Doctoral scholarship morphology of filter feeding in paddlefish
Offer DescriptionLet’s shape the future – University of AntwerpThe is a dynamic, forward-thinking, European university. We offer an innovative academic education to more than 20000 students, conduct pioneering scientific research and play an important service-providing role in society. We are one of the largest, most international and most innovative employers in the region. With more than 6000 employees from 100 different countries, we are helping to build tomorrow’s world every day. Through top scientific research, we push back boundaries and set a course for the future – a future that you can help to shape.Within the frame of EU-funded MSCA Doctoral Networks project , the Department of Biology in the Faculty of Science is looking for a full-time doctoral scholarship holder on morphology of filter feeding in paddlefish.Project descriptionBioinspiration (including biomimetics and biomimicry) develops novel materials, devices, and applications inspired by biological structures and strategies. The Nature4Nature project brings biologists, engineers, designers and manufacturers together to deliver early-stage researchers (ESRs) teaching in a learning environment that connects the inspiration, integration and implementation aspects of the bioinspiration process to undertake the conceptual, methodological and practical challenges. To do so, the project will collectively focus on biological filtration mechanisms to explore, test and design high-throughput, clog-resisting filtration systems, which could ultimately alleviate the current problems facing aquatic environments. The aim of this specific scholarship is to advance our knowledge on a promising model system for bioinspired filtration: cross-step filtration of paddlefish. Three-dimensional, digital reconstructions will be made based on micro-computed tomography of paddlefish heads. Next, these reconstructions will be converted into models ready for use in additive manufacturing design or computer-aided simulations.Position
where we investigate how organisms function and evolve. Many of our projects take a mechanistic approach: we try to understand how organismal systems work, i.e. how body parts (primarily of the movement and feeding apparatus) and processes interact. * You will carry out secondments of 3 weeks each at Fraunhofer IWS in Dresden and Hochschule Bremen to test the generated 3D models for, respectively, additive manufacturing and input into computational fluid dynamics simulations.
Profile
. * Your research qualities are in line with the faculty and
. * You act with attention to quality, integrity, creativity and cooperation.
What we offer
. The gross monthly amount at UAntwerpen corresponds to the . Moreover, funding is available for technical and personal skills training and participation in international research events. * You will receive ecocheques, Internet-connectivity allowance and a bicycle allowance or a full reimbursement of public transport costs for commuting.
