12 PhD fellowship positions in Ageing, Stem Cell and Drug Research within the doctoral programme "Ageing, Regeneration, and Drug Research" (ARDRE) at the University of Innsbruck

Located at the Center of Europe and in the heart of the Alps, the University of Innsbruck provides an excellent surrounding for cutting-edge research and learning. At the crossroads of European countries and scientific communities, we offer an inspiring multidisciplinary atmosphere and an outstanding international scientific network. The Marie Skłodowska-Curie doctoral programme ARDRE (Ageing, Regeneration, and Drug Research) offers 12 PhD fellowship positions for highly qualified early-stage researchers (ESR) who wish to obtain a doctoral degree with a focus on ageing research, research in stem cells and regeneration, as well as drug research at the University of Innsbruck (UIBK) in Austria.

ARDRE provides structured training in both research-relevant and professional skills by building expertise in the fields of cellular and organismal ageing mechanisms, 2) stem cell and regeneration biology and 3) drug discovery, in a well-coordinated network structure. Our mission is to transfer advanced knowledge of ageing and regeneration mechanisms, as well as innovative drug research to the next generation of scientists, and train the ESR at the highest level possible.

The University of Innsbruck offers an excellent research environment and high-level training, which benefits from a team of group leaders from nine departments contributing to teaching, co-supervision and international networking. This international scientific community will enable the PhD students to participate in short research visits and international secondments. Collaborations with various renowned research institutions exist, for example University of California at Davis (USA), Université du Luxembourg (Luxembourg), University of Barcelona (Spain), University of Leeds (UK), University of Padova (Italy), Technical University of Dresden (Germany) and University of Galway (Ireland). ARDRE fellows work in a stimulating international and interdisciplinary research environment, with an individual mentoring programme that will provide an excellent basis for a future career in academia or industry.

Das PhD Program for Executives ist ein vierjähriges forschungsorientiertes berufsbegleitendes Programm für Executives, das relevante Kenntnisse und Forschungsfähigkeiten mit aktuellen Herausforderungen in ihrer Branche verknüpft.

PhD Program for Executives am MCI 

AUFBAU & INHALTE

Das PhD Program for Executives entwickelt die Forschungskompetenz von Entscheidungsträger/innen und Manager/innen und verknüpft wissenschaftliche Lösungsansätze mit aktuellen Herausforderungen und Fragestellungen im Management. Damit schließt es die Lücke zwischen traditionellen PhD-Studien und praxisorientierten Professional Doctorates (z. B. DBA).

Das Studium wurde entwickelt, um den besonderen Anforderungen berufstätiger Entscheidungsträger/innen gerecht zu werden und deren Expertise für die Forschung nutzbar zu machen. Das exklusive Qualifizierungsprogramm vereint akademische Herangehensweise, intellektuelle Inspiration und praktische Anwendbarkeit auf höchstem Niveau. Manager/innen und Führungskräfte werden befähigt, auf der Basis von relevanten Problemen aus ihrer eigenen beruflichen Praxis wissenschaftlich interessante Fragestellungen zu entwickeln, ihre Forschungs- und Methodenkompetenz auszubauen und wissenschaftliche Forschungsarbeiten durchzuführen. Das Kernstück des Doktoratsprogrammes bildet das Verfassen einer Dissertation, um diese an der Universität Antwerpen erfolgreich zu verteidigen.

Die Forschungsthemen folgen den Bedürfnissen der Teilnehmer/innen und decken eine Vielzahl von Bereichen der Wirtschaftswissenschaften, des Managements, der Ökonomie und der Sozialwissenschaften ab. Die Teilnehmer/innen werden in die entsprechenden Forschungszentren und Labors eingebettet. Sie profitieren von den intellektuellen Anregungen ihrer Forschungsgruppe und arbeiten eng mit den betreuenden Dozentinnen, Dozenten und Professorinnen und Professoren zusammen.

Die individuelle Forschungsarbeit ist in ein vierjähriges Programm integriert. Mit elf jeweils dreitägigen Seminarsessions (on Campus), die in Innsbruck und Antwerpen stattfinden, kann das Studium berufsbegleitend absolviert werden. Die Studierenden können ihre beruflichen Funktionen weiterhin in Vollzeit ausüben.

Phase 1 ist für die Dauer von 15 Monaten angesetzt. Die Teilnehmer/innen erwerben vertiefte Kenntnisse über quantitative und qualitative Methoden der Managementforschung. Große Aufmerksamkeit wird auch der Literaturrecherche und -prüfung sowie den erforderlichen Fähigkeiten gewidmet, Wissen zu vermitteln.

Durch die Einbettung in die entsprechenden Forschungszentren erhalten die Doktorantinnen und Doktoranten breite Einblicke in Ihre Spezialisierung oder Forschungslabors der jeweiligen Studieneinrichtung. Jeder Studiengang wird nach dem Kohortenprinzip entwickelt, wobei ein Netzwerk an Lehrkräften die gesamte Ausbildung betreut, leitet und berät.

Der erfolgreiche Abschluss aller Module und Aufgaben liefert alle Elemente, die erforderlich sind, um den Forschungsantrag auf eine Promotion zu stellen.

Mit der Annahme des Forschungsantrags für die Promotion und der Ernennung eines Doktorvaters kommen die Teilnehmer/innen in Stufe 2. Während eines Zeitraums von etwa 33 Monaten setzen die Teilnehmer/innen ihre Forschung fort, verfassen eine Doktorarbeit und verteidigen diese schließlich.

In dieser Phase wird von den Teilnehmerinnen und Teilnehmern erwartet, dass sie ihre Kompetenzen in der Präsentation, Diskussion und Veröffentlichung ihrer Forschung erweitern sowie Forschungskolloquien und Seminare über akademisches Publizieren besuchen, Lehrfälle schreiben und Diskussionen über Fallstudien im akademischen und geschäftlichen Umfeld unterstützen.

Inhalte und Aufbau des postgradualen PhD Program for Executives sind auf die spezifischen Erwartungen und Bedürfnisse berufstätiger Entscheidungsträger/innen zugeschnitten. Die elf dreitägigen Präsenzseminare finden in Antwerpen / Belgien und Innsbruck / Österreich statt (fünf in Antwerpen, sechs in Innsbruck).

• Inspiriert durch aktuelle wirtschaftliche, unternehmerische oder geschäftliche Herausforderungen
• Beitrag zum wissenschaftlichen Diskurs auf Grundlage kritischer Literaturarbeit und empirischen Befunden
• Öffentliche Verteidigung der Dissertation vor einem Komitee der Universität Antwerpen

Nach Abschluss des Doktoratsstudiums und erfolgreicher Verteidigung der Dissertation verleiht die Universität Antwerpen den akademischen Grad eines „PhD" (Doctor of Philosophy bzw. philosophiae doctor).

Die Absolventinnen und Absolventen profitieren über ihr Studium hinaus von einem starken Netzwerk an anerkannten Vortragenden aus Wissenschaft, Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft. Die Vernetzung mit internationalen Studierenden fördert Kontakte und schafft internationale Akzeptanz.

The PhD Program for Executives was submitted to the Agency for Quality Assurance and Accreditation Austria (AQ) in accordance with § 27 para. 1 and registered by the AQ in accordance with § 27 para. 6 HSQSG. The registration of the program in accordance with § 27 para. 6 HS-QSG does not ascertain equivalence with Austrian study programs and similar Austrian academic degrees. Graduates awarded with an academic degree from Belgium are entitled to use it in accordance with § 88 para. 1 of the 2002 law governing universities. The academic degrees awarded by the University of Antwerp are therefore recognized foreign degrees in Austria and may be used in official documents in accordance with § 88 para. 1a of the 2002 law governing universities.

The first year of the programme (September 2024 – June 2025) :

During the first year, PhD fellows are introduced to the PhD trajectory with a course programme of required and elective courses, taught by leading scholars of UNU-MERIT and our partner universities. These courses are taught in English and spread across two semesters, starting in September. The first semester consists of a programme of  compulsory thematic courses , introducing the fellows to the core research areas of the Institute.  During the second semester PhD fellows also follow elective methods courses, which permit them to develop the skills necessary to excel in the research area of their interest.

Throughout the first year, PhD fellows are supported in the further development of their PhD research proposal by interacting with staff members and potential supervisors. Upon successful defence of the proposal, a PhD agreement is developed with the supervisors and the PhD director, setting out the personal development and research plan and additional training needs for the following years.

After the first year (September 2025 onwards)

The first year is followed by three years of dissertation research and broader professional skill development. PhD fellows are encouraged to participate in seminars and other research activities organised at UNU-MERIT and to present their work in international high-level conferences. As part of their trajectories, PhD fellows can contribute to the Institute with activities related to their PhD, such as tutoring in the Masters’ programmes at the Institute, project-based research or other activities such as providing assistance to conferences and workshops, seminar organisation etc., depending on their longer-term career interests, within or outside academia.

• Academics • Government staff • Political analysts • Policy specialists

Many of our alumni follow an academic career: roughly 65 percent of our alumni work in academia. Roughly 15 percent find jobs in international non-governmental organisations including the European Union, United Nations and World Bank. Others work in research institutes such as the Institute of Development Studies (IDS) and Overseas Development Institute (ODI).

For researchers and for the recruitment of researchers

The code of conduct for the recruitment of researchers consists of a set of general principles and requirements that should be followed by employers and/or funders when appointing or recruiting researchers. These principles and requirements should ensure observance of values such as transparency of the recruitment process and equal treatment of all applicants, in particular with regard to the development of an attractive, open and sustainable European labour market for researchers, and are complementary to those outlined in the European Charter for Researchers.

Institutions and employers adhering to the Code of Conduct will openly demonstrate their commitment to act in a responsible and respectable way and to provide fair framework conditions to researchers, with a clear intention to contribute to the advancement of the European Research Area.

Code of conduct for researchers

UNU-MERIT and its School of Governance adhere to the European Charter for Researchers as well as the Netherlands Code of Conduct for Scientific Practice. Staff, researchers and PhD fellows are expected to behave in line with codes of conduct for researchers.  The code contains principles that all scientific practitioners allied with a university should observe individually, among each other and towards society. The principles can be read as general notions of good scientific practice.

Maastricht is considered one of the most beautiful and safest cities in the Netherlands. It is also compact, lively and very international, which makes it a fantastic environment for students.

Residence Permit

PhD fellows who are not nationals of EU countries, Liechtenstein, Norway, Iceland or Switzerland, and stay longer than 90 days in the Netherlands are required before they come to the Netherlands to obtain a residence permit. This group of fellows often also need authorisation for temporary stay (MVV) to enter the Netherlands. Please note that not everyone who needs the residence permit also needs MVV. Nationals of one of the following countries do not apply for MVV: Australia, Canada, Japan, Monaco, New Zealand, the United States, Vatican City, and South Korea.

Should the residence permit be required, the  Knowledge Centre for International Staff  of Maastricht University will submit a request for authorisation to the Ministry of Justice and Security as soon as possible upon acceptance to the programme. Note that the residence permit will be only issued if the correct procedure was followed in the home country..

All PhD fellows coming from abroad and staying for more than 90 days in the Netherlands are required to report upon arrival to the municipality of Maastricht (‘aliens department’) in order to obtain a residence permit and for registration. The Knowledge Centre for International Staff will help you with these issues once you are registered at Maastricht University.

According to the Dutch law, all foreign PhD fellows must have health and liability insurance. PhD fellows may make their own arrangements (coverage by your home insurance) or opt to take  insurance offered via Maastricht University . This insurance covers, among other things, medical and dental expenses and liability.

If you have private healthcare insurance in your home country, you might want to find out whether your policy also covers your medical bills in the Netherlands. If not, you will need to take out Dutch insurance.

Average living costs The following is a realistic estimate of PhD fellow monthly expenditures (in euros).

From Sample Preparation to Flow Cytometry

Flow Cytometry is a widely used technique to analyze cell populations for the expression of specific markers. A broad variety of instruments is available for almost every need. But preparing a sample for an efficient and meaningful flow analysis can be challenging sometimes. Especially complex samples like tissues or blood products need attention as they potentially contain debris, dead cells or other factors that can lead to non-evaluable results. Another challenge for the analysis are target cell populations with a very low frequency. The flow analysis itself starts with the design of appropriate panels of antibodies. Choosing the best suitable antibodies and fluorochromes is a very crucial step. Compensation of the fluorescence and handling the evaluation of multi-color-panels is getting more and more important as the number of potential parameters is constantly growing. In this workshop, we will focus on the following topics: -Correct preparation of tissues to obtain the best viable single cell suspensions for flow cytometry applications. -MACS separation of specific target cells as an enrichment method for rare cell populations. -Basics of flow cytometry: Design of multicolor flow panels, setting up the compensation, antibody titrations, suitable controls, like isotypes or FMOs
