PhD theses

A PhD thesis is usually written in the framework of a research project – we are looking forward to applications for job offers that will be published on this website. Even if there is no position announced, please do not hesitate to contact us if you are interested in writing a PhD thesis.

Our PhD students graduate either with the degree "Dr.in techn." / "Dr. techn." (doctoral program in engineering) or with the degree "Dr.in rer. nat." / "Dr. rer. nat." (doctoral program in natural sciences). More information can be found on the main website of the JKU.
