Fully Funded Eindhoven University of Technology Scholarships & PhD Positions 2026–2027: 7+ Open Programmes

PhD in Acoustic Performance of Timber Structure Connections (QUIET-ARC) - Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e), Netherlands

Eindhoven University of Technology · Netherlands

Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) invites applications for a PhD position on the acoustic performance of timber structure connections, within the QUIET-ARC project. Timber construction is expanding rapidly as a low-carbon alternative to concrete and steel, but the acoustic behaviour of timber connections - where beams, panels and floors meet - remains hard to predict, limiting both comfort and code compliance.

PhD in Advanced Epitaxial Growth for InP-Based Photonic Integrated Circuits - Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e), Netherlands

Eindhoven University of Technology · Netherlands

Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) invites applications for a PhD position on advanced epitaxial growth for indium-phosphide (InP) based photonic integrated circuits. The doctoral project works with a state-of-the-art Aixtron epitaxy reactor to grow InP, InGaAsP and InAlGaAs heterostructures that form the active building blocks of integrated photonic devices.

PhD in Contrast Ultrasound Imaging of Nanobubbles for Cancer Diagnostics (NWO MOMENTUM) - Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e), Netherlands

Eindhoven University of Technology · Netherlands

Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) invites applications for a PhD position on contrast ultrasound imaging of nanobubbles for cancer diagnostics, funded within the NWO MOMENTUM programme. The project develops next-generation ultrasound contrast agents - nanoscale bubbles small enough to escape the vasculature and image tissue beyond blood vessels - and the imaging sequences needed to detect them sensitively and safely.

PhD in Dynamic Space-Time Interfaces for High-Speed THz Beam Control - Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e), Netherlands

Eindhoven University of Technology · Netherlands

Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) invites applications for a PhD position on dynamic space-time interfaces for high-speed terahertz (THz) beam control. The project develops dynamically modulated THz interfaces that can steer, shape and route terahertz beams at high speed, including nonreciprocal propagation effects that break the usual symmetry of wave transmission.

PhD: Natural Visual Patterns, Mental Wellbeing and Overheating Resilience - Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e), Netherlands

Eindhoven University of Technology · Netherlands

Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) invites applications for a PhD on natural visual patterns, mental wellbeing and overheating resilience. The project studies how natural visual patterns in the built environment relate to human wellbeing, and how these insights can be combined with overheating-resilience strategies as cities adapt to heat.

PhD in Spatiotemporal Light Generation with Frequency-Gradient Metasurfaces - Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e), Netherlands

Eindhoven University of Technology · Netherlands

Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) invites applications for a PhD position on spatiotemporal light generation with frequency-gradient metasurfaces. The project explores engineered metasurfaces that imprint controlled frequency gradients on ultrashort optical pulses, enabling ultrafast beam steering, temporal focusing and self-torque light beams.

PhD-TA in Statistics (Functional Data Analysis) - Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e), Netherlands

Eindhoven University of Technology · Netherlands

Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) is hiring a PhD-TA in statistics with a focus on functional data analysis. The position combines 80 percent doctoral research with 20 percent teaching-assistant duties in the Statistics research group of the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science.
