The Medical University of Innsbruck is offering fully funded PhD and postdoctoral positions in Biomedical Optics as part of the ERC Advanced Grant project "DeepVibes". The DeepVibes project aims to revolutionize optical microscopy by enabling deep tissue imaging with molecular specificity and diffraction-limited resolution. This is achieved through the integration of label-free, chemically specific Stimulated Raman Scattering (SRS) microscopy, adaptive optics, dynamic wavefront shaping, and adva...

This PhD project develops spectroscopic optical coherence tomography (sOCT) for non-invasive hemoglobin analysis in newborns and adults. The research addresses the clinical challenge of anemia monitoring, where repeated invasive blood sampling can contribute to blood loss and delayed treatment decisions. The proposed sOCT approach aims to separate vascular from non-vascular tissue in the skin so that hemoglobin determination can be confined to blood-containing microvasculature. You will work on ...

About this position

This PhD project investigates deep tissue imaging with nonlinear microscopy and adaptive optics at the Institute of Biomedical Physics, Medical University of Innsbruck, Austria.

The doctoral researcher will work with an adaptive-optics nonlinear microscope built around a high-power pulsed laser system. The research will focus on novel methods for correcting optical aberrations and light scattering in thick tissue, with the goal of extending imaging depth beyond the current state of the art.

Applications will be developed together with the Institute of Neuropathology, connecting advanced biophotonics and experimental microscopy with biomedical imaging. The project is supervised by Alexander Jesacher and co-supervised by Adelheid Wöhrer, providing an interdisciplinary environment spanning optical physics, microscopy, tissue imaging and neuropathology.

The researcher will join the structured doctoral training environment of the Image Guided Diagnosis and Therapy PhD program, with international academic and industry exposure through planned secondments.

Funding details

The position is a 3-year full-time contract with a salary starting at €3,776 gross per month plus allowances. It includes two international secondments, one academic and one industry secondment, and structured doctoral training in the PhD program Image Guided Diagnosis and Therapy. The position is funded by the EU Marie Skłodowska-Curie COFUND programme IGNIDTE.

What's required

Applicants must hold a Master’s degree in Physics, Photonics or a related field, have hands-on experience in experimental optics or microscopy, and possess scientific programming skills such as Python. Applicants must also comply with the MSCA mobility rule: they must not have lived, worked or studied in Austria for more than 12 months during the 36 months before 10 December 2026.

How to apply

Apply through the IGNIDTE application page, select project DC9, and include a 2-page research proposal. Informal questions may be sent to Alexander Jesacher via LinkedIn.
