03 PhD Programs – Fully Funded at Vlaams Instituut Voor Biotechnologie, Belgium

Do you have a Master’s degree and are looking for fully funded PhD opportunities? Vlaams Instituut Voor Biotechnologie, Belgium is now accepting applications for several funded PhD programs across a range of research areas.

1. Fully Funded PhD in Discovery of novel bioactive metabolites driving tomato-fungi chemical warfare

Summary of Funded PhD Program

Chemical communication via specialized metabolites determines interactions between fungi and plants. Fungi possess a metabolite treasure trove, with potent applications for agriculture and human health, yet the vast majority await discovery, typically because their biosynthesis is silent in lab conditions. Within this PhD project, you will exploit an innovative plant-based platform to discover, study and produce yet unknown fungal metabolites. The plant-based platform is designed based on novel, paradigm-shifting insights acquired during our past research on plant stress hormones. As such, we expect it will offer unprecedented possibilities to activate and study fungal metabolism.

2. Fully Funded PhD in Evolutionary Biology

Summary of Funded PhD Program

Diatoms are the most productive and species-rich group of microalgae. They have extensively colonized marine, freshwater and terrestrial ecosystems, contributing 20% of all carbon fixation on Earth. Despite the global significance of diatoms, the genetic basis and regulatory mechanisms underlying their evolutionary and ecological success remain largely uncharted territory. Unraveling these mechanisms is crucial to assess how diatoms respond to climate change. In this project, we will experimentally evolve diatoms under selection for resilience against warmer temperatures, and chart the molecular mechanisms underlying diatom adaptation.
