As

Austria's largest research and technology organisation

for applied research, we are dedicated to make substantial contributions to solving the major challenges of our time, climate change and digitalisation. To achieve our goals, we rely on our specific research, development and technology competencies, which are the basis of our commitment to excellence in all areas. With our open culture of innovation and our motivated, international teams, we are working to position AIT as Austria's leading research institution at the highest international level and to make a positive contribution to the economy and society.

Our

Center for Health & Bioresources

located in

Vienna

invites applications for a

PhD Thesis

. In the

Center for Health & Bioresources

, we aim to solve challenges associated with demographic change, resource scarcity and environmental pollution and to develop innovative solutions, that enable early disease detection and support healthy and active aging.

Our Competence Unit

Molecular Diagnostics

focuses its research on the

development of novel diagnostic technologies

for a wide range of applications (e.g., infectious diseases, cancer diagnostics, health monitoring).

The

PhD project is part of the European research project

“

MI-DNA DISC

“, involving

six institutions from Europe

and is coordinated by Dr. Ivan Barišić.

The goal

of the Horizon Europe

is to develop a novel DNA-based data storage approach

. The PhD candidate will

investigate DNA-based technologies

regarding their data storage capacity and

develop genetic tools to store data in the genomes of bacteria

. The candidate will be enrolled at the Technical University Vienna.
