Are you holding Master’s degree and looking for fully funded PhD positions? University of Antwerp, Belgium invites online application for multiple funded PhD Programs / fully funded PhD positions in various research areas.
Candidates interested in fully funded PhD positions can check the details and may apply as soon as possible. Interested and eligible applicants may submit their online application for PhD programs via the University’s Online Application Portal.
1. Fully Funded PhD Position in aquatic ecology
Summary of PhD Program:
This research project is carried out within the ECOSPHERE group of the University of Antwerp. The research of ECOSPHERE concentrates on the ecology of aquatic ecosystems and wetlands and the processes in the land-water interaction along the whole river continuum and the river-coastal sea interaction. The studied systems vary from small streams with riparian margins over larger rivers and floodplains to estuaries, from the scale of a single molecule to an entire ecosystem. These studies, both descriptive and experimental in nature, are integrated to predict the impact of different management options on the functioning and the biodiversity of the system.
Application Deadline: 31 January 2024
2. Fully Funded PhD Position in differential geometry and geometric mechanics
Summary of PhD Program:
You will work actively on the preparation and defence of a PhD thesis at the intersection of differential geometry and geometric mechanics, supervised by the Prof Tom Mestdag. This PhD position is funded by the research project “The differential geometry of nonholonomic mechanical systems” which aims at the study of the almost-symplectic geometry behind Lagrangian systems that are subjected to velocity-dependent (but non-integrable) constraints. The motion of a ball that rolls without slipping, or that of a skater are examples of such systems. The project combines elements of global analysis, differential geometry, dynamical systems and classical mechanics.
Application Deadline: December 18, 2023

3. Fully Funded PhD Position in Hyperspectral Image Analysis
Summary of PhD Program:
Hyperspectral imaging reveals material properties that are not visible to the human eye. Different from laboratory-based analytical methods (X-ray diffraction, electron microscopy, etc…), it is a spatially resolved, fast, easy, non-destructive technique with great potential for in situ monitoring and quality control purposes. The PhD will develop hyperspectral data analysis techniques for quantitative estimation of material properties, which are based on physical modelling, geometric principles, and artificial intelligence. The developed methods will be validated for a variety of applications, ranging from industrial quality control to applications in ecology, forensics, and cultural heritage.
Application Deadline: 14 December 2023
4. Fully Funded PhD Position in vivo MR Imaging in animal models of Huntington’s disease
Summary of PhD Program:
The Bio-Imaging Lab, Department of Biomedical Sciences in the Faculty of Pharmaceutical, Biomedical, and Veterinary Sciences is looking for a full-time (100%) doctoral scholarship holder in the field of in vivo MR Imaging in animal models of Huntington’s disease
Application Deadline: February 15th 2024
5. Fully Funded PhD Position in neuroimmunology
Summary of PhD Program:
You will work actively on the preparation and defence of a PhD thesis Neuroimmunology. You will investigate the role of microglia, the immune cells of the brain, in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease. You will use iPSC-microglia, in vivo xenotransplantation models as well as CRISPR technology and molecular biology techniques to unravel the molecular mechanisms by which microglia interact with neurons and other brain cells in health and disease.
Application Deadline: 14 December 2023
6. Fully Funded PhD Position in neuroimmunology
Summary of PhD Program:
VIB-UAntwerp Center for Molecular Neurology – Labs of the Faculty of Pharmaceutical, Biomedical and Veterinary Sciences is looking for a full-time (100%) doctoral scholarship holder in the field of Neuroimmunology. You will be joining the lab of Dr. Emanuela Pasciuto which studies the complex interactions between the immune and nervous systems.
Application Deadline: 10th January 2024
7. Fully Funded PhD Position in investigating the molecular mechanisms involved in aneurysmal disease
Summary of PhD Program:
Within this setting, Prof. Dr. Bart Loeys and Prof. Dr. Aline Verstraeten are leading the cardiogenomics and functional genomics research groups. These groups’aim is to further elucidate the genetic, biochemical and molecular mechanisms by which aneurysmal disease is caused. The unique combination of clinical and molecular expertise within the group offers a platform for immediate translation and implementation of pathogenic knowledge into the daily clinical care, diagnostics and genetic counseling of patients and their relatives.
Application Deadline: 21st of December 2023

8. Fully Funded PhD Position in Interior Architecture
Summary of PhD Program:
The research group Henry van de Velde of the University of Antwerp (Faculty Design Sciences, Architecture and Interior Architecture) is looking for a full-time (100%) doctoral scholarship holder in the interdisciplinary field of Interior Architecture, focusing on sustainable scenography: applying circular principles to interior design of temporary exhibitions. This topic takes the vantage point of Interior Architecture in close connection to notions of sustainability in preventive conservation.
Application Deadline: 8 January 2024
9. Fully Funded PhD Position in Electromechanical engineering
Summary of PhD Program:
You will work actively on the preparation and defence of a PhD thesis in the field of electromechanical machine design for biomechanical applications. You will collaborate with orthopaedic surgeons to enhance patient care.
