PhD Opportunities in Petroleum Engineering in Belgium

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 stai...

This FNRS fellowship supports a full-time PhD project in Belgium and is open across all research areas. It is funded by the F.R.S.-FNRS, the public research funding body for the French-speaking part of Belgium, and is intended for doctoral research at one of five French-speaking Belgian universities: UCLouvain, ULB, ULiège, UMons or UNamur. The award provides a monthly research fellowship and also includes a budget for research costs managed by the supervisor, helping to cover the practical need...

This FWO PhD Fellowship in Strategic Basic Research supports doctoral research in Flanders, Belgium, for projects with potential economic or social applications. It is a research-funded doctoral opportunity rather than a fixed-topic studentship, so candidates shape a project in any field of research together with a supervisor at a university in the Flemish Community. The fellowship is administered by the Research Foundation – Flanders (FWO) and is designed to back ambitious PhD projects that go ...

This PhD project focuses on AI-driven computational models for battery degradation within the EU-funded TRAIN-FAST Marie Skłodowska-Curie Doctoral Network. The research is hosted by Siemens Industry Software NV in Leuven, Belgium, in collaboration with Politecnico di Torino , where the PhD degree will be awarded. The project sits at the intersection of battery science, simulation, and data-driven modelling. The doctoral researcher will contribute to the development of a digital twin for predicti...

This PhD project at KU Leuven focuses on insect behaviour in an agricultural context, with particular attention to the environmental responses of black soldier fly larvae . The position sits at the intersection of biology and precision farming, suggesting a project aimed at understanding how larvae respond to environmental conditions relevant to controlled or data-informed agricultural systems. The advert highlights a research topic built around black soldier fly larvae, a species of strong inte...

PhD research in sustainable business models and circular economy This fully funded doctoral position at KU Leuven focuses on environmental and circularity modelling methods for sustainable business models. The thesis is part of the Flanders Make project on Digital Product Passports, exploring how product information and modelling approaches can support more sustainable and circular business practices. The research is situated within the SAM Team in the Department of Materials Engineering, under ...

UGent-MMS at Ghent University is offering a 4-year PhD project in the experimental characterization of snap fit joints . The research is centered on complex snap-lock/clickable connections used in products such as window profiles, laminate flooring, injection-moulded automotive parts, construction elements, medical devices, and consumer goods. The project goes beyond simple cantilever-based snap fits and instead examines joints that experience complex engagement and service conditions. The PhD w...

The University of Antwerp is offering a full-time doctoral scholarship in the Applied Electrochemistry and Catalysis (ELCAT) research group, Faculty of Applied Engineering, Belgium. The PhD project focuses on redox flow batteries for renewable energy storage. The researcher will investigate how electrolyte composition, battery design, and operating conditions influence performance, charge/discharge rate, stability, lifetime, crossover, power density, and electrolyte precipitation. Particular att...

The University of Antwerp’s Faculty of Applied Engineering invites applications for a full-time doctoral scholarship holder position in industrial wastewater engineering . The PhD project will investigate sustainable and innovative biological processes, with a specific focus on low dissolved oxygen biological nutrient removal from industrial wastewater. The exact research topic will be defined with Professor Jan Dries of the BioWAVE research group. The successful candidate will prepare and defen...
