Joachim Reidl wird Forschungs-Vizerektor an der Uni Graz.

Der Molekularbiologe Joachim Reidl (59) wurde am 22. April 2021 vom Universitätsrat der Universität Graz zum neuen Vizerektor für Forschung und Nachwuchsförderung gewählt. Die Position war nach der Wahl vom Christof Gattringer zum neuen FWF-Präsident vakant geworden.

„Ich freue mich darauf, meine Erfahrung und Ideen in diese neue, interessante und herausfordernde Aufgabe einbringen zu können“, so Reidl zu seiner Kür.
Der 1961 im deutschen Hechingen geborene Wissenschafter studierte Biologie an der Universität Konstanz, an der er im Jahr 1992 auch promovierte. Nach einem Post-Doc-Aufenthalt an der Harvard Medical School in Boston (USA) wechselte er an die Universität Würzburg, an der er 2001 habilitierte und ab 2004 eine Professur für „Bakterielle Physiologie und zelluläre Biologie“ innehatte.

2007 wechselte er als Universitätsprofessor für Mikrobiologie an das Institut für Molekulare Biowissenschaften der Universität Graz, wo er seitdem Spezialist für bakterielle Infektiologie und die Wirkungsweisen von Antibiotika ist. Dabei leitet er eine Arbeitsgruppe, in der die Erforschung der Interaktion zwischen Bakterien und Wirt im Vordergrund steht. Seit 2016 ist Reidl Referent im Wissenschaftsfonds FWF. Er hat bereits mehr als 70 wissenschaftliche Publikationen verfasst.

„Wir freuen uns, mit Joachim Reidl einen absoluten Fachmann für diese verantwortungsvolle Position gewonnen zu haben. Ich freue mich auf eine erfolgreiche Zusammenarbeit“, so Martin Polaschek, Rektor der Universität Graz.

Getting even hotter: Researchers predict global warming of 1.7 degrees by 2027

While Europe is currently sweltering in the heat, global temperatures are also rising towards concerning record levels. In 2026, Earth’s surface air temperature is expected to reach 1.62 degrees, and in 2027 even 1.71 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels. The long-term temperature rise – an average over a 20-year period – is predicted to exceed the 1.5-degree threshold of the Paris Agreement as of 2026 already. For the first time, researchers at the University of Graz have been able to make such a forecast so far in advance. The intensifying El Niño climate event favors forecast skill and thereby facilitates a reliable computation.

Save, invest or guarantee: What Austrians expect from the state

Austria needs to make savings. But where? And what should the Republic actually be spending its money on? The answers are provided by the initial findings of a major study involving the University of Graz. 99 per cent of those surveyed are in favour of the state ensuring healthcare provision. Almost three-quarters would like to see more public funding for education, whilst only around three per cent are in favour of cuts in this sector.
