Lead a large-scale research project developing new digital interventions for negative symptoms of psychosis. Supervise and coordinate project work packages, co-supervise PhD students, and ensure methodological rigor. Contribute to publications, dissemination activities, and clinical applications.

A PhD position is available to investigate autoimmune mechanisms in CIDP, a rare peripheral neuropathy. The project will use mass spectrometry and serological antigen selection to identify novel autoantibodies and correlate them with clinical phenotype and treatment response.

Lead methodological and statistical development for a large-scale project creating digital interventions for negative psychosis symptoms.

PhD research position investigating the role of minipuberty in the prediction and treatment of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).

PhD position focused on developing biomechanical digital twins of organs and tissues for self-healing surgical trainers. The project involves validating mechanical test methods, characterizing biological tissues, and developing finite element models.

PhD position in high-resolution spectroscopy of intermediate- and high-mass stars. The project will leverage large observing programmes with the HERMES spectrograph and space-based data. The goal is to address shortcomings in our understanding of stellar structure and evolution of binary systems.

Two PhD positions are available at KU Leuven's Centre for Mathematical Plasma Astrophysics (CmPA). Projects focus on radiative losses in particle-in-cell simulations of the solar corona and new waveframe variables for analyzing wave energy transport in solar plasma simulations.

PhD position available in the Department of Chemistry at KU Leuven. The project, MembraneMachines, focuses on designing and constructing DNA-based artificial nanomachines within lipid membranes. The successful candidate will design DNA nanostructures, work with lipid bilayers, and use single-channel electrophysiology and single-molecule localization fluorescence microscopy.

Postdoctoral researcher to identify host factors important for arbovirus infection in mosquitoes using scRNA sequencing. Experience with omics data analysis, mosquito rearing, and virology required.

Resolves, maintains, and manages client software, hardware, and network issues based on service requests. Ensures timely resolution and client satisfaction. Performs root cause analysis, installs/configures software/hardware, and coordinates with on-site teams.

KU Leuven seeks motivated PhD students in areas of pure mathematics including algebraic and arithmetic geometry, random matrices, complex analysis, functional analysis, and algebraic topology. Applicants should have a master's degree in mathematics or equivalent and demonstrate research interest. Fluency in English is required.

This PhD or Postdoctoral research position focuses on developing web-search enabled LLM-based enrichment pipelines, schemas, and data-structure logic for a product information backbone. Responsibilities include designing, evaluating, and refining methods for multimodal product data extraction, enrichment, and validation, as well as implementing and evaluating data enrichment pipelines using web-search enabled LLMs.

PhD scholarship to study optical properties, magnetism, and chemical reactivity of metal and carbon hybrid clusters using mass spectrometry, laser spectroscopy, and in-beam reactivity studies.

PhD researcher position in mathematical statistics focusing on developing new statistical methodologies for data in non-Euclidean spaces. Candidates must hold a Master degree in a relevant field with a distinction and have a strong interest in mathematical foundations of statistics.

PhD researcher will develop, test, and validate decolonized, just, and trustworthy foundation models (FMs) for rheumatic heart disease (RHD) detection. The research will involve analyzing technical gaps in AI systems for healthcare, identifying requirements for just FMs, developing a data collection workflow, and curating a database of echocardiogram and heart sound data. The PhD candidate will also develop scalable FMs for RHD screening and staging, and create an FM-based application for RHD screening and staging.

PhD candidate to join a team focused on pharmacokinetics–pharmacodynamics (PK–PD) modeling and simulation of biologics. The project involves developing a computational platform model to optimize dosing strategies for special populations.
