PhD position summary/title: PhD Student

This PhD student position is focused on the impact of alphaherpesvirus infection on gap junction (GJ) permeability. Gap junctions are crucial communication channels. As one of their many functions, they allow virus-infected cells to warn neighboring cells about the imminent viral threat. Indeed, upon virus infection, infected cells generate antiviral messenger molecules like cGAMP. These antiviral messengers can be transferred to neighboring cells via gap junction intercellular communication (GJIC) and elicit an antiviral response in these adjacent cells, rendering them less susceptible to virus infection.
Using the porcine alphaherpesvirus pseudorabies virus (PRV), we have recently discovered that upon infection of epithelial cells with PRV, virus infection leads to rapid phosphorylation of the major GJ protein connexin-43 (Cx43), which leads to GJ closure (Tishchenko et al., 2025, PLoS Pathogens doi: 10.1371/journal.ppat.1012895). This suppresses the ability of infected cells to warn adjacent cells and allows the virus to spread and replicate more efficiently. This discovery represents a novel mechanism used by (alphaherpes)viruses to interfere with the antiviral response of the host. We have also discovered key viral and host proteins involved in this viral immune evasion process. In the current PhD research track, we want to investigate the mechanisms underlying the impact of PRV on gap junction permeability and the consequences for the antiviral host response.

(05) PhD Degree – Fully Funded

PhD position summary/title: PhD Student

Lipid accumulation in microglia is a hallmark of neurodegenerative diseases such as multiple sclerosis (MS) and Alzheimer’s Disease (AD). These lipid-loaded microglia are associated with disease pathology and enhance neuroinflammation, myelin breakdown, and neuronal loss. Although brain lipid metabolism has been known to be altered in MS and AD for a long time, and many genetic risk variants are linked to lipid metabolism, little is known about how these changes are connected to the accumulation of lipids in microglia, and how this promotes neurodegeneration. In this project, we aim to elucidate how lipid metabolism controls microglia-neuron interaction by bringing together unique expertise in Flanders on MS, AD, cutting-edge technologies, and innovative models. By combining this knowhow, we will gain novel insights in the link between altered lipid metabolism and neurodegeneration which can provide new, more effective targets to prevent neurological decline. This is an inter-university consortium project involving Ghent University, KU Leuven and coordinated by Hasselt University (Prof. J. Hendriks).

The PhD student will be engaged in setting up iPSC-derived human neural (brain) organoid model recapitulating neural-microglia interactions, as well as establishing fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM) approaches and analysis pipelines to perform non-destructive monitoring of neuronal function, DAMs, and multiplexing this with other cutting edge analysis techniques (transcriptomics, mass spectrometry imaging and Raman spectroscopies). The project will require a diverse set of skills in live microscopy, organoids and bioinformatics.

(11) PhD Degree – Fully Funded

PhD position summary/title: PhD Student

Ghent University is a top 100 university worldwide and one of the major universities in Belgium, with more than 50000 students and 15000 staff members. At the department of Electromechanical, Systems and Metal Engineering, we have an open vacancy for a PhD researcher in the mechatronics research group at the campus Kortrijk. The research in our group focuses on modelling, control, sensing and optimization of the electromechanical aspects of industrial machines, with an emphasis on Industry 4.0 technologies such as machine vision, AI or digital twins. A digital twin can be defined as a virtual replica of a physical system updated with actual sensing information and simulated in synchronism with its physical counterpart. Digital twins can provide deep insight in the behavior and condition of industrial machines, bringing considerable added value to the manufacturing industry. The long term goal of our research is to leverage this concept to realize sustainable mechatronics. In general, Industry 4.0 can be used to make mechatronic systems more efficient, productive, long-lasting, reliable, robust and flexible, leading to a more sustainable system overall.

We have opened a vacancy for a strategic and challenging PhD position with the topic ‘Direct visual process quality feedback to optimal machine operation in sustainable manufacturing’, under the supervision of Prof. Jeroen De Kooning and Prof. Kurt Stockman. The aim is to leverage our expertise on Digital Twins and machine vision to close the loop from real-time process and product quality detection to updating machine settings and control, using the insights from synchronized models. A critical challenge is to realize a Digital Twin which can quantify sustainability metrics online, and optimize these by acting automatically on the machine. Hence, the Digital Twin must be capable of relating machine settings and parameters to process quality and performance, and subsequently compute the optimal parameters. Potential applications to be explored in this PhD are web processing machines for foil-type materials and particle separation machines for recycling. The goal is to increasing product and process quality, thus reducing material waste, without impacting energy consumption or lifetime. In the past years, the research group in Kortrijk has built up critical expertise and laboratory infrastructure to support this PhD.

You will work in the mechatronics research group at the campus Kortrijk. The initial contract duration will be one year. The intended starting date is the first of September 2025. The contract can be extended to a full 4 year PhD research period under the condition of a positive evaluation after the initial period. You are expected to publish your research results in scientific journals and to present your results on international conferences. Ghent University offers an attractive salary with additional benefits, a positive and inspiring working environment and training possibilities.

The IDLab Ghent research group seeks a highly motivated and talented PhD student to join the Text-to-Knowledge (T2K) team. The T2K team has worked for many years on natural language processing tasks (NLP), initially mostly on advanced information extraction, but recently also covering other topics, such as conversational agents.
In this PhD you will focus on designing new conversational AI models, based on recent foundation models. The key research question is how these state-of-the-art language models (including multi-modal versions) can be leveraged and adapted to create an AI-powered voicebot in a recruiting context. Key challenges are to achieve (1) controlled adaptation of the question sequence in the conversation; (2) personalization of dialog flow as well as language; and (3) improving engagement to ultimately limit drop-out of potential candidates. As an underlying building block to address (1) and (2), it is crucial to be able to incorporate external knowledge, in terms of domain knowledge (e.g., specific vocabulary, ontologies of skill sets and/or job titles), and conversation-specific information (e.g., on the interviewee, the organization, a predefined conversation structure). A second aspect, pertaining to both (2) and (3), is to control the bot’s language generation for (cultural/gender) bias, sentiment, etc.

  • You participate in the European 3SI-CONTROL (GH EDCTP3 JU) project, which aims to determine the safety, effectiveness, and implementation strategies of an integrated deworming campaign against Taenia solium cysticercosis/taeniasis, schistosomiasis (SCH), and soil-transmitted helminth (STH) infections in sub-Saharan Africa. Driven by socioeconomic vulnerabilities, including limited access to clean water and inadequate sanitation, these neglected tropical diseases are highly prevalent in rural areas of sub-Saharan Africa and collectively account for an estimated 10 million DALYs per year in the region. If left untreated, STH and SCH can lead to long-term chronic morbidity, including anemia and iron deficiency, malnutrition, and impaired growth and cognition in children. Additionally, SCH can cause liver and urogenital tissue damage, while T. solium-related morbidity is strongly associated with neurocysticercosis, a major cause of epilepsy and various neurological disorders. Therefore, this project aims to evaluate the safety, effectiveness, and implementation of an integrated deworming campaign against these three diseases.
    Your focus within the project is on detecting and monitoring parasitic contamination in the environment (insects, water, soil, etc.), both before and after the deworming intervention. Tasks (non-exhaustive list) include: developing a research proposal, conducting research with active participation in fieldwork in Zambia, Tanzania, and Mozambique, laboratory work, data collection and analysis, reporting results, writing publications, and supervising master’s students involved in the project.

We are seeking a highly motivated PhD researcher for an innovative 4-year interdisciplinary research project examining the trajectory of private security within the European Union. Much of the existing criminological research has primarily focused on contemporary developments in the private security industry within individual EU Member States. However, what remains underexplored is how private security provision and policy at the EU level itself have evolved, and the extent to which the security industry has contributed to EU security strategies.

By examining both historical and contemporary developments, this project aims to provide comprehensive theoretical insights into transnational processes of privatisation within the European security landscape. Specifically, the research will explore how security privatisation influences – and is influenced by – EU policy-making, regulation, and security strategies, while also analysing shifts in the balance between security considerations and market competition.

The main research objective is to contribute to the development of responsible AI, with a strong focus on trust and confidence handling when dealing with data and data quality.
This task aims to further develop the logic framework for confidence handling that has been built in FAIR 1.0. In FAIR 1.0, the focus was on (i.) data quality assessment ,(ii.) studying confidence assessment and (iii.) the introduction of so-called L-grades as a means to express both satisfaction of criterion evaluation and confidence in the evaluation results. In FAIR 2.0 propagation of confidence measurement in logic reasoning and computations will be studied. Novel aspects to be developed are in the areas of aggregation, ranking, thresholds and fusion.
• With respect to aggregation, so-called sibling aggregators will be studied. A sibling aggregator is meant to aggregate L-grades. First the satisfaction grades are aggregated using an (advanced) computational intelligence (CI) aggregator. Second the confidence grades are aggregated in such a way that each confidence grade contributes to a similar extent to the computation of the overall confidence grade as its corresponding (sibling) satisfaction grade contributes to the computation of the overall satisfaction grade. CI aggregators that will be studied include ordered weighted average (OWA), and generalized conjunction/disjunction (GCD) as these are commonly accepted to adequately reflect human reasoning.
• Ranking concerns the study on how to rank L-grades. Depending on the context the user might give priority to satisfaction over confidence or vice versa, or look for the best balance between satisfaction and confidence, or look for the best option that can be obtained for a given cost.
• Thresholding is among others, important in view of optimization and flexible query answering reduction or enrichment because it impacts on which L-grades (and their corresponding objects) are kept into consideration for further computations.

About Ghent University, Belgium  –Official Website

Ghent University is a public research university located in Ghent, Belgium. It was established in 1817 by King William I of the Netherlands. After the Belgian revolution of 1830, the newly formed Belgian state began to administer the university. In 1930, the university became the first Dutch-speaking university in Belgium, whereas French had previously been the standard academic language in what was Université de Gand. In 1991, it was granted major autonomy and changed its name accordingly from State University of Ghent (Dutch: Rijksuniversiteit Gent, abbreviated as RUG) to its current designation.

In contrast to the Catholic University of Leuven or the Free University of Brussels, UGent considers itself a pluralist university in a special sense, i.e. not connected to any particular religion or political ideology. Its motto Inter Utrumque (‘In Between Both Extremes’), on the coat of arms, suggests the acquisition of wisdom and science comes only in an atmosphere of peace, when the institution is fully supported by the monarchy and fatherland.

Ghent University is one of the biggest Flemish universities, consisting of 44,000 students and 9,000 staff members. The University also supports the University Library and the University Hospital, which is one of the largest hospitals in Belgium. It is one of the greatest beneficiaries of funding from the Research Foundation – Flanders (FWO). Ghent University consistently rates among the top 100 universities in the world.
