About this position

The project is based in the Brussels Photonics Team (B-PHOT) at the Faculty of Engineering, Department Applied Physics and Photonics, at Vrije Universiteit Brussel in Brussels. The PhD candidate will work on developing an integrated sensor and analytical workflow for studying applied glass technologies in historic stained-glass windows, with a focus on uncorroded materials.

The research combines non-destructive spectroscopic techniques to support the characterization of bulk glass, glass staining, grisaille painting, and potential enamel coatings. The aim is to build a standardized measurement protocol that brings together multiple analytical methods in a single workflow, helping to classify materials and improve understanding of their composition for cultural heritage applications.

This doctoral project is part of the Glass-Care Marie Skłodowska-Curie Doctoral Network (DC01). The selected researcher will join an international, multidisciplinary environment, work with researchers at B-PHOT, take part in network training, and collaborate with international partners through research visits abroad. The position also involves presenting at conferences, publishing in peer-reviewed journals, and contributing to teaching-related and outreach activities within the department.

The topic sits at the intersection of photonics, spectroscopy, and heritage science, with a strong emphasis on developing practical tools for the analysis of stained-glass materials in the context of conservation research.

Funding details

Full-time PhD scholarship for 12 months, extendable up to 48 months. For the first 36 months, the MSCA fellowship includes a Living Allowance, Mobility Allowance, and where applicable a Family Allowance. The fourth year is covered by the VUB research council with Flemish PhD salary scales applied.

What's required

Applicants must hold a master’s degree in engineering sciences (Photonics, Electronics and Information Technology) or (Applied) Physics, or an equivalent degree recognized by the university, obtained before the official recruitment date. Strong written and spoken English skills are required, along with the ability to work both independently and in an interdisciplinary team. Initial experience with spectroscopic analysis and optical data processing is desirable, and hands-on laboratory experience is a strong advantage. Candidates must meet MSCA eligibility criteria: no more than 12 months of residence or main activity in Belgium during the three years before recruitment, no prior doctoral degree, and no more than 12 months cumulatively in an assistant mandate paid from operating resources. Non-EEA nationals must meet permit and residence requirements.

How to apply

Apply via jobs.vub.be by the deadline and upload the motivation letter, CV, bachelor’s and master’s transcripts/diplomas, the completed Glass_Care_Application_Questionnaire.pdf, a project proposal aligned with the Glass-Care objectives, and names/contact details of two referees. Include any available language certificates, scientific publications, or other research documentation. Selection is based on the application file, followed by an interview.
