  • Are you passionate about pushing the boundaries of AI and life sciences to solve pressing biomedical needs and translate your findings to impact medical practice and improve healthcare?
  • Are you excited to develop and apply cutting-edge machine learning (e.g. geometric deep learning, generative models, representation learning) to decode molecular physiology, pathology, and therapeutic design?
  • Do you want to join an international group of highly collaborative, interdisciplinary, and successful colleagues that help you achieve your training and research goals?
  • Do you want to bridge science and innovation, gaining entrepreneurship skills to translate breakthroughs into tools, therapies, or startups?

If yes, apply now to one of our 15-20 fully funded PhD positions here: https://apply.cemm.at
Deadline: 30 January 2026

The next PhD Program, together with our partners the TU Wien, Uni Wien, Meduni Wien, and CeMM will start in September 2026. The goal of the PhD Program is to address real-world problems in interdisciplinary computational, biomedical, clinical, and health research settings. If you’re eager to work at the intersection of computational innovation and wet-lab discovery, we want you on our team.

At both 10:00 and 17:00 CET on 14th January 2026, CeMM and AITHYRA will host an online information event where you will be able to find out more about doing a PhD at the institutes and applying to the joint call as well as have the chance to meet and talk directly with current PhD students.
