IR-blocking nanoparticles can be explored to protect the culture from this part of the solar spectrum.

PhD position summary/title :–PhD in Stochastics and Optimization

This PhD research initiative aims to develop queueing models to model waiting time to healthcare services in developing countries, and then develop optimization methods to solve the final nonlinear optimization model. Moreover, it could be the case that discrete-event simulation is needed to calculate the waiting time. One of the options could be to use Machine Learning for Model Learning. Moreover, the aim is to combine the facility location problem with the capacity problem (queueing models). More precisely, you will develop an optimization method to optimize both the number and locations of the facilities, and the capacities, such that the overall time to treatment (travel time + waiting time) is minimized and the costs are less than the available budget. Our partnerships with many NGO’s provide us with access to pertinent data for this research. Visits to healthcare services in one or more of the developing countries are possible, but are not compulsory.

PhD position summary/title :–PhD Eco-evolutionary Dynamics in the Infant Microbiome

In humans, gut and oral microbiota develop rapidly during early life and are essential for our health during infancy and later in life. Many factors impact this development, including delivery modes and physical contact with family members, but also various ecological and evolutionary processes that act within the infants.

Recent genomic advances now enable strain-level characterization of the microbiome, paving the way for a deeper understanding of how host-associated microbial communities develop over time, ultimately aiming to predict efficient interventions to improve human health outcomes. Exciting questions include, for example, which microorganisms are transmitted from mothers to newborns, and do their strains persist during infant development? How do early life experiences impact the microbiome? Does within-infant microbiome evolution shape microbial communities, and does this vary with age and across body sites? Do Archaea, microbial symbionts parasitizing other microbes, and microbial viruses play a role in health and disease?

PhD position summary/title :–PhD in Computational Prediction of Nanoplastic Impact on Protein Function

Do you enjoy working on interdisciplinary research at the crossroads of physics, chemistry, biology and computational science? Are you interested in using simulations and artificial intelligence to understand key molecular processes for human and planetary health? The  Van ‘t Hoff Institute for Molecular Sciences  (HIMS) and the  Informatics Institute (IvI)  are looking for an ambitious PhD student to develop and apply an automated computational framework for the prediction of nanoplastic impact on protein function. This research will be part of the  Computational Soft Matter Lab .    At the molecular level, complex physicochemical processes can be understood in terms of free-energy landscapes, which map metastable states and pathways onto key system descriptors. These surfaces can be explored via advanced simulations; exploiting machine learning and data mining to find optimal descriptors and boost the sampling of functional dynamics. Most importantly, in silico we can predict changes in the shape of these landscapes, identifying valleys and channels sculpted by internal or external factors. You will work on predicting nanoplastic-induced changes to a protein’s free-energy landscape—i.e., structure and function—and collaborate with various computational and experimental groups to confirm your predictions.

Two PhD positions for Attachment: In vivo, in silico, in theory

Updated: 28 Aug 2024

• add to favourites

In their first year of life, babies develop trust in their caregivers. This trust enables them to explore their environment and learn. However, caregivers exhibit different levels of sensitive responsiveness, leading to various types of attachment relationships. The exact mechanisms and timing of these differences remain unknown. To measure attachment development, research conducted in the everyday home environment is essential. In this project you will employ novel techniques for automated, long-term measurement of attachment and caregiver-child interaction embedded in the home, using video, audio, position tracking, and physiology (the ‘in vivo’ part of the project). Based on this, you will construct a computational, agent-based model that interactively illuminates attachment development and explains variations in attachment relationships (the ‘in silico’ part). As a result, you open up the field for a transparent, testable, and consequential elaboration of attachment theory for which John Bowlby laid the foundations in the 1950s (the ‘in theory’ part). While attachment research in the 1970s started with researchers following mothers and babies with their notepads for hours, days, weeks, and months on end, new technologies are now available to obtain more detailed and more objective data on the subtle ways in which babies, mother, fathers, and other caregivers interact with each other. The project invites caregivers to be co-researchers with our team in this endeavor and develop this approach so that computer modelling of attachment relationships can become a welcome addition to traditional measurement. As a computationally oriented behavioral scientist or a behaviorally oriented computer scientist, you will work with a team of researchers versed in attachment research, computational social science, early life social interaction and neuroscience, behavioral AI, and parenting support. Furthermore, with the team of the Generations2- cohort study, you will recruit a sample of infants and caregivers in and around Amsterdam who are as curious as we are in how these early and intimate human bonds develop. During workshops and work visits in London, Cambridge, Glasgow, and Amsterdam you will learn to work with wearables and equipment placed in the homes and the lab.

Requirements:

We are particularly looking for you if you:

• want to broaden your skills and expertise beyond your primary training in either social and behavioral sciences (e.g., psychology, educational sciences, epidemiology) or computer sciences and technology (e.g., informatics, data science, artificial intelligence, computational science, bioinformatics)
• are comfortable with coding in R, Python, or Matlab
• enjoy working as a team
• demonstrate good academic writing skills
• are keen to combine reading, coding, and writing with engaging with families, seeking to flexibly bridge science and practice
• are proficient in academic English and can independently use Dutch with research participants (at least B1 level or well-underway towards that)
• are interested in the possibilities of human-oriented technology

As a university, we strive for equal opportunities for all, recognising that diversity takes many forms. We believe that diversity in all its complexity is invaluable for the quality of our teaching, research and service. We are always looking for talent with diverse backgrounds and experiences. This also means that we are committed to creating an inclusive community so that we can use diversity as an asset. We realise that each individual brings a unique set of skills, expertise and mindset. Therefore we are happy to invite anyone who recognises themselves in the profile to apply, even if you do not meet all the requirements.

Salary Benefits:

A challenging position in a socially engaged organisation. At VU Amsterdam, you contribute to education, research and service for a better world. And that is valuable. So in return for your efforts, we offer you:

• a salary of € 2.770,00 (PhD) and maximum € 3.539,00 (PhD) gross per month in the fourth year, for a full-time employment
• an employment contract of initially 1 year. If there is sufficient perspective, this will be extended to a total of 4 years. Your dissertation at the end of the fourth year forms the end of your employment contract.

We also offer you attractive fringe benefits and arrangements. Some examples:

• A full-time 38-hour working week comes with a holiday leave entitlement of 232 hours per year. If you choose to work 40 hours, you have 96 extra holiday leave hours on an annual basis. For part-timers, this is calculated pro rata.
• 8% holiday allowance and 8.3% end-of-year bonus
• discount on (and occasionally exclusive access to) theater performances and courses at the Griffioen Cultural Center
• a wide range of sports facilities which staff may use at a modest charge
• contribution to commuting expenses
