We are always looking for motivated PhD students and postdoctoral researchers interested in theoretical/computational soft matter/biological physics.

For PhD application process please consult ISTA Graduate School webpage and email the PI with any questions. For postdoc applications please email the PI with your CV and a brief statement of  interest. Postdoc projects and starting dates can be adjusted in line with the candidates’ interests.  Postdoc position is 3 years initially, with a possibility of extension up to 5 years.

Typically we look for candidates with backgrounds in soft matter physics, statistical mechanics, biological physics, quantitative biology, and/or molecular modelling. However, enthusiasm for science and research is the most important criterion.

About us: We develop models, rooted in statistical mechanics and soft matter physics, to describe collective non-equilibrium phenomena in living systems. IST Austria is an interdisciplinary international research institute on the outskirts of Vienna, equipped with state of the art facilities, vibrant community in soft matter and biophysics, excellent support for international mobility and career development, and competitive salaries. Vienna is a very nice place to live. <3 Please email andela . saric @ ist. ac. at.
