The Louvain Institute of Biomolecular Sciences and Technology (LIBST) at UCLouvain in Belgium is inviting applications for a PhD position in Microbial Biochemistry . The project focuses on developing an enzymatic toolbox for the biological valorisation of aromatic compounds generated by reductive catalytic fractionation of lignin . This topic sits at the interface of biochemistry, microbial metabolism, enzymology, and biomass valorisation, with strong relevance to sustainable bio-based chemistry...

Ghent University is recruiting a PhD candidate in coastal engineering, river hydrodynamics, estuarine hydrodynamics, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) , and nature-based solutions for riverbank protection and habitat restoration. The position is part of the four-year RECRAFT project, which aims to develop innovative wave-attenuating structures, engineered riverbank profiles, reused dredged sediments, and vegetation-based protection to reduce hydrodynamic forces while supporting ecosystem recove...

Two PhD positions are open in biostatistics within the Eclosion Lab , focused on citizen-science biodiversity data . One project is at KU Leuven in Belgium and concerns biodiversity monitoring with citizen-science data (L-BioStat). The other is at Hasselt University in Belgium and focuses on ecological statistics for citizen-science data (CenStat). The research is supervised by Thomas Neyens and Maxime Fajgenblat . The advertised methodological focus is on Bayesian occupancy models and hierarchi...
