About this position

?? Exciting PhD Opportunity in Neuroscience – Vienna, Austria

The Melzer Lab at the Medical University of Vienna is offering a fully funded PhD position focused on understanding how neuropeptides influence brain circuits involved in fear, anxiety, and memory. This role provides hands-on training in advanced neuroscience techniques, including in vivo imaging, electrophysiology, rodent surgeries, and behavioral research.

The position offers a 3-year contract starting in late 2025 or early 2026, with a gross annual salary of approximately €39,000, plus benefits. The selected candidate will also gain international exposure through conferences and collaborative projects within a supportive, interdisciplinary environment.

Applications are open until 31 July 2025. If you or someone in your network is passionate about neuroscience and ready for this exciting challenge, you can learn more and apply directly via the official announcement here: https://lnkd.in/d5pktmEh

Funding details

The position is fully funded for 3 years (30 hours/week), with a gross annual salary of approximately €39,000. The funding includes full insurance coverage (health, accident, retirement) and is supported by a WWTF grant. Additional benefits include international exposure and conference participation.

What's required

Applicants must have an MSc in Neuroscience, Biology, or a related discipline, or a 4-year Bachelor’s degree from a university where this qualifies for PhD entry (e.g., USA). Experience with data analysis, basic lab techniques, and animal handling is required. Experience in rodent surgery, behavioral testing, electrophysiological or optical recording techniques, and a FELASA certificate or equivalent are advantageous. Strong English reading and writing skills are necessary.
