We will also encourage you to attend and present your work at relevant workshops and conferences. Creativity revolves around generating ideas or products that are both original and useful. Teachers can nurture this capability by providing challenging problem-solving tasks within specific domains. During these assignments, children should assess whether their solutions are indeed creative. This self-assessment is important because it drives the decision to continue or abandon the search for alternative solutions. Research on self-assessment shows that most children either overestimate or underestimate how creative their solutions to a problem actually are. Teachers have an important role here as they can help children improve their self-assessment accuracy. The goal of this project, therefore, is to investigate how teachers can effectively and adaptively support children in accurately assessing their creativity.

PhD Candidate: Enhancing Marketing Interactions Using Virtual Humans
Radboud University Nijmegen, Nijmegen
Would you buy something from a virtual human? Why or why not? And how would you want a virtual human to interact with you? These questions are at the core of this PhD trajectory. If you would like to develop an innovative research project at the intersection of communication, marketing and artificial intelligence, then you may be the PhD candidate we are looking for! Virtual humans are increasingly being used in the marketing of commercial services and products, in particular via social media. They can handle or support a wide range of customer interactions, freeing up human agents to focus on more complex tasks. One example are virtual humans that recommend products or offer customer service via social media. Virtual humans are unique in their ability to mimic human communication using communication channels such as speech and text, as well as facial expressions and gestures. The use of such cues has been found to induce a perception of humanness in users, which can enhance users' relationships with them (e.g. trust, liking). However, using these cues is not a one-size-fits-all solution and more is not always better. Yet, which social cues can best be used to build a relationship with the customer has remained underexplored. As a result, companies and organisations are not yet making optimal use of virtual humans in their marketing strategy. Current user experience research relies mainly on self-reported measures, prone to biases like socially desired responses. Incorporating objective measures such as EEG, fMRI, skin conductance, eye tracking, or emotion recognition from neuroscience and physiology could offer deeper insights into user-virtual human relationships. In this PhD project, you will therefore investigate user-agent interactions and the role of social cues in these interactions using neuroscience and physiological measurements alongside traditional methods. The project allows flexibility in choosing specific research focuses. As a PhD Candidate, you will initiate, develop and execute several studies. You will write scientific papers, resulting in the completion of a PhD thesis at the end of your employment contract. You will participate in supervision meetings and staff meetings of the Communication Science department as well as other relevant research meetings. You will be embedded in the Communication & Media research programme, which is part of the Behavioural Science Institute (BSI). As a member of the BSI Graduate School PhD programme, you will be expected to complete several courses related to the basic professional skills of scientific researchers such as presentation skills, scientific integrity, and data management. We also encourage you to attend and present your work at relevant workshops and conferences. As part of your PhD position, you will have a 10% teaching load and the opportunity to work towards the university teaching qualification.Requirements: You hold a Master's or Research Master's degree in Behavioural Science, Communication Science, Psychology, Artificial Intelligence, Neuroscience or Marketing.You have good research, methodological and statistical skills.You preferably have experience with quantitative- and qualitative research and neuroscience or physiological response measurements, or are willing to acquire these skills.You have affinity with consumer marketing, technology and virtual humans.You have good social skills and you are a team player.You like to think outside the box and are interested in learning and thinking across disciplines.You have good written and spoken English language skills as required for scientific publishing.Salary Benefits: We will give you a temporary employment contract (1.0 FTE) of 1,5 years, after which your performance will be evaluated.

PhD position in Tackling Fixophobia: Addressing the consumer side in the move towards a repair economy for electronic products
Wageningen UR (University & Research centre), Wageningen
Have you ever wondered why consumers tend to replace their electronic devices instead of repairing them? Are you motivated to delve into the psychological processes underlying consumers’ decisions regarding the repair (or not) of their owned products? Are you enthusiastic about developing and empirically testing innovative (marketing) ways to motivate consumers towards repair? If so, then we have the perfect opportunity for you! The Marketing and Consumer Behaviour group of Wageningen University is looking for an enthusiastic and ambitious PhD candidate to fulfil an essential position in the NWO funded project “Tackling fixophobia: Improving repair practices for consumer electronics”. The project aims to develop a circular economy for consumer electronics. In today’s linear economy, the rapid replacement of consumer electronics leads to CO2-emissions, resource scarcity, e-waste and pollution, thereby providing important environmental and societal challenges. Extending the lifetimes of consumer electronics is essential to tackle these challenges. A repair economy in which all value chain actors (incl. consumers) adopt repair practices can lead to such extended product lifetimes. Yet, currently all relevant actors experience barriers that withhold them from trusting, accepting, and adopting repair practices, leading to ‘Fixophobia’. In general, the “Tackling Fixophobia” project aims to provide the much-needed scientific theories, societal tools, and repair system innovations to encourage a multi-actor system change and enhance trust, acceptance and adoption of repair practices for consumer electronics. To achieve societal impact, we collaborate intensely with a unique consortium, including all actors in the consumer electronics value chain: Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), (design) consultancies, retail, repair organisations, consumer organisations, network/trade organisations, and waste organisation. Three PhD students will work on this project (for more information, see: NWO-KIC Circular Economy). In the current PhD position, you will work together with all project partners, and investigate the consumer perspective. Your responsibility will be to examine the factors that influence consumers’ repair behaviour, to develop a taxonomy of marketing and service innovations for repair, and to develop interventions that stimulate consumers to engage in repair practices. This will result in the development of a marketing repair tool and a thorough understanding of the consumer perspective. Moreover, in the final project you will intensively collaborate with the design (TU Delft), value chain (University of Maastricht) and law partners (Erasmus University) to together develop an integrated framework on repair. Interdisciplinary research is thus a valuable part of the project. You will work here The Marketing and Consumer Behaviour group is one of the leading research and teaching groups in the fields of marketing (research) and consumer behavior related to food, sustainability, and agribusiness. The research is led by Dr. Ilona de Hooge. You will be co-supervised by Prof. Dr. Hans van Trijp and Prof. Dr. Ruth Mugge (Delft University). As a PhD candidate, you will be enrolled in the Wageningen University Graduate School (WASS). The Graduate school provides an inspiring research environment with an excellent team of supervisors, academic staff, and a mentor. You will also participate in a Doctorate Education Programme, in which you further develop your research, teaching, and interdisciplinary skills.Requirements: You have: a completed MSc University degree;background in consumer behavior (e.g. consumer science, marketing, social psychology, behavioral economics).

PhD position in Machine-learning-enabled Substrate Specificity Analysis of Carbohydrate-acting Enzymes from the Gut Microbiome
Wageningen UR (University & Research centre), Wageningen
Would you like to participate in an exciting interdisciplinary applied science project involving both academic and industry partners to study how the microbiome is able to help humans digest diverse fibers? Do you enjoy collaboration and teamwork while being at the cutting edge of scientific progress? If yes , then this may be the perfect position for you! The Host-Microbe Interactomics Group together with Bioinformatics Group at Wageningen University are looking for a PhD candidate with expertise in protein structure bioinformatics and machine learning, who is also not afraid to participate in wet-lab experiments to generate the best possible training datasets. The human gut microbiome plays a crucial role in our health, and consuming dietary fiber has been shown to significantly impact its composition and metabolic function. However, many people in industrialized countries lack sufficient fiber intake, which can lead to a decline in gut microbial diversity and reduced production of health-promoting compounds. Metagenomic sequencing of the gut microbiome has generated a catalogue of carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZymes) that can be found in the human gut microbiome, which are responsible for degrading dietary fibers and generating beneficial metabolites. To capitalize on this knowledgebase, the ambitious FIBERME project aims to use Artificial Intelligence (AI) to predict the human microbiome's response to dietary fibers. Within this public-private partnership, a PhD position is available within the Host-Microbe Interactomics and Bioinformatics chair groups at WUR. In this project, you will use microbiome data mining approaches in combination with results obtained in high-throughput functional screens to chart the functional diversity of CAZymes in the human gut. Based on these data, you will train state-of-the-art machine learning models based on both sequence and structural features to predict the substrate specificities and catalytic activities of these enzymes. Iterative feedback cycles between computational models and wet-lab experiments that will be performed within the FIBERME project will lead to increasingly accurate predictions of enzyme function that can be validated within the FIBERME project via microbiome analyses obtained during fiber consumption intervention trials in healthy volunteers.Requirements: We are looking for an enthusiastic team player with all or a subset of the following skills: a solid academic record (MSc) in bioinformatics, biochemistry, microbiology or a related disciplineexperience in computational omics analysis and proficiency in programming (in, e.g., Python)at least basic to intermediate statistical and mathematical skillsdemonstrable experience in working with protein structure data and/or machine learningaffinity with microbiology and metabolismteam player attitude, enjoying multidisciplinary sciencea very good level of oral and written English.

PhD in decision support system for designing transition pathways towards circular hospitals
Wageningen UR (University & Research centre), Wageningen
Would you like to contribute to making a more sustainable healthcare system? Are you passionate about steering and guiding the transition towards circular hospitals? Do you have a strong interest in developing and applying model-based decision support system for designing circular material management? If that's the case, an exciting PhD opportunity is waiting for you! What are you going to do? Hospitals are responsible for keeping local people healthy, but unfortunately this is fulfilled at a cost of environmental impact and hazards beyond the hospital. Their current operation and resource management practice result in excessive use of raw materials, generation of waste(water), and induces greenhouse gas emissions and other environmental hazards in the associated medical supply chain around the world. In The Netherlands, the health care sector is accounted for 7% of national emissions and 13% of national footprint of material extraction. EU and the Dutch government have called for a more sustainable and circular healthcare system. The healthcare professionals have also started pursuing a more sustainable material use and waste management in their systems. However, hospitals are dealing with a large variety of different (single use) medical consumables and transition of the entire sector will take decades. Moreover, circularity-based interventions may potentially compromise the hygiene and bring risk to patients and workers. A comprehensive technical-economic-environmental assessment of all potential circularity interventions and their trade-offs is required to prioritize actions and a decision-making framework is needed to design a dynamic and adaptive transition pathway towards circular hospitals. To guide and aid the transition towards circular hospitals, the urban system engineering (USE) team, part of the Environmental Technology group (ETE) from Wageningen University, is looking for a motivated PhD candidate to join our interdisciplinary research project focused on “developing decision support system for designing transition pathways towards circular hospitals”. The project belongs to a large research consortium “ESCH-R” (Evidence-based Strategies to create Circular Hospitals: Applying the 10-Rs framework to healthcare). Your duties and responsibilities include:to establish a novel design toolbox which embeds all crucial interventions and their trade-offs to aid a successful transition towards a circular hospital;to advise on how a transition towards circular hospitals could and should take place over time in a sustainable, safe and feasible manner;to iteratively develop, test and validate the toolbox and transition pathways with stakeholders from Dutch hospitals and their supply chains;publish the research findings, the toolbox and the transition pathway map in leading international academic journals and platforms, and communicate across disciplines, project partners and stakeholders;participate in the supervision of MSc and BSc thesis research and in the relevant teaching activities;become a team player and integral part within the urban system engineering team and contribute to our team cohesion.Requirements: you have an MSc degree in environmental sciences, environmental technology/engineering, environmental management, chemical engineering, bio-based sciences, or a related field from an internationally recognized two year master program taught in English or provide a recent English Proficiency Test IELTS of 7.0 (scores of at least 6.5 in all sections) or TOEFL of 100 (scores of at least 2.1 for all sections);you have knowledge of the technologies for treatment and/or management of (single use) commodities, preferably related to healthcare sectors;you have skills and experience with quantitative modeling, data analysis or decision support system in common programming language (e.g., R, Python or Julia);knowledge and proven experience with sustainability assessment (e.g., life cycle assessment) and/or operational research (e.g., mathematical optimization) is a strong plus;you are able to think in and work with multidisciplinary research approaches;you have proven relevant academic research experience, for example as part of a MSc- or BSc-thesis;you have affinity with working as a team player, proactive in your work, involved actively in your working environment and capable of independently addressing and solving research problems.For this position your command of the English language is expected to be at C1 level.

Phd position - Evaluation of restoration measures for fish in the River Meuse
Wageningen UR (University & Research centre), Wageningen
The Aquaculture and Fisheries group at Wageningen University is looking for an enthusiastic candidate who is interested to advance science by evaluating river restoration measures in the River Meuse (the Netherlands), with the aim to establish the role of habitat quality and connectivity for more resilient and robust freshwater fish populations. Fish are an essential element in the ecological functioning of aquatic ecosystems and have species-specific habitat requirements to fulfil their life cycle. For this reason, fish is one of the biological quality elements of the EU Water Framework Directive (WFD) to assess the ecological status of rivers, lakes and estuaries. However, wide-scale habitat changes, caused by intensive human use of freshwaters, have diminished the ecological quality of water bodies. Large rivers have been particularly affected by this. These rivers serve many purposes, such as inland water transport, requiring minimum depths and stable water levels, and have been modified accordingly, e.g. by the building of weirs, protecting banks and cutting of meanders. Protection against flooding of rivers, e.g. through the construction of dykes, led to a further reduction in the natural dynamics, and hence to decreased ecological quality. This led to specialised river fishes becoming rare or even locally extinct. To improve the ecological quality of the Meuse River Rijkswaterstaat (the executive agency of the Dutch Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management) has realised and planned a large number of diverse river restoration projects. These projects serve to explore which type and extent of measures are most effective in improving ecological quality within the context of the Water Framework directive (WFD), and how such measures could be optimised. Within this project the focus will be on the fish community, especially on species that prefer flowing waters (rheophilic species). One aim is to identify bottlenecks in the life cycle of these species, which requires monitoring of the occurrence of fishes in relation to habitat characteristics. Where possible a BACI (before-after-impact-control) approach will be applied. Within this project, you will work as a PhD student on developing new knowledge on the interactions between connectivity, quality and quantity of habitats for rheophilic fishes using proven and newly developed techniques, such as fyke monitoring, acoustic telemetry and mapping habitat conditions. Your duties and responsibilities include: perform fish monitoring and telemetry in collaboration with students, perform habitat assessments, and rigorously collect, store and process data;analysing this data critically, using advanced statistical techniques and with deep knowledge of the biological context.;collaborate with relevant stakeholders (in particular Rijkswaterstaat and regional water boards) to ensure relevance, enhance learning and enlarge data collection;lead a team of students/collaborators in the field.You will work here Research training and education at PhD level at Aquaculture and Fisheries group is integrated in the research program of the Graduate School ‘Wageningen Institute of Animal Sciences’ (WIAS), which aims to contribute to the sustainability of human-animal interactions through fundamental and strategic research. The aquaculture experts within AFI focus on fish nutrition and health in aquaculture production systems, while the fisheries and ecology experts study the ecology, biodiversity, and conservation of freshwater fishes, and population ecology and fisheries of marine fish species.Requirements: You have:excellent organizational skills, enabling coordination among scientists from different disciplines;strong communication and networking skills to facilitate collaboration with scientists from various disciplines as well as with stakeholders;interdisciplinary training or experience across social and natural sciences,which is an advantage;strong scientific writing skills (evident from your thesis and/or publications).You also possess:a masters degree in the field of biology, fisheries, aquatic ecology , physical geography, environmental science, water management or equivalent;a background in quantitative methods and statistical analysis; programming skills (Python, R, Matlab, or any related language), previous experience with large data analysis and/or GIS are an advantage;excellent command of written and spoken English;ability to speak Dutch which will be an advantage, also a willingness to learn Dutch is essential for effective collaboration with stakeholders;the qualifications to meet all the entry requirements of the WUR PhD programme.In our international working environment there is an increasing amount of communication in English.

PhD position on multi-breed multi-trait beef cattle international genomic evaluations for novel traits and small populations
Wageningen UR (University & Research centre), Wageningen
Are you looking for a PhD and interested in quantitative genomics? Do you want to develop innovative international genomic evaluations for sustainable beef cattle breeding using multi-country datasets? Then, this PhD vacancy may be of interest to you. The Animal Breeding and Genomics group at Wageningen University is looking for a PhD to take part in the PPP project “Towards multi-breed multi-trait beef cattle international genomic evaluations for novel traits and small populations”, a collaboration with ICAR (the Netherlands), SLU and Interbull Centre (Sweden), AHDB and SRUC (United Kingdom), ICBF (Ireland), and FedANA (Italy), and co-founded by the Dutch Ministry of Agriculture. Genetic progress on economically and socially relevant traits allows livestock species to meet societal demands in terms of sustainability, biodiversity, and food security. In this PhD project, you will contribute to unlocking the full potential of genomic prediction for the selection of novel sustainability traits across different countries and beef cattle breeds. Data on novel sustainability traits, such as feed efficiency and health traits, are increasingly collected on purebred and crossbred animals but across a wide range of breeds. Unfortunately, these datasets are of limited size in most countries because novel traits are difficult and expensive to measure. A strategy to unlock the full potential of genomic prediction for such traits is to jointly analyse these datasets collected in multiple countries and breeds. Moreover, data collected on genetically linked traits (i.e., indicator traits) can be used to further improve genomic prediction for novel traits. However, current beef cattle international evaluations that combine data across multiple countries are still performed one breed at a time and do not include genomic information yet. Therefore, as a PhD student, you will work on addressing this challenge by: developing and validating novel multi-breed multi-trait genomic international evaluations that simultaneously analyse pedigree and genomic information with phenotypes of multiple traits and recorded on animals of various breed compositions from multiple countries.quantifying the advantages and limits of the developed international evaluations using real datasets provided by different breeding organisations.disseminating your results to the involved industry partners and relevant stakeholders.Your other duties and responsibilities include: prepare and analyse datasets from multiple countries;communicate and disseminate results through presentations at scientific conferences and the writing of scientific articles and a PhD thesis;follow PhD courses as part of the graduation program.You will work here The research is embedded within the chair Animal Breeding and Genomics and member of the Wageningen Livestock Research team, which is led by Prof. Roel Veerkamp You will be co-supervised by Dr Renzo Bonifazi (WUR-ABG) and Dr Jeremie Vandenplas (WUR-ABG).Requirements: You are/have: a highly motivated person with a strong interest in using animal breeding as a means to achieve sustainable food production;interest in genomic prediction and statistical and quantitative genetics;interest in further developing your research skills and putting them into practice by developing solutions for real-case applications;high level of communication, writing, and presentation skills;fluent in spoken and written English ;ability to work in close contact with involved industry partners;ability to work in a team as part of a large international group of students and researchers;ability to work independently.You also possess: a successfully completed MSc degree in Animal Breeding and Genomics;experience in at least one scripting language: bash, R, Python, Julia (or similar);proven experience with analysing large-scale real (genomic) datasets;additional experience in one or more of the following subjects is highly desirable: genetic/genomic predictions combining purebred and crossbred data;estimation of genetic parameters;validation of genomic predictions;working with Linux and HPC systems;usage of software for large-scale genomic predictions: MiXBLUP, MiX99, BLUPF90 (or similar).For this position your command of the English language is expected to be at C1 level.
