3. Fully Funded PhD Position
Summary of PhD Program:
We are looking for enthusiastic candidates to perform research on the development of experimentally validated and morphologically detailed computational models of the ultrasound-sensitive hippocampal formation. The models will include a comprehensive set of underlying ultrasound-neuron coupling mechanisms (e.g., mechanosensitive ion channels, radiation force induced membrane bending, intramembrane cavitation).
Application Deadline: Dec 31, 2024
4. Fully Funded PhD Position in Languages and Cultures
Summary of PhD Program:
The KNOW project examines the interaction between scholarly disciplines in the post-formative period (1200–1800 CE), a time marked by the rise of new institutions of learning, the expansion of libraries, the establishment and integration of academic disciplines, and an increase in scholarly travel. These developments fostered interdisciplinary cooperation, competition, and conflict, shaping the intellectual landscape of the era. Previous scholarship on this period has generally focused on intellectual products (i.e., doctrines and texts) and has tended to project our contemporary disciplinary divisions onto the premodern period (e.g., humanities v. sciences; religious v. secular).

5. Fully Funded PhD Position in Information Technology
Summary of PhD Program:
TripleQ is an ambitious research and innovation project aiming to develop, test and validate secure, low-cost, and ultra-fast 10 Gigabits/second Quantum Random Number Generators (QRNGs) for next-generation cryptographic applications. In today’s highly digitalized societies, information security is crucial as the current cybersecurity infrastructure is under constant pressure from financially and politically motivated hacking. Moreover, the rapid development of quantum computing poses a significant threat, potentially breaking many existing cryptographic protocols and rendering current techniques obsolete. Quantum cryptography offers a solution, which relies on high-quality, certified randomness.
Application Deadline: Dec 31, 2024
6. Fully Funded PhD Position in Electrical Engineering
Summary of PhD Program:
CyberQ is an ambitious research project focused on developing next-generation Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) systems that address challenges in scalability, performance, and practicality. In the modern digital age, secure communication is vital for global commerce, effective governance, and overall security. Traditional cryptographic techniques, though effective, are vulnerable to advancements in computing, especially the upcoming quantum computing era. QKD with AES encryption offers a robust, quantum-resistant solution.

7. Fully Funded PhD Position in Mechanical Engineering
Summary of PhD Program:
The performance of industrial gearboxes often varies due to subtle manufacturing differences, lubricant property changes, assembly inconsistencies, and fluctuating operating conditions. These variations, even in gearboxes of the highest quality, can affect durability and NVH (Noise, Vibration, and Harshness) performance unless carefully mitigated. Traditional gear design approaches, governed by standards such as DIN 3990, ISO 6336, or AGMA 2001, fall short in addressing the impact of within-tolerance surface roughness, geometric deviations, and changes in lubricant properties. As a result, these factors significantly influence contact dynamics and overall gearbox performance.
Application Deadline: Dec 20, 2024
8. Fully Funded PhD Position in Linguistics
Summary of PhD Program:
You will conduct research in Swedish linguistics with the primary goal of obtaining a doctoral degree under the supervision of Prof. Andreas Widoff. The doctoral project will be part of the project “Space, polyvalence and domain-neutrality in the organisation of linguistic meaning”. You will be allowed to formulate independent research questions and research tasks that fall within the scope of this project.
Application Deadline: Dec 18, 2024
9. Fully Funded PhD Position in Bioscience Engineering
Summary of PhD Program:
We are looking for a motivated PhD student (1+3 years appointment). As a PhD student, you will spend at least 90% of your time conducting scientific research, other tasks include supporting the Department of Plant and Crops and the Department of Environment for research, education or services. The research is part of the Horizon-RIA project FOODTURE. This project focuses on a correct quantification of our food system. For your research, we will investigate how we can use remote sensing technology for a better estimation of the biodiversity and ecosystem functioning of small landscape elements (SLEs) in an agricultural landscape.
Application Deadline: Dec 10, 2024
10. Fully Funded PhD Position in Plants and Crops
Summary of PhD Program:
The research is part of the Horizon-RIA project FOODTURE, funded by the European government. This project focuses on a correct quantification of the sustainability of our food system. For your research, we want to investigate how we can use drones, equipped with specific sensors for air quality measurements, to measure emissions from agricultural activities and more specifically livestock farms. To do this, we will integrate sensors on our drones, program flights in such a way that we minimize disruption to the air flows, and compare our data with on-site measurements and with the modelled air pollution. The ultimate goal is to develop a new way to quickly and affordably monitor emissions from agriculture and thus improve and (partially) replace model-based estimates.
Application Deadline: Dec 10, 2024
11. Fully Funded PhD Position in Architecture and Urban Planning
Summary of PhD Program:
Numerous approaches to generate statistically representative weather files have been reported in literature (e.g. Meteonorm), but typically yield results on an hourly basis. Since the relevant time scale for wind, buoyancy and occupancy conditions in residential buildings is likely on the order of a few minutes, this task will use wind gust analysis to produce high frequency stochastic weather files. The external disturbances for the controller will be estimated using short-term weather forecast models such as bin predictor and nonlinear models such as ANN which can provide near-perfect forecasting (see Oldewurtel et al., 2013, Florita & Henze, 2009). For the internal loads, the stochastic occupancy schedule and occupant activity generator defined by Verbruggen et al. (2020) will be extended to include pollutant sources.

12. Fully Funded PhD Position in Translation, Interpreting and Communication
Summary of PhD Program:
The Doctoral Fellow will be embedded in the Department of Translation, Interpreting, and Communication. They will work with Prof. Jeroen Vandaele (executive supervisor), a scholar working at the intersections of translation, ideology, and humour, and Prof. Andrew Bricker (co-supervisor), a scholar of English literature, satire, and humour. The Doctoral Fellow will work on a specific doctoral project, leading to a dissertation, as part of “DELIAH: Democratic Literacy and Humour,” a multi-university research project funded by Horizon Europe (Call: HORIZON-CL2-2024-DEMOCRACY-01-08), which will run from 1 March 2025 – 29 February 2029.
