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.

Information for undergraduate / pre-doctoral students

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.
