PhD Opportunities in Medical Science in Austria

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. Appl...

The Medical University of Vienna is recruiting a PhD student to join the Bergthaler Lab and its research environment in Vienna, Austria. The project will investigate T cell immunology and systemic immunometabolism , exploring how immune-cell biology connects with metabolic processes across the body. The research is situated within molecular immunology and may also relate to disease-associated metabolic states such as cachexia, a topic highlighted in the associated research context. The successfu...

The University of Vienna’s Faculty of Psychology is seeking a predoctoral university assistant for the Clinical Psychology of Adulthood research area, led by Professor Urs Markus Nater, at the Institute of Clinical and Health Psychology. The doctoral researcher will join the Music & Health Lab and contribute to empirical research on stress, with a particular focus on the relationship between stress and reproductive mental health. The proposed dissertation project will apply Ecological Momentary ...

Montanuniversität Leoben’s Department of Geoenergy is seeking a University Assistant to join the Chair of Reservoir Engineering in Leoben, Austria, with the opportunity to pursue a PhD. The research focuses on geological carbon dioxide and hydrogen storage, investigating reactive fluid transport through porous media. The project combines experimental and numerical approaches to understand transport processes relevant to subsurface energy storage and reservoir engineering. Potential research acti...

This PhD project focuses on patient-specific liver deformation modelling for radio-frequency liver tumour ablation , where accurate prediction of organ movement is essential for treatment planning and intraoperative guidance. The project develops an AI-driven framework that combines strong modelling approaches to capture liver deformation at the patient level. A major part of the research is tackling the interpretability problem of deep learning systems. The PhD candidate will investigate method...

This PhD project, DC5, is based at the University of Innsbruck and sits at the intersection of mathematics and radiology. The project focuses on conditional diffusion models for image reconstruction, resolution enhancement, data completion, and segmentation in medical imaging. The central research challenge is to develop and mathematically analyse diffusion-based methods that can make use of conditional information such as clinical metadata, while remaining robust across different imaging protoc...

This doctoral project, Joint Denoising and Material Decomposition in Photon Counting Computed Tomography , sits at the interface of mathematics, image reconstruction, and clinical radiology. The PhD is part of the IGNIDTE programme and is hosted by the University of Innsbruck in collaboration with the Medical University of Innsbruck . The project focuses on spectrally resolved CT using photon-counting detectors, an imaging technology with wide clinical relevance. The research aims to combine mat...

This PhD project at the Medical University of Innsbruck investigates the mechanistic origins of chromosomal instability (CIN) in cancer and its role in immune evasion, therapy resistance, and metastatic spread. The research addresses how tumors can suppress interferon signaling and evade immune detection before metastasis. The doctoral researcher will develop the computational core of a multimodal artificial intelligence system in close collaboration with wet-lab scientists and clinical teams. T...
