Agent guide: [/agents.md](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/agents.md). --- # Machine learning and AI scientists - **Company:** The Mission Of Aithyra - **Location:** Wien, Austria - **Salary:** €39,649.0 - **Contract:** Permanent contract - **Skills:** Artificial Intelligence, Bioinformatics, Deep Learning, Information Technology - **Published:** September 12, 2026 - **Apply:** https://www.nature.com/naturecareers/apply/12864324/the-aithyra-international-phd-program-call-in-ai-for-biomedicine-all-genders-?LinkSource=JobDetails ## About the Role * a "full-scale" thinker: You are fascinated by the integration of AI across biological scales, from the molecular level to entire biological systems, and you are excited by the prospect of working alongside robotics and automated laboratories. * a lifelong learner: You have a solid foundation in a quantitative field (computer science, bioinformatics, mathematics, physics, etc.) and are excited to expand your horizons into the life sciences, and/or you have a solid foundation in a life science field (medicine, biology, chemistry, or a closely related field) and are eager to master computational and quantitative methods. * a collaborative thinker: You enjoy working closely with others, communicate effectively across disciplines, and believe that impactful research thrives on teamwork and shared problem-solving. * multidisciplinary at heart: You may have a background that doesn't follow a traditional path; you bring a unique perspective that enriches our research community, reimagines conventional approaches, and fosters creative scientific discovery. * skilled in the dry and/or wet lab: You are comfortable with computational modeling (dry lab) or experimental bench work (wet lab), and hold (or will hold by September 2027) a master's degree in computer science, computational biology, bioengineering, engineering, physics, statistics, mathematics, medicine, biology, chemistry, or a related scientific or technical field. ## Description If you answer any of the questions below with "yes", apply to one of our fully funded PhD positions in September: * Are you passionate about pushing the boundaries of AI and/or 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? * Are you passionate about high-throughput biology and scalable experimental approaches to map biological systems or identify novel therapeutics? * 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? The next PhD Program, together with our partners the TU Wien, Uni Wien and Meduni Wien, will start in September 2027. The goal of the PhD Program is to enable and empower AI/ML and life science students with the ability to successfully design, execute, manage and explain a research project in modern AI-driven molecular medicine, through a strongly participatory and interactive program. Plugging into an elite international ecosystem of world-class academic partners and leading research institutions, AITHYRA's global network empowers PhD candidates to contribute to the future of biomedical AI alongside the brightest minds in computing and life sciences. ## Related Videos - [Enabling intelligent logistics automation: home-grown Industrial IoT platform at Austrian Post](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2018-enabling-intelligent-logistics-automation-home-grown-industrial-iot-platform-at-austrian-post) - [Getting Started with Machine Learning](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/260-getting-started-with-machine-learning) - [AI for decision-making in Tech Recruiting](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1074-ai-for-decision-making-in-tech-recruiting) - [Geometric deep learning for drug discovery](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/264-geometric-deep-learning-for-drug-discovery) - [AI is dead, long live AK](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1093-ai-is-dead-long-live-ak) - [It's not easy being green](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/558-it-s-not-easy-being-green) ## Related Articles - [How to Become an AI Engineer](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/331-how-to-become-an-ai-engineer) - [Coffee with Developers - Maria Apazoglou - Making AI understandable for all in production](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/475-coffee-with-developers-maria-apazoglou-making-ai-understandable-for-all-in-production) - [What Industries Outside of AI Are Hiring The Most AI Experts?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/98-what-industries-outside-of-ai-are-hiring-the-most-ai-experts) - [Navigating the AI Shift](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/629-navigating-the-ai-shift) - [MLOps And AI Driven Development](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/82-mlops-and-ai-driven-development) - [Stephan Gillich - Bringing AI Everywhere](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/489-stephan-gillich-bringing-ai-everywhere)
