Korfball Trainer
Starting as soon as possible
Your job
As a korfball trainer, you are responsible for training and coaching both the competitive players and the recreational players of the student sports association Débaldérin. The association has over 40 (student) members. Training sessions take place on Tuesdays from 19:00–20:30 and Thursdays from 20:00–21:30 (alternative times may be arranged in consultation with the association) and are provided through Sports Centre de Bongerd in cooperation with Débaldérin. A typical training session has 15 to 20 members in attendance.

Débaldérin participates in the competition of the Dutch Korfball Association (KNKV), competing in both the midweek league and the Saturday league.
Your main task is to develop both competitive and recreational players, aiming to improve the level of play, increase enjoyment, and achieve competitive results.

In addition to regular training sessions, you will take part several times a year in team and staff meetings, training activities, WeDay, the AID, and/or staff outings. These activities take place outside your regular working hours.

Due to the large number of international students and staff, the language of instruction on campus (and at GVC) is largely English.

PhD in Light Management in All-Perovskite Tandem Solar Cells

All-perovskite tandem solar cells have recently achieved record efficiencies above 29%, demonstrating their enormous potential for next-generation photovoltaic technologies. Despite this rapid progress, optical losses still limit device performance. Reflection losses, parasitic absorption, and incomplete spectral splitting reduce the efficient use of sunlight in tandem architectures.
In this PhD project, you will develop innovative light-management concepts to minimize these optical losses and improve the efficiency of all-perovskite tandem solar cells. The work combines nanophotonic design, optical modelling, materials processing, and device fabrication.
The project is embedded in the national SolarNL initiative and includes collaborations with leading Dutch research institutes and industrial partners, including AMOLF and TNO.

You will investigate:

• Photonic and light-management structures for enhanced absorption in tandem solar cells
• Material growth strategies to reduce parasitic optical losses in e.g. transparent conducting oxides.
• Advanced spectral management concepts for improved current matching
• Optical simulations and modelling of multilayer photovoltaic devices
• Fabrication and characterization of optical coatings and perovskite tandem devices

PhD candidate 'Evaluation and Optimization of Photon-Counting CT for Advanced Chest Imaging'

Job description
Recent developments in photon-counting CT (PCCT) technology offer new opportunities to improve the diagnostic quality of chest imaging. With its ability to provide ultra-high-resolution (UHR) images and spectral information, PCCT has the potential to enhance the assessment of pulmonary and vascular diseases. However, the added clinical value of this technology in routine practice remains to be fully explored.

In this 4-year PhD project, we aim to investigate and establish the clinical potential of PCCT for chest imaging. The project will focus on identifying relevant clinical applications, exploring promising patient populations, and testing initial hypotheses regarding the added value of spectral imaging and super-high-resolution (SHR) imaging. The outcomes of this feasibility phase will guide the development of future large-scale clinical studies.

The project will be conducted as a team effort, in close collaboration with researchers within the department and clinicians involved in chest imaging and clinical research. This multidisciplinary setting ensures strong integration of technical developments with clinically relevant research questions.

Tasks will include:

• Designing and conducting feasibility studies, including study design and protocol development, for chest imaging using PCCT.
• Collaborating with clinicians to identify and recruit suitable patient populations.
• Analyzing and interpreting imaging and clinical data, including quantitative and AI-based approaches.
• Collecting and integrating non-radiological (clinical) data for comprehensive analysis.
• Optimizing imaging protocols and scanner workflow.
• Contributing to ethics applications and study preparation for follow-up research.
• Presenting findings at scientific meetings and preparing scientific publications.

This project offers a unique opportunity to work at the forefront of advanced CT imaging technology, in close collaboration with clinical and technical experts, and to help shape the future direction of chest imaging research.

PhD positions: Portable mass spectrometry for food toxin detection

Do you have a strong affinity for innovative mass spectrometry and delivering a positive impact on global food safety? Do you take joy in creative processes and are you driven by curiosity? Are you a go-getter? Do you excel at working in teams? Then we are looking for you!

We have a PhD position available at the laboratory of Organic Chemistry (Wageningen University) in close collaboration with Wageningen Food Safety Research. The PhD position is available in the NWO-funded VIDI project GPS4FoodSafety, which is focused on studying novel routes towards achieving molecular selectivity in ambient ionization for portable mass spectrometry – to detect natural toxins in crops and water at the point-of-need.

In this challenging project, you will work as a PhD student to develop novel approaches to impart chemical selectivity on easy-to-use sample probes that can be coupled to a portable mass spectrometer – and ultimately used outside the laboratory setting in food safety applications. The PhD project contributes to and collaborate on achieving this aim, yet have distinct focus. Please indicate whether you are interested in either or both PhD positions and in case of the latter specify preference:

You will focus on the chemical modification of cellulose paper to create highly selective solid-phase extraction devices to enrich targeted contaminants (plant toxins and cyanobacterial toxins). Moreover, 3D-printing and rapid prototyping will be applied to develop modular sample extraction and handling devices, as well as for integrating the selective probes with the portable mass spectrometer.

Relevant literature related to these positions can be found here:

• Interconnectable 3D-printed sample processing modules for portable mycotoxin screening of intact wheat - ScienceDirect
• Rapid analysis of Δ8-tetrahydrocannabinol, Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol, and cannabidiol in Δ8-tetrahydrocannabinol edibles by Ag(I) paper spray mass spectrometry after simple extraction - ScienceDirect
• Bifunctional Ti4+-modified paper for selective extraction or removal of phospholipids and paper spray mass spectrometry for bioanalysis in urine and plasma - ScienceDirect

Your duties and responsibilities include:

• You will collaborate to achieve the analytical workflows for molecular identification of toxins using portable mass spectrometry, which will be demonstrated in pilot studies together with the project stakeholders.
• You will be expected to develop research questions, experimental approaches and execute the experiments in the lab, and during the pilot studies. You will report on your findings to the scientific community via peer-reviewed publication, and conference contributions.
• You will take part in the education of students through supervision of BSc and MSc students in laboratory courses and thesis projects.
• You will be registered with the graduate school and receive training in both field-specific, general scientific and soft skills to facilitate your professionalisation and development as independent scientist.

You will work here
The project is a part of an NWO Vidi grant, GPS4FoodSafety, awarded to Dr. Gert Salentijn, which will be executed in the Laboratory of Organic Chemistry (Organic Chemistry - WUR), which is headed by Prof. Han Zuilhof. You will be supervised by Dr. Gert Salentijn with support by the other team members Dr. Laura Righetti and Prof. Han Zuilhof. The PhD project is a collaboration with Wageningen Food Safety Research.
