2. Fully Funded PhD Position in bio-electrochemistry
Summary of PhD Program:
A-Sense Lab at the Department of Bioscience Engineering in the Faculty of Science is looking for a full-time (100%) doctoral scholarship holder in the field of bio-electrochemistry. The overall goal of this PhD is the development of novel (photo)electrochemical biosensing strategies that will pave the way to the construction of affordable, robust, user-friendly and portable platforms. Due to the integration of recognition bioelements (e.g. DNA/RNA, antibodies or aptamers), electrochemical biosensors are ideally suited for the selective determination of a wide variety of clinically relevant targets such as biomarkers, pathogens, etc. The detection of the analyte of interest will be achieved by taking advantage of the cost-effectiveness and sensitive detection provided by electrochemical strategies.

16. Fully Funded PhD Position in migration and global mobility studies
Summary of PhD Program:
The PhD project investigates how European states outsource their visa services and what consequences this has for refugee families trying to reunite in Europe. In the last 20 years, states have increasingly outsourced the processing of visas to private agents, operating in countries of origin and transit, variably endowed to collect, process and filter applications. However, little is known about how outsourcing policies have affected migrant populations living in contexts of crisis. The PhD candidate will explore outsourcing policies, their implementation and the challenges that transnational families face. The researcher will conduct comparative policy analysis between two or more European countries and ethnographic research in visa centres, consular offices and refugee settings in extra-European transit countries.
