Institute of Science and Technology Austria<br />
The Institute of Science and Technology Austria<br />
(IST Austria) is an international, PhD-granting,<br />
interdisciplinary research institution dedicated<br />
to cutting-edge basic research in the life sciences,<br />
physics, math, and computer sciences and<br />
training the next generation of scientists.<br />

An ecosystem for science and career development<br />
One of IST Austria’s main objectives is to help outstanding<br />
scientists to successfully climb the steps of a meaningful<br />
career. Emphasis is put on supporting career<br />
development on all stages of an international scientific<br />
career ranging from internship programs and PhD<br />
studies to Tenure Track professorships and promotion<br />
to Full Professors after international external Tenure<br />
evaluation. The multi-disciplinary US-style Graduate<br />
School provides depth and breadth of a modern, interdisciplinary<br />
PhD education.<br />
Scientific quality and promise as hiring criteria<br />
Effective recruiting ensuring scientific quality and<br />
potential is the only key to sustainable success on all<br />
career levels at IST Austria. Applications are accepted<br />
from all scientific fields currently present: Biology,<br />
Neuroscience, Mathematics, Physics, and Computer<br />
science. Scientists are integrated in world-class multidisciplinary<br />
research, with close interactions with<br />
colleagues from different fields (through shared facilities,<br />
joint projects, and events). IST Austria aims to<br />
break down the traditional boundaries between disciplines<br />
and fosters both theoretical and experimental<br />
research, with an emphasis on close and meaningful<br />
collaborations between the two camps.<br />
ISTplus Postdoc Program – Horizon 2020 MSCA<br />
COFUND<br />
With the implementation of the ISTplus program IST<br />
Austria also wants to break new grounds for the advancement<br />
of scientific careers on the postdoctoral level.<br />
No matter if postdocs stay in research (academia<br />
or industry), or go into management (founding small<br />
companies, running big companies), or into the public<br />
sector (science administration, policy advice) – international<br />
recruitment based on excellence and diversity<br />
combined with the specific research and training<br />
program will lead to successful alumni in all of these<br />
fields. As a coherently integrated program with strong<br />
monitoring, evaluation and follow-up, it offers two-year<br />
fellowships for highly qualified, incoming postdocs<br />
