1. Fully Funded PhD Position in Carbon dynamics of coastal wetland ecosystems
Summary of PhD Program:
Tidal marshes and mangroves are highly valued ecosystems, among others for nature-based climate mitigation (through carbon sequestration) and climate adaptation (through coastal erosion prevention). Their dense vegetation protects shorelines from waves, currents and erosion risks. Furthermore, coastal marshes and mangroves are considered the most efficient ecosystems on Earth in terms of carbon sequestration per surface area. Yet, many tidal marsh and mangrove areas have been historically converted in human land use, leading to the loss of the valuable ecosystem services. Nowadays, projects are carried out to (re-)create marshes and mangroves, but it remains to be proven how efficient such newly created marshes and mangroves are for carbon sequestration and erosion protection.
Application Deadline: February 29 2024

3. Fully Funded PhD Position in in situ electron microscopy of metal halide perovskite materials
Summary of PhD Program:
The EMAT research group at the Faculty of Science (University of Antwerp) is seeking to fill 2 PhD positions in the area of Quantitative in situ electron microscopy of metal halide perovskite materials under the supervision of Prof Sara Bals and Prof Van Aert. Light detection and emission are crucial for displays, medical and security scanners. Given the societal relevance, there is an emerging need for novel opto-electronic materials with higher conversion efficiency and lower production cost. Metal halide perovskites (MHPs) are promising high-performance semiconductors due to their strong absorption and emission in a broad spectral range and their ease of manufacturing.
Application Deadline: Feb 29 2024

8. Fully Funded PhD Position in epigenetic landscapes of histopathological growth patterns in colorectal cancer liver metastasis
Summary of PhD Program:
This PhD scholarship clinical research allows young researchers to prepare a PhD thesis in the field of molecular oncology, and particularly the study of colorectal cancer liver metastases with different growth patterns. Metastasis is the process by which cancer cells from a primary tumor can travel through the blood to other organs and form a second tumor. About one in four patients with colon cancer will experience metastases in the liver. All too often, patients die as a result of liver metastases. We do not yet know enough about how cancer cells form a metastasis in the liver.
Application Deadline: 29 February 2024
9. Fully Funded PhD Position in viral hepatitis and disease modelling
Summary of PhD Program:
The departments TWI2N and VAXINFECTIO of the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences are hiring a full-time (100%) PhD fellow in the field of viral hepatitis and disease modelling. The Viral Hepatitis research groups (Laboratory of Experimental Medicine and Paediatrics, Department TWI2N) led by Prof. Thomas Vanwolleghem and SIMID, CHERMID (Centre for Health Economics Research and Modelling Infectious Diseases, Department VAXINFECTIO) led by Prof. Niel Hens of the University of Antwerp, are planning an innovative research project on biomarker discovery and modelling of clinical outcomes in patients with chronic hepatitis B infection.
Application Deadline: 29 February 2024
10. Fully Funded PhD Position in European Union, with particular attention for the rule of law
Summary of PhD Program:
You work actively on the preparation and defence of a PhD thesis, written in English or in Dutch, on the topic of “Effective horizontal enforcement of the vertically imposed rule of law requirements in the European Union through the Member States’ judicial cooperation in civil and criminal matters”. More specifically, you will investigate whether and how EU Member State courts, when they operate within the framework of European judicial cooperation in civil and criminal matters, can effectively contribute to the enforcement of the rule of law standards under EU law, taking into account the requirement of mutual trust between the Member States.

11. Fully Funded PhD Position in improving spatial relations between in- and outside environments in care contexts
Summary of PhD Program:
The Research group Henry van de Velde in the Faculty of Design Sciences is looking for a full-time (100%) doctoral scholarship holder who would like to work on improving spatial relations between in- and outside environments in care contexts.
