Job description

We are looking for student with a masters degree and a strong mathematical background as well as coding skills in Python. You should be interested in

• inverse problems
• mathematical modelling
• machine learning and optimization
• development, implementation and evaluation of algorithms but direct experience in the field is not necessary. Ideally you have

• a Master’s degree in mathematics with coding experience in Python;
• a degree in physics or engineering with documented mathematical interrest (masters topic, elective subjects, ...) and coding experience;
• a degree in computer science with also a strong mathematical focus.

Purely application-oriented profiles without solid, documented mathematical training are not an ideal fit.

Formal Eligibility (as In The Official Call)

• Master’s (or equivalent) degree, final certificate available before the 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.
