1. 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 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 cancer biomarkers, pathogens, etc.
Application Deadline: October 17th 2024

3. Fully Funded PhD Position in processing and analysis of magnetic resonance images using machine and deep learning
Summary of PhD Program:
This position is part of the ERC Consolidator project “A data-driven approach to microstructure imaging” (ADAMI), funded by the European Union. ADAMI is a highly interdisciplinary project that combines insights from physics/engineering (magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and light-sheet microscopy), biological and medical sciences (tissue microstructure, immunostaining, and neuroscience), and computer science (data analysis, image processing, machine learning, and artificial intelligence) to achieve a breakthrough in microstructure imaging with MRI.
Application Deadline: Open Until Filled

5. Fully Funded PhD Position in terrestrial ecosystem ecology
Summary of PhD Program:
You will work on the preparation and defence of a PhD thesis in the field of terrestrial ecosystem ecology. The project will investigate the annual biomass production (called net primary production or NPP) of the major ecosystem types (e.g. forests, grasslands, croplands) at the global scale. Theoretically, you will investigate above- and belowground NPP and their environmental and anthropogenic drivers at the global scale (e.g. temperature, plant functional type, atmospheric nitrogen deposition etc.) using a new global database based on field data. Particular attention will be given to the impact of ecosystem management on NPP.
Application Deadline: 14 October 2024

7. Fully Funded PhD Position in Sexual wellbeing and the impact of pornography consumption in healthcare contexts
Summary of PhD Program:
The objective of your research is to investigate the impact of pornography consumption on the sexual wellbeing of young people and to explore how health care professionals (medical doctors, sexologists, psychologists, etc.) are and should be handeling this possible link in patients presenting with sexual difficulties. As part of this research project, you will actively work on the preparation and defense of a doctoral dissertation on the impact of porn consumption (PC) on the sexual wellbeing on young people in healthcare contexts.
Application Deadline: 28 October 2024
8. Fully Funded PhD Position in omics analysis to investigate the clinical impacts of neglected tropical diseases (mainly onchocerciasis) on the central nervous system
Summary of PhD Program:
The Global Health Institute of the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences is looking for a full-time (100%) doctoral scholarship holder in the field of omics analysis to investigate the clinical impacts of neglected tropical diseases (mainly onchocerciasis) on the central nervous system. This line of research would contribute to unravelling the pathogenesis of onchocerciasis-associated epilepsy, a new type of epilepsy, and a major neglected public health problem in many remote areas in sub-Saharan Africa.
Application Deadline: Open Until Filled
9. Fully Funded PhD Position in molecular oncopathology to improve the diagnosis of patients with cancer of unknown primary
Summary of PhD Program:
