Established on January 1, 2024, we are continuously developing services for our postdoctoral researchers, with a strong emphasis on career support and community building. As part of the Research Services and Career Development unit, we provide support to approximately 1,100 postdocs across the University of Vienna.

The Postdoc Advisory Board
The mission of the postdoc Advisory Board is to act as a sounding board for the Vice-Rector for Research and International Affairs and the DLE Research Services and Career Development where the Postdoc project is located, to best support the development and expansion of postdoc services at the University of Vienna. It allows the project to access expertise, explore new opportunities and get a wide range of feedback from all faculties of the university. In addition, the Advisory Board brings feedback from the postdocs directly into the project.
The role of an Advisory Board is to provide knowledge and critical thinking and analysis to support the decision-making process.

- Barbara Bayer (Centre for Microbiology and Environmental Systems Science)
- Anna Pospech Durnova (Faculty of Social Sciences)
