If you’re a Masters degree holder and seeking Fully Funded PhD Programs, Ghent University, Belgium has several online applications open for PhD programs. Explore the PhD opportunities across diverse research areas and submit your application soon.
1. Fully Funded PhD Position in electromechanics
Summary of PhD Program:
The investigation will focus on potential substitutional materials to PTFE and PTFE-containing polymer sliding machine elements and tribotechnical components. This reasearch aims to investigate the abrasive wear behavior, including wear micro-mechanisms, surface and micro-geometry changes along with other tribological properties such as friction in contact. Additionally, the study will explore wear particle generation and embedding characteristics. The research will be conducted under various pressure-velocity conditions, providing a basis for comparison. The goal is to offer comprehensive insights for effective polymer sliding element and tribotechnical component selection, as well as engineering design.
Application Deadline: Sep 20, 2024
2. Fully Funded PhD Position in Causal Machine Learning
Summary of PhD Program:
This PhD position is one of multiple positions being opened in connection to Advanced ERC Grant ACME ‘Assumption-lean (Causal) Modeling and Estimation’. In an era where the focus on causal inference is increasingly turning away from modeling towards quantifying population-level intervention effects, there is a risk of oversimplifying causal queries and of neglecting the rich history and efficacy of statistical modeling techniques.

3. Fully Funded PhD Position in Information Technology
Summary of PhD Program:
The IDLab Ghent research group from Ghent University – imec in Belgium is extending its interdisciplinary research cluster focusing on artificial intelligence for bio-informatics, within a new collaboration project between academia and industry, focusing on the AI-driven generation and optimization of proteins for therapeutic purposes.
Application Deadline: Dec 31, 2024
4. Fully Funded PhD Position in Electrical Engineering or Electronics Engineering
Summary of PhD Program:
Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) is a 3D sensing technology based on laser light to measure the distance between an object and the sensor that holds great promise for allowing autonomous machines to see and navigate the world with very high precision. Typically, LiDAR designs comprise a multitude of moving parts (e.g., an assembly of lasers, optics, electronics, and detectors) on a mechanically rotating stage.
Application Deadline: Aug 31, 2024
5. Fully Funded PhD Position in statistics/ machine learning
Summary of PhD Program:
The PhD student will work on the development of spatio-temporal data analysis techniques tailored to the challenges that can arise in environmental settings. The research is defined within the context of the Flanders AI (artificial intelligence) Project (FAIR2) and will be concerned with ways to compute optimal data collection strategies in space and time through e.g. the use of Bayesian methodologies. Besides, the study and occurrence of extremes can be of interest. Computational methods (e.g. resampling methods, Monte Carlo theory among others) will play an important role in this research next to Bayesian statistical modelling with e.g. hierarchical modelling, GAMMs or Gaussian processes.

6. Fully Funded PhD Position in electrophoresis in advanced configurations
Summary of PhD Program:
The PhD candidate will continue our recent research in these new phenomena by designing and creating new microstructures that highlight the observed novel effects and that lead potentially to promising new applications. The experimental work is accompanied by theoretical and computer modelling. A performant model will allow a more realistic simulation of electrophoretic systems, widening our understanding of the phenomena and enabling the improvement of current designs and or development of new designs.
Application Deadline: Sep 30, 2024
7. Fully Funded PhD Position in Biotechnology
Summary of PhD Program:
The FWO project MycoMatters aims to develop a robust process for production of 100% biobased and biodegradable mycelium-based materials with improved properties, such as mechanical strength and flexibility, durability but also visual and sensory attributes. In this specific PhD project, the main objective is to integrate a bacterial synthetic biology host in a co-cultivation approach to optimize cost-efficiency of the process and quality of the product. Furthermore, the bacterial host will be engineered to enhance material properties.
Application Deadline: Aug 24, 2024
8. Fully Funded PhD Position in solid-state chemistry
Summary of PhD Program:
You will apply ab initio modeling (density functional theory, DFT) and artificial intelligence (training and using machine learning potentials) to improve the the segregation of solute elements in an iron matrix, including the role of defects and grain boundaries therein.
Application Deadline: Aug 27, 2024
