KU Leuven is offering a PhD position in rhizosphere biogeochemistry within the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences, Soil and Water Management Division, in the SPIRAL lab. The project focuses on how soil formation , root exudation , and free-living nitrogen fixers interact in the rhizosphere. A key research question is how plant-released carbohydrates and carboxylates influence microbial nitrogen fixation and the mobilization of molybdenum (Mo) , an essential cofactor for nitrogenase. ...

New PhD opportunity in exploration geology and critical raw materials , focused on the exploration of rare earth element (REE) resources hosted in carbonatites . The project uses an innovative space-to-field workflow that combines satellite remote sensing, field investigations, geological validation, and handheld XRF geochemistry for rapid mineral exploration. The research aims to develop new methods for detecting and characterizing carbonatite bodies, which are important targets in the search f...
