Job description

Full-time PhD at MSCA project IGNIDTE DC 5

We are looking for someone who really enjoys mathematics: the focus is on the mathematics of diffusion models, ideally you have

• a Master’s degree in mathematics, or in physics or computer science with a strong mathematical focus;
• solid foundations in analysis, linear algebra and probability theory/stochastics;
• programming skills in Python;
• interest in inverse problems, generative models and machine learning.

Purely application-oriented profiles without solid, documented mathematical training are not a good fit.

Formal eligibility (as in the official call):

• Master’s (or equivalent) degree, final certificate available before employment starts; no doctoral degree yet.
• MSCA mobility rule: not more than 12 months of living, working or studying in Austria in the 36 months before 10 December 2026.

What we offer

• Full-time doctoral employment contract for 3 years (40 h/week).
• Salary from C 3,776.10 gross per month (level B1, Austrian universities’ collective agreement) plus allowances (about a third above most PhD contracts in Austria).
• Enrolment in the doctoral programme in Mathematics at the University of Innsbruck, with structured training across both universities (winter schools, transferable-skills courses).
• Two secondments at international academic and non-academic partner institutions.
• A truly interdisciplinary environment between mathematics and clinical radiology – and life in the Alps.
