Who Should Apply

Researchers based outside Austria who have not worked at the University of Vienna in the last six months can apply. However, if you seek a full PhD position check the ISTA PhD Positions 2027 for a different fully funded option in Austria. So review both options if you are unsure about the best path for your career.

Eligibility Requirements

Overall, applicants must meet these points.

• Affiliation with a university outside Austria
• No employment at the University of Vienna in the past six months

Short Term Research Only

This is not a route to a full degree. Meanwhile, compare it with the University of Vienna Predoctoral Positions 2027 if you want employment style funding for longer study. Next decide if a short visit or a longer programme fits your goals better.
