Are you looking to take your education and career to the next level? Do you have a passion for research and a desire to make meaningful contributions to your field of study? If so, a Postdoctoral Fellowships may be the perfect choice for you.
Attention all aspiring scholars and researchers! The University of Groningen, Netherlands has multiple postdoctoral fellowships. Apply to the University of Groningen’s postdoctoral fellowships today and take the first step towards a rewarding and fulfilling academic career.
1. Postdoctoral Fellowship
About Postdoctoral Position
The environmental changes caused by mining and oil drilling have elicited a variety of political responses, ranging from organised protest movements to more everyday ways of accommodating extraction. Why did some adopt violent tactics or take to the streets, while others sued mining companies over pollution? This project aims to historicise these political responses and to understand why people reacted differently to environmental transformation. The postdoctoral researcher will be part of a larger team (PI, two PhD students, and one postdoctoral researcher on cultural production), collaborating closely with the Universities of Port Harcourt, Copperbelt University, the University of Pretoria, and local partners (including NGOs).
Application Deadline: 14 August 2023
2. Postdoctoral Fellowship
About Postdoctoral Position
A rich corpus of literary and musical production has engaged with the environmental changes caused by mining and oil drilling. The novels and poetry by Tanure Ojaide, Helon Habila, Peter Abrahams, Mongane Wally Serote, and Mukuka Chipanta, and the music of Fela Kuti, Rikki Ililonga, and Ladysmith Black Mambazo are prominent examples. Why did some of these works depict extraction as relatively unremarkable, while others condemned its effects as ‘ecocide’? This project aims to historicise cultural production and to understand why people reacted differently to environmental change.

3. Postdoctoral Fellowship
About Postdoctoral Position
We are seeking up to two candidates for postdoc projects on the philosophical aspects of data science and data science use, with specific attention for the use of data science methods in psychopathology. The positions are located in the Department of Theoretical Philosophy but there are strong ties with researchers at the University Centre for Psychiatry. The PhD candidate will work on a philosophical project that covers philosophy of science, statistics and data science, and psychopathology.
Application Deadline: 21 June 2023
4. Postdoctoral Fellowship
About Postdoctoral Position
For the recently awarded project by TKI Top Sector Chemistry (ChemistryNL) on polyolefins recycling to aromatics, a post-doc position for the period of one year is available. In this project, University of Groningen and BioBTX are partnering to develop a potentially more energy-saving and cost-effective process known as hydrogenolysis. Hydrogenolysis of polyolefins produce liquid hydrocarbons, which could then be upgraded to aromatics, in particular benzene, toluene and xylenes (BTX). BTX are building blocks for high performance materials, e.g. aramid fibers used in aerospace and military applications.
Application Deadline: 16 June 2023
