About this position

The ISTA-Fellow Program at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria is a highly competitive, fully funded postdoctoral fellowship for outstanding researchers in the natural sciences, computer science, mathematics, and related disciplines.

Fellows are hosted by an ISTA research group and can propose their own research project, provided it aligns with the expertise of the selected host supervisor and the scientific areas represented on campus. The post highlights research opportunities across biology, neuroscience, mathematics, data and computer science, physics, and chemistry.

Funding is strong: fellows receive a minimum gross annual salary of 73,500 euros, full social security coverage, and support for fellowship-related costs such as travel, consumables, conference fees, and outside service costs. Additional support may include on-campus accommodation for incoming fellows from abroad, onsite daycare, and free German language courses.

The call opens in June 2026, with the application deadline expected in September 2026. Applicants should first identify a suitable ISTA supervisor and ensure their proposed project fits the host’s research area before applying.

This opportunity is based at ISTA near Vienna, Austria, and is aimed at researchers seeking scientific freedom, strong funding, and an internationally connected environment.
