VBC Interdisciplinary Postdoctoral Program 3 (VIP-3)

Objective

VIP-3 represents a prestigious program that sets new standards in postdoctoral training and will contribute to Europe’s competitiveness in attracting the most talented young scientists worldwide. VIP-3 fellows will be required to move out of their comfort zone and develop unique interdisciplinary or intersectoral projects in two laboratories located at the Vienna BioCenter (VBC), which comprises of 6 research institutions, 4 service companies, a business incubator and 39 biotech companies. VIP-3 will thus attract excellent young scientists to a vibrant, collaborative research community located in one of the most liveable cities in the world. The application and selection process of VIP-3 follows a transparent procedure open to highly motivated and talented young scientists of all nationalities. The candidates’ performance and qualities will be evaluated by external, international, unbiased experts. The application and selection procedures will comply with procedures that ensure gender fairness and equal opportunities.
VIP-3 will transform and enhance postdoctoral training and mentorship at the VBC. Each fellow i) will choose two supervisors and a third career-development mentor ii) will have access to a wide network for career opportunities, iii) will gain international and intersectoral exposure through connections to our global associate partner institutions, and vi) may take an up to 6-month ‘secondment’ in a sector of their choice. A leadership program will provide each fellow with skills such as self-assessment, effective communication, conflict management, and project management. All activities are overseen by the VIP-3 Advisory Board (VAB), which has been specifically selected with intersectorality in mind.
VIP-3 will prepare the future scientific leaders who will shape where research, innovation and society will head in the years to come within or outside academia.
