About this position

The University of Vienna is seeking a predoctoral researcher in geoecology to investigate the ecological functioning of wetlands. The doctoral project focuses on greenhouse gas exchange in the reed belt of Lake Neusiedl and the Pürgschachen Moor.

The research will make use of the geoecology group’s existing eddy covariance infrastructure, including towers equipped with sensors for carbon dioxide, water vapor, and methane. The successful researcher will contribute to field-based environmental research, scientific data analysis, dissertation work, publications, conference presentations, and the preparation of research projects.

Alongside the primary research activities, the position includes participation in teaching, administration, department and research-group activities, and the Vienna International School of Earth and Space Sciences doctoral school. The role offers an international academic environment within the University of Vienna’s Faculty of Earth Sciences, Geography and Astronomy.

The project is suited to researchers interested in wetland ecology, biometeorology, soil science, plant ecophysiology, environmental monitoring, and greenhouse-gas dynamics.

Funding details

This is a salaried, limited-term predoctoral university assistant position at 30 hours per week. The basic full-time salary is EUR 3,836.10 paid 14 times per year, as of 1 January 2027, with possible increases based on credited professional experience. The contract is initially limited to 1.5 years and automatically extends to four years unless non-renewal is issued within the first 12 months.

What's required

Applicants should hold an MSc or diploma in a natural science discipline and have expertise in a relevant area such as biometeorology, geoecology, soil science, or plant ecophysiology. Proven skills in data analysis and programming, including R or comparable languages, using large datasets are required. Candidates need determination and commitment to scientific excellence, willingness and ability to drive to field sites with an appropriate driving licence, and readiness to work long hours on site under adverse conditions when necessary.
