About this position
The University of Vienna’s Faculty of Chemistry is seeking a predoctoral University Assistant to join Prof. Christopher Gerner’s working group at the Institute of Analytical Chemistry.
The PhD research will investigate small molecules that act as modulators of biological signaling processes, including oxidized fatty acids, endocannabinoids and bile acids. The project combines the development of advanced analytical methods with biologically relevant research questions, offering an interdisciplinary environment at the interface of analytical and bioanalytical chemistry.
The doctoral researcher will participate in scientific studies and research projects in analytical chemistry, develop and apply methods based on liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry, and investigate biologically important molecular systems. The role also includes working toward a dissertation, contributing to teaching, and undertaking research- and teaching-related administrative activities.
The position is embedded in an international team with strong research infrastructure and a collaborative working environment. Researchers can access flexible working arrangements, partial remote work by agreement, public transport connections, and continuing training and coaching opportunities.
