VIP³ Interdisciplinary Postdoctoral Fellowship in Life Sciences, Chemistry, Physics, Medicine, Engineering, Computer Science, and Bioinformatics Vienna BioCenter in Austria

VIP³ Post Doc Program at Vienna BioCenter is an interdisciplinary postdoctoral fellowship opportunity at the Vienna BioCenter in Austria. The call is open for candidates with backgrounds in life sciences, chemistry, physics, medicine, engineering, computer science, and bioinformatics. The program offers three-year fully funded postdoctoral fellowships and is designed for researchers who want to build independent research directions through collaborative, cross-disciplinary projects.

The VIP³ model uses a three-mentor scheme: each fellow works on a joint project between two Vienna BioCenter groups, supported by two host group leaders, and also selects a third external mentor from the wider VBC network or international partners. This structure is intended to provide mentorship, infrastructure, career support, and broader scientific networking.

The program emphasizes interdisciplinary research, research-related and transferable skills training, coaching from the VIP³ Advisory Board, and a secondment scheme. It is hosted by the Vienna BioCenter, an English-speaking campus with strong research infrastructure.

Funding information mentioned in the post includes EU co-funding through the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) under Horizon Europe, plus institutional benefits such as health care benefits, pension contributions, and a highly subsidized child-care center.

The application deadline shown on the program page is 31 May 2026. Interested candidates should apply via the program application link and review the official VIP³ page for full eligibility and application details.
