Applications are being invited for outstanding early-career scientists (up to eight years after PhD), interested in building their independent research group in the field of Information and Communication Technology at TU Wien. The proposed research area should contribute to the scientific advancement of the ICT field and demonstrate relevance to industry with a strong potential for mid-term technological and societal impact.

The selection follows a two-stage process: In stage one applicants apply for a tenure-track professorship at TU Wien (deadline 15 December 2022). In stage two, applicants apply for a WWTF grant together with a proponent of the applicant’s choice from TU Wien (deadline 15 March 2023).

The 14th Vienna Research Groups for Young Investigators call 2023 (https://wwtf.at/funding/programmes/vrg/#VRG23) is issued for up to three group leader positions as part of the WWTF’s Information and Communication Technology programme. WWTF especially encourages female candidates and takes unconventional research careers into consideration.

The WWTF grant amounts up to EUR 1.6 million for a total of 6-8 years. Successful candidates will be offered an Assistant-Professor position with tenure track at TU Wien.

The new research group will be part of the Security and Privacy research unit (https://secpriv.wien).
