Professors and Assistant Professors

IST Austria (Institute of Science and Technology Austria) is a new Institute located near Vienna, dedicated to basic research at the highest international level. The Institute invites applications and nominations for Professors and Assistant Professors in Life Sciences, Physical Sciences, Mathematics and Computer Science, as well as in any multidisciplinary field.

The Institute ( www.ist.ac.at), established by the Austrian Government, opened its campus in 2009. Its funding is substantial, allowing for over 500 employees and graduate students by 2016. IST Austria is entitled to award Ph.D. degrees and includes an English-language Graduate School. It aims to achieve an international mix of scientists and recruit them solely on the basis of their individual excellence and potential contribution to research.

The Institute is recruiting leaders of independent research groups. Professors will have indefinite contracts and Assistant Professors will have fixed-term contracts for an initial period of

five years, with a possible, but not automatic, renewal for two additional years. Before the end of this period, the scientist will be considered for an indefinite appointment as a Professor at IST Austria, the decision being based on merit only (as is the case for a “Tenure-Track Assistant Professor” at U.S. universities).

The selected candidates will receive a competitive salary and a substantial annual research budget, covering operating expenses and the cost of Ph.D. students, postdoctoral fellows, and technical staff. Additional costs of starting a new laboratory, including instruments and infrastructure, will be offered separately. Scientists are also expected to apply for external research grants.

Applications and nominations should be sent to professor@ist.ac.at or assistant.professor@ist. ac.at, depending on the relevant position. Applications must include a CV, a list of publications and a research plan. Nominations should include an appraisal of the achievements and scientific qualifications of the nominee.

IST Austria is committed to Equality and Diversity. In particular female applicants are encouraged to apply.
