THE MCAA NEWSLETTER STAFF
The Vienna BioCenter is one of Europe’s leading life science research centres. Four research institutes share a common vision in supporting fundamental science and in training scientists at the highest level. The Vienna International Postdoctoral Programme, VIP² is a new three-year fellowship programme, which will provide prime research conditions as well as a comprehensive scientific education scheme for postdoctoral scientists. English is the working language (no German is required or needed). Vienna is a fun, young city embedded in beautiful old buildings, an international metropolis in the heart of Europe, which is rated as the number one city in the world for quality of life.
The Vienna BioCenter offers an outstanding research environment, and VIP² will boost the careers of fellows by offering a structured training and career development programme under the principle “Inform, Inspire, Innovate”:
- Inform via structured mentoring and a training programme.
- Inspire by providing outstanding supervision within a vibrant life sciences research campus.
- Innovate by supporting fellows to make groundbreaking discoveries that enable them to become leaders in the academic sector and other sectors.
VIP² will foster exposure to different sectors and facilitate career transitions. The programme offers a two-mentor scheme (the second mentor can be from a different sector) and opportunities for a twomonth secondment. Fellows will be advised and supported by an inter-sectoral advisory board.
The research groups participating in VIP² cover the full scope of modern life sciences. The research topics range from structural to organismal biology, from gene expression to neurobiology, and from microbiology to molecular medicine. A similar diversity is seen in the research models that are being explored. The Vienna BioCenter has an extremely collaborative and collegial atmosphere, which is facilitated by opportunities for communication and interaction, like the campus seminar series and regular social events.
