About this position

The Vienna Doctoral School in Physics (VDSP) at the University of Vienna offers up to nine PhD Completion Contracts for doctoral fellows in the final phase of their studies. The contracts are designed to provide focused time and institutional support for completing and submitting a written dissertation in Physics.

Successful candidates will join the Faculty of Physics as University Assistants (praedoc). Their central task will be to complete the doctoral thesis while participating in research, teaching and administration. Fellows will meet regularly with their supervisor or supervisors to prioritize work and obtain the support needed to finish the dissertation successfully. They may also engage with workshops, training and coaching offered through the doctoral environment.

The role is embedded in the Vienna Doctoral School in Physics, which brings together around 180 doctoral candidates working at the forefront of physics research. The school provides doctoral training, mentoring and support aimed at helping researchers develop independence and connect with the wider scientific community. Alongside thesis completion, fellows may contribute to student supervision, course organization and examinations at the Faculty of Physics.

Contracts can start from 1 January 2027 and must be completed within 2027. The opportunity is intended for VDSP fellows whose previous University of Vienna employment and doctoral progress place them in the final stage of their PhD.
