PhD Opportunities in Pharmacy 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 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 interdisciplina...

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 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...

AIT Austrian Institute of Technology’s Center for Health & Bioresources in Tulln, near Vienna, is offering a PhD thesis position on prediction and functional validation of microbiome modulators for improved soil-plant resilience . The project investigates how microbial strains and defined microbial communities can shift soil and plant microbiomes toward beneficial traits, including improved plant stress tolerance, nutrient availability and soil health. The doctoral researcher will develop a real...
