Doctoral fellow in the Department of Biology

YOUR TASKS We are offering a PhD scholarship to unravel the ecology and evolution of reproduction of phytophagous arthropods. One major research question focuses on how biotic interactions such as parasitism/symbiosis shape the evolution of eggs and oviposition. We will dissect how key functional egg traits allow arthropods to survive antagonistic interactions, such as those with parasitoids and bacteria. A second research question focuses on the drivers and consequences of reproductive isolation in herbivores. We will advance our understanding of speciation and unravel the roles of selfish genetic elements, local biotic parameters, and oviposition behaviour. Using several arthropod taxa, this project leverages periods of intense (tropical) fieldwork with molecular laboratory work and arthropod husbandry.The successful applicant will be hosted at the Wybouw research group, Department of Biology, Ghent University, Belgium. Guided by two supervisors, he/she/they will work within a dynamic and complementary research team that focuses on understanding the evolution and mechanistic basis of key phenotypes in the broad fields of speciation, herbivory, and endosymbiosis. The position aligns with an ERC Starting Grant (HYBRIPEST). WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR Candidates should have a strong background in evolutionary biology and field entomology. Previous training in molecular biology techniques (such as amplicon sequencing) and arthropod husbandry will be seen as an advantage. Previous international research experience will be seen as a strength. Applicants must be highly motivated, driven to perform state-of-the-art research, and exhibit excellent written and spoken English skills. Applicants must work independently but effectively within a team. The position is available for a four-year period, pending a positive intermediate evaluation. To assess student qualifications, emphasis will also be laid on previous publications (if any) and relevant research experience. We aim to hire students that reflect the diversity of society and thus welcome applications from all qualified candidates regardless of personal background. WHAT WE CAN OFFER YOU We offer a full-time position as a doctoral fellow, consisting of an initial period of 12 months, which – after a positive evaluation, will be extended to a total maximum of 48 months.  Your contract will start on 10/01/2026 at the earliest.  The fellowship amount is 100% of the net salary of an AAP member in equal family circumstances. The individual fellowship amount is determined by Team Personnel Administration based on family status and seniority. A grant that meets the conditions and criteria of the regulations for doctoral fellowships is considered free of personal income tax. Click here for more information about our salary scales  All Ghent University staff members enjoy a number of benefits, such as a wide range of training and education opportunities, 36 days of holiday leave (on an annual basis for a full-time job) supplemented by annual fixed bridge days, bicycle allowance and eco vouchers. Click here for a complete overview of all the staff benefits.  INTERESTED? Send your cv, copy of your diploma (if already in your possession) and a motivation letter to nicky.wybouw@ugent.be. We do not accept late applications. As Ghent University maintains an equal opportunities and diversity policy, everyone is encouraged to apply for this position. For more information about this vacancy, please contact prof.

PhD in food choice, consumer behaviour and neuroimaging

We are offering a fully funded, four-year PhD position in a dynamic and interdisciplinary research environment at KU Leuven, one of Europe’s leading universities in biomedical research. The project unites different research units that operate at the intersection of nutrition, neuroscience, consumer and data analysis research aiming to investigate the effectiveness of various food labelling cues that influence decision-making at both the neurological and behavioural levels. Description of the organizational unitThe candidate will join the Nutrition & Metabolism Associated Diseases research group (NMAD – Prof. Christophe Matthys), which aims to ‘optimize metabolic imbalances through nutrition’. In close collaboration, the Laboratory for Gut-Brain Axis Studies (LaBGAS – Prof Lukas Van Oudenhove) combines biochemical analyses with advanced neuroimaging (PET, fMRI) approaches to study gut-brain communication and its impact on food-related reward processes.Together, these complementary teams create a unique, collaborative environment that combines clinical expertise, advanced imaging technology, and innovative behavioral science to advance personalized advice for an optimal dietary pattern. Project This PhD position is embedded in HSFood4ALL (Healthy and Sustainable Food for All), a project integrating consumer-level data (behaviour, health, socio-demographics) with product-level food data (nutritional quality, environmental impact, certifications). The overall aim is to improve evidence-based food choice communication and policy while uncovering potential neurological mechanisms influencing these choices.  Within HSFood4ALL, the research conducted by KU Leuven NMAD & LaBGAS in this project will mainly focus on:  (i) Consumer profiling for healthy food engagement;  (ii) Nutrition and health metrics for product differentiation and consumer engagement;  (iii) Neurobehavioural mechanisms underlying the impact of improved labelling on food choices  The PhD position addresses the three core themes of HSFood4All: healthy food choices, environmental sustainability, and voluntary sustainability standards. Therefore, the candidate will collaborate closely with several partners within the HSFood4ALL consortium, including research groups in bio-economics, consumer behaviour, artificial intelligence, food technology and sustainability from KU Leuven, ILVO and Artevelde University College of Applied Sciences.  The PhD candidate will be responsible for: • Designing and developing the project’s experimental sub-studies in collaboration with consortium partners .  • preparing study documentation and ethical applications. • Recruiting, informing and motivating study participants.  • the logistics of the project, including data collection, data management and data storage. • the day-to-day management of the project. • collecting, analyzing, and interpreting multimodal behavioral, clinical and neuroimaging data.  • reporting to the investigators and participate in team meetings. • applying for additional funding.  • contributing to high-quality scientific publications and presenting findings at national and international conferences. • contributing to research-related activities within the division. • assisting in the supervision and mentoring of students or junior researchers.  Profile We are looking for enthusiastic and highly motivated candidates with a Master’s degree; a degree in Biomedical Sciences, Medicine, Psychology, Neurosciences, Behavioral Sciences, Bio-engineering, Pharmacy or a related discipline. Candidates with a strong interest in data analytics are particularly encouraged to apply.  For diplomas awarded outside the European Union, a certificate of equivalence (NARIC) must be submitted.  We are looking for someone with: • Generic competences: dynamic; organizational skills; result-oriented; communicative; convincing; accurate; analytical; team-worker; independent; problem-solver • An exploratory and curious scientific mindset:  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills in English • Plus points:    o knowledge of nutrition,    o experience with statistics,    o knowledge/ability to apply phlebotomy,    o prior experience with clinical data collection and analysis, including neuroimaging or behavioral data • Languages: Dutch is strongly preferred, as the project involves extensive  interaction with Dutch-speaking participants; English; French is an asset. If Dutch is not your native language, a minimum ERK level C1 is required. Applications that do not meet this requirement cannot be considered. Offer We offer an exciting opportunity to complete a PhD in an internationally recognized research environment at one of Europe’s leading universities. You will work with state-of-the-art neuroimaging facilities, collaborate within a multidisciplinary consortium and receive close supervision from experienced researchers in nutrition, neuroscience and behavioural science.
