About this position
The Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA) is accepting applications to its 2027 interdisciplinary PhD program. The program welcomes highly qualified applicants interested in graduate-level scientific research across biology, chemistry, neuroscience, mathematics, computer science, physics, data science and scientific computing, astronomy, earth science, and related areas.
Students join an international research environment built around ISTA’s research groups. During the first year of the Graduate School, students explore their academic interests and work toward affiliating with a research group. Applicants are encouraged to learn about the groups and research conducted at ISTA and to identify potential groups that match their background and interests.
The program supports diverse research experiences, including experimental, computational, theoretical, and data-driven work. Relevant preparation may include research projects, internships, programming, laboratory techniques, scientific computing, field-specific coursework, science Olympiads, and other evidence of research potential. Students can consider up to three possible research groups and explain how their experience connects to those groups.
The PhD program begins uniformly on September 15. Shortlisted applicants participate in interviews, predominantly remotely, before receiving admission decisions.
