Job Information
- Organisation/Company: AITHYRA RESEARCH INSTITUTE FOR BIOMEDICAL ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
Offer Description
Do you want to help transform human health through machine learning and life science approaches? Join AITHYRA in Vienna for a fully funded PhD at the intersection of machine learning, experimental biology, chemistry, and medicine.
“I’m an ML researcher, but I don’t know biology.”
“I’m a life scientist or chemist, but I don’t code.”
At AITHYRA, neither is a barrier. In fact, bringing different perspectives together is exactly what we value most.
We are delighted to announce the AITHYRA International PhD Call in AI for Biomedicine. Our mission is to seamlessly integrate artificial intelligence and life sciences into an AI-native research environment geared to solve some of the biggest biomedical challenges of our times.
We are bringing together machine learners, life scientists, and clinical researchers to decode biological circuits, design novel therapeutics, and address complex conditions such as cancer and infectious diseases.
What we offer:
- A fully funded, 4-year PhD program
- A collaborative, welcoming interdisciplinary community
- Access to advanced robotics and experimental automation
- A nurturing culture where you can comfortably learn the "other" side of your discipline
If you are a curious, holistic thinker eager to contribute to human health, we would love to hear from you - even if you feel you don't tick every box.
