Open Positions
Join us
By joining one of the research groups in our consortium, you will become part of and benefit from a collaborative and supportive, interdisciplinary network of researchers at all academic levels. Our consortium members are doing cutting-edge ubiquitin research on a wide range of exciting topics and regularly interact with each other to discuss their findings. Currently advertised positions are listed below.
Most labs of our consortium host undergraduate students to work as interns, conduct summer research projects or work on their thesis projects. So, if you are interested to join our ubiquitin community as intern, bachelor or master student, please directly contact the group leader of the topic that interests you most and send a short motivation letter plus CV. To get an overview on our research topics, please have a look at the individual profile pages.
You may also be eligible for the Vienna BioCenter (VBC) Summer School, where applications open each year in December and close end of January. When a call is open, labs participating in the upcoming VBC Summer School will be announced.
Group leaders at the Vienna BioCenter (Andreas Bachmair, Christian Becker, Tim Clausen, Yasin Dagdas, David Haselbach, Elif Karagöz, Alwin Köhler, Sascha Martens, Silvia Ramundo, Noelia Urban, Gijs Versteeg) recruit PhD students via the Vienna BioCenter PhD Program. Calls open twice per year. When a call is open, recruiting labs will be announced.
The lab of Georg Winter recruits PhD students via the CeMM PhD program.
The lab of Christian Becker recruits PhD students via the Vienna Doctoral School in Chemistry.
The lab of Ilaria Piazza recruits PhD students via the MDC Graduate School.
If your interests and your profile match the subject of one of our research groups, you are encouraged to directly contact the group leader you are interested in working with. Currently advertised positions are listed below.
