Project Support - SAFE4ALL project

Job description

Within the SAFE4ALL project, there is the need for a person to develop policy reviews, report on scientific progress, and organize meetings between scientists and/or with stakeholders (including reporting). We are looking for someone who is used to academic reasoning and discussions to critically support progress of project scientists. This person will ensure smooth progress of the project and coordinate actions between different partners and external parties especially from Africa.

You will work in an interdisciplinary team with African and European partners. Travel to Africa and within Europe is likely to be part of the project activities.

About SAFE4ALL:

SAFE4ALL addresses food security, disaster management and migration issues with the prime objective to better support local and regional actors in decision-making to safeguard African foodsheds and to build resilience in communities across scales. The formulation and implementation of climate adaptation and resilience plans at the regional and local level needs to speed up rapidly to keep pace with projections of climate risks.

SAFE4ALL aims to harness the EU climate services landscape and leverage it with local knowledge from African case studies to co-create information and facilitate its uptake at the local to district and regional levels. SAFE4ALL advances the uptake of user-centred climate services in three carefully selected vulnerable regions across Africa, strengthening and expediting adaptation and resilience in those regions. Co-creation cases include services ranging from ecosystem management, agriculture and disaster management at time scales of near-real-time to seasonal forecasts.

Job requirements
Experience with scientific reporting and the organization of workshops and/or meetings.
Strong analytical thinking and affinity with science and scientific thinking and working with both African and European scientists.

Postdoc Aircraft Noise Computations from Installed Propeller-Fuselage Interaction

Job description

A key challenge for the successful deployment of Clean Aviation’s Ultra-Efficient Regional Aircraft (UERA) concept is the achievement of passenger acceptable cabin acoustic performance under stringent aircraft level constraints. In SILENTIUM, the UERA use case is defined as a hybrid-electric regional turboprop aircraft carrying more than 50 passengers, with expected entry into service from 2035.Turboprop aircraft generate a demanding noise and vibration environment, including low frequency tonal propeller components, broadband turbulent boundary layer excitation and structure borne transmission paths.

Cabin acoustic treatment is therefore an enabling element for the UERA concept, provided that selected solutions do not undermine the aircraft level efficiency gains targeted by Clean Aviation. TUD is advertising a Postdoc position to lead the characterization of installed propeller/TBL related excitations and their impact on fuselage with high fidelity simulations. Simulations at the isolated, installed and full scale aircraft level will be carried out to study the hydrodynamic forcing to the source of cabin noise in the present aircraft configuration.

Job requirements
The candidate should have:

• a MSc degree in Engineering, Physics or Mathematics, an area relevant to the subject,
• good analytical skills and a strong interest in performing experiments is required.
• a solid knowledge of signal processing and mathematical theories,
• advanced programming skills are advantageous for these positions.

As the project is part of a larger research program, practical interactions and collaborative skills are important too.

Doctoral Candidate (PhD) Position in Quantum Networks

Job description
QuTech, the research center of Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) is hiring for a Doctoral Candidate (PhD) position in partnership with the Questing Doctoral Network.

The QUESTING Doctoral Network is a European doctoral training initiative funded by the Horizon Europe Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA). The Doctoral Network’s aim is to address the major skills shortage in quantum technology by training researchers who will help build the future of secure and efficient communication networks: the Quantum Internet.

PhD project - Important the start date for this PhD is 1 st December 2026.

PhD Position Topic: Enhancing Entanglement Quality in Quantum Networks

We welcome applications for this Doctoral position whose goal is to expand, improve and evaluate our existing set of tools for improving the quality of entanglement between network nodes. Potential directions are improving techniques for entanglement distillation, potentially through a connection with error correction, and the use of discarding low-quality entanglement (cut-off time). We will use simulation and analytical calculation for doing so.
As part of the Doctoral Network collaboration his position includes research stays of few months at:

• University of Naples Federico II (UNINA), Italy.
• EURECOM, France.

In addition to these secondments, the position offers interdisciplinary training within the Doctoral Network.

Research groups
This project will be conducted within Tim Coopmans’ research group at QuTech, the quantum research institute of Delft University of Technology. The group focuses on the design of quantum networks and quantum circuits using techniques from (formal) computer science.

You will work closely with this growing team, where most members, including the first PhD candidates who joined in September last year, are at a similar stage of their research journey. The current group has a mixed BSc/MSc background, ranging from computer science to physics, electrical engineering and mathematics.

Here at QuTech, we are committed to fostering an inclusive and diverse research environment, and we strongly encourage applications from women and candidates from underrepresented groups, including but not limited to those from diverse cultural, socioeconomic, and educational backgrounds.

This commitment is reflected within the group as well: Tim Coopmans is a mentor in the WIQD mentorship programme (WIQD: "We In Quantum Development", formerly "Women In Quantum Development", https://www.wiqd.nl/).

Job requirements
We are looking for a motivated and creative researcher interested in working at the intersection of quantum technology, quantum information, and computer science. The role involves collaborating across disciplines, with opportunities to develop new skills, broaden your expertise, and engage with researchers from diverse backgrounds. Good communication skills and a willingness to learn are important for working effectively within and beyond the consortium.

Candidates should hold a Master’s degree in Computer Science, Physics, or a closely related field. Exposure to quantum computing or quantum information through coursework or equivalent experience is required.

Please also note the ‘mobility rule’ below.

Funding requirements
This PhD position is funded by the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) Doctoral Network and is therefore subject to its mobility rule: applicants must not have resided or carried out their main activity (work or studies) in the Netherlands for more than 12 months in the 36 months prior to the recruitment date.
