Belgium-Research Assistant Position in Bioresponses Project

Katolieke Universiteit Leuven, Belgium.

1 year Research Assistant position is currently opened for those who hold Master’s degree and would like to obtain PhD degree. The position is available at The research group Measure, Model, and Manage Bioresponses (M3-BIORES). The project is entitled as: Monitoring of ammonia emissions from agricultural structures

M3-BIORES is headed by Prof. Daniel Berckmans and is one of the leading groups at bio-monitoring and control together with research on imperfectly mixed fluids around living organisms. The research objective is to measure in an on-line manner biological responses of living organisms and their individual micro-environment and to predict their dynamic response in order to monitor and control their well being, health and performance.

Project description:
Ammonia emission from agricultural structures is one of the current issues in environmental pollution debates. In an international consortium, M3-BIORES will apply an intermittent measurement technique where semi-continuous monitoring of ammonia emissions is possible in cheaper, robust, and reliable way.

Requirements:
Candidate must have a master’s degree (agriculture, engineering, physics, mathematics, or another relevant field) and the ambition to obtain a PhD within 4 years. He/She must have an interest in the development and application of mathematic modelling techniques on living organisms.
