As part of the ERC-funded project Genes in Space led by Himani Sachdeva, we have currently multiple PhD and postdoc openings at the University of Vienna. Although our work is primarily theoretical, there is ample scope to develop projects at the theory-data interface, potentially with collaborators working on genomic inference in natural populations. If you are interested, please send application materials to himani.sachdeva@univie.ac.at by September 15th, 2025 at the latest.

Details on the positions and required documents are provided in this pdf.

Furthermore...

... new opportunities may always arise, and interested students are encouraged to contact Joachim Hermisson or one of the staff members. We can then talk about future job openings, joint grant applications etc. However, to receive consideration, please make clear your specific interest in mathematical biology and in the work of our group, as well as your specific qualifications. Inquiries without any direct relation to our work will not be answered.
