1. Fully Funded PhD Position in quantifying and modelling marine and coastal ecosystem services
Summary of PhD Program:
The concept of ecosystem services has gained attention since the publications of Costanza et al. (1997) in Nature and the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment in 2005. The concept received increasing attention ever since, both from science and policy. The strong integrative and multidisciplinary character allows to make the link between ecology, economy and society, creating opportunities for better underpinned nature and environmental policy. Major advances have been made for the quantification and modelling of terrestrial ecosystem services but for the marine and coastal environment research, this is still in its infancy. Meanwhile, the intensity of use of marine and coastal ecosystems is accelerating (e.g. offshore wind parks, sand extraction, aquaculture…).

4. Fully Funded PhD Position in sleep disorders in Parkinson’s disease
Summary of PhD Program:
You will work actively on the preparation and defence of a PhD thesis in the field of sleep disorders in Parkinson’s disease. Your research work contributes within an international research project to the development of new biomarkers to detect Parkinson’s disease at an early or prodromal stage. For this purpose, patients recently diagnosed with parkinsonism as well as patients with certain REM sleep disorders are investigated.
Application Deadline: 29 October 2023
5. Fully Funded PhD Position in flow batteries
Summary of PhD Program:
The research group Applied Electrochemistry and Catalysis (ELCAT) in the Faculty of Applied Engineering is looking for a full time (100%) doctoral scholarship holder in the field of flow batteries. Batteries will be crucial to transform our society to a sustainable one. As a PhD student you will therefore conduct research to understand how battery design and pulsation affect performance and study the influence on lifetime. More specifically, you will actively work within the frame of the European research project RECHARGE. RECHARGE is a research grant of the prestigious European Research Council recently acquired by prof. Jonas Hereijgers and entails cutting edge research. The aim of RECHARGE is to develop the next generation of flow batteries.
Application Deadline: October 16th 2023
6. Fully Funded PhD Position in electrochemistry
Summary of PhD Program:
As researcher you will start within the research group ELCAT, currently employing around 30 people. The research of ELCAT revolves around electrochemistry. The main research activities are related to the development of state-of-the-art electrochemical reactors and catalyst, with as most important purpose the electrification of the industry and thus the replacement of traditional chemical processes with green and sustainable alternatives. The research falls mainly under 5 key activities: (1) electrochemical CO2 conversion; (2) green hydrogen production; (3) redox flow batteries; (4) power to chemicals; and (5) reactor design for electrochemical purposes.

11. 02 Fully Funded PhD Position in design and effects of alternative forms of policy and regulation
Summary of PhD Program:
We are looking to hire two team members to join our new GOBAREG project team, which will involve 6 professors, a postdoc, a valorisation manager, and four PhD researchers. The successful applicants will conduct research within the project ‘Legitimate Alternative Regulation in Regulatory Regimes’ (GOBAREG). The GOBAREG project studies how alternative forms of policy and regulation in the environmental and welfare sector, aiming for more sustainability and quality, can be designed and implemented in a legitimate way. These alternative forms of policy and regulation seek to enhance innovation and reduce compliance costs, while protecting citizens from harm.
