4. Fully Funded PhD Position in signal enhancement strategies for photoelectrochemical sensors for nucleic acid-based sequences
Summary of PhD Program:
The overall goal of this PhD is the development of strategies to enhance the sensitivity of novel photoelectrochemical biosensors that will pave the way to the construction of affordable, robust, and user-friendly platforms for healthcare applications, i.e. cancer diagnosis and infectious disease diagnostics. Due to the integration of biorecognition elements (e.g. DNA/RNA), electrochemical biosensors are ideally suited for the selective determination of a wide variety of clinically relevant targets.

5. Fully Funded PhD Position in bio-electrochemistry
Summary of PhD Program:
The overall goal of this PhD is the development of novel aptamer-based electrochemical biosensing strategies that will pave the way to the construction of affordable, robust, and portable detection platforms. Due to the integration of biorecognition elements, such as aptamers, electrochemical biosensors are ideally suited for the selective determination of a wide variety of targets. Crucial in developing such biosensing strategies is the characterization of the aptamers and their interaction with the target molecules via various bioanalytical technologies.
Application Deadline: Open until filled
6. Fully Funded PhD Position in analytical toxicology and wastewater-based epidemiology
Summary of PhD Program:
You will work actively on the preparation and defence of a PhD thesis in the field of analytical toxicology and wastewater-based epidemiology. The project aims to provide unprecedented insights into the behavior of xenobiotics in influent wastewater, focusing on the distribution between the liquid and solid phase of influent wastewater. To achieve this, innovative analytical workflows will be developed to quantify three model chemicals (THC-COOH, fluoxetine, methadone) and modeling experiments will assess interfacial equilibrium dynamics and partitioning of these compounds between the liquid and solid phase of influent wastewater under different conditions.
Application Deadline: 1st April 2025
7. Fully Funded PhD Position in Molecular and Computational Neurogenomics
Summary of PhD Program:
The overarching goal of this proposal is to understand why and how dysregulation of omnipresent and constantly expressed ARS proteins leads to dying-back neurodegeneration and affects specifically the peripheral neurons (PNs). This neuronal population contains the most polarized cells in our body and their sophisticated morphology and function render them highly susceptible to degeneration. The preliminary data generated in-house as well as the available public data suggest mechanisms involving genetic, epigenetic and chromatin organisation factors governing the cell-type specific response to ARS mutations.

8. Fully Funded PhD Position in public international law/ international human rights law
Summary of PhD Program:
You work actively on the preparation and defence of a PhD thesis in the context of the FWO project “Doing Business with Armed Groups: In search of shared responsibility and accountability for international crimes”, within the research group Law & Development. The wide-ranging subject of your PhD thesis is ‘Shared responsibility and accountability of armed groups and businesses for international crimes’ and can be approached from the perspective of public international law / international human rights law / international humanitarian law / comparative law.
Application Deadline: 18 March 2025
9. Fully Funded PhD Position in constitutional law
Summary of PhD Program:
[We] need an independent legal service to make it clear that the Constitution or international laws are not a rag of paper’, stated a 2022 Tweet by a future Flemish Minister in response to a Constitutional Court judgment. But what about the Legislative Section of the Belgian Council of State? It has shown itself to be the so-called ‘black box’ of Belgian constitutional law since (1) few people understand how it functions and (2) in order to spot why a rule ‘crashed’ one should consult the Council’s advisory opinion.
