About this position
KU Leuven’s MeBioS Postharvest group is advertising two PhD openings in Belgium, both linked to fruit postharvest research and sustainable engineering solutions.
1) Innovative Optical Sensing for Precision Storage of Fruit
This PhD is carried out in collaboration with MeBioS Biophotonics at KU Leuven and is supervised by Prof. Wouter Saeys. The topic sits at the intersection of agricultural engineering, optical sensing, precision storage, and data science, with a focus on improving fruit storage systems through advanced sensing approaches.
2) Multiscale Modelling of Kiwifruit Softening: From Genes to Texture
This PhD is in collaboration with the Multicellular System Dynamics Lab and is supervised by Prof. Bart Smeets. The project combines modelling, biology, and fruit quality research to understand kiwifruit softening from the genetic level to texture outcomes.
The post emphasizes a dynamic research environment and work at the intersection of agricultural engineering, modelling, sensing, and data science. It is suitable for candidates interested in postharvest systems, fruit quality, biophotonics, and computational or experimental approaches to sustainable storage.
No explicit deadline, funding package, or language-test waiver is stated in the provided text. Interested candidates should follow the vacancy links for full eligibility criteria and application instructions.
