About this position

At the University of Graz, the Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences is offering a doctoral research position titled Wissenschaftliche:r Projektmitarbeiter:in - Dissertant:in (m/w/d). The role is embedded in the FWF-funded project “METABOLIC-SWITCH for ferroptosis suppression”, which investigates new strategies to inhibit ferroptosis in degenerative diseases.

The project combines interdisciplinary research in ferroptosis, metabolic regulation, and multiomics analysis using bioanalytical, cell biological, and molecular pharmacological methods. The successful candidate will contribute to the analysis of molecular mechanisms, the identification of novel therapeutic targets, and the generation and evaluation of multiomics data. A key part of the role is preparing a project-related dissertation in the area of Pharmacognosy, together with writing scientific publications and contributing to research communication activities.

The position is based at the University of Graz in Austria. It is a fixed-term appointment for 4 years with a full-time equivalent annual gross salary of €52,865.40 and a 30-hour weekly workload. The starting date is listed as 2026-10-01. The advert indicates that the position is funded and that salary may be higher depending on qualification and experience.

Applicants should hold a completed diploma or master's degree in Pharmacy, Biochemistry, Molecular Medicine, Biology, or a related discipline. Desired background includes basic knowledge of analytical methods, cell biology, signal transduction, molecular pharmacology, and ideally redox biology. Experience with standard lab techniques such as cell culture, Western blotting, immunofluorescence, qPCR, and FACS is an advantage, as is experience with HPLC; LC-MS/MS experience is optional. Strong English skills, good computer literacy, and the ability to work independently and collaboratively are emphasized.

The application deadline is 2026-08-21. Applications must be submitted online only via the University of Graz application tool. Required documents include a motivation letter, academic CV, proof of the required degree, and any language certificate required if the doctorate is not completed in the first language.
