Life-sciences initiative targets young scientists.
Announced on 10 February, the Vienna International Post-Graduate Program for Molecular Life Sciences marks a targeted effort to attract young researchers to the city. Based at the Max F. Perutz Laboratories, 18 participants will receive 3–5 years of postdoctoral funding, career-development training and guidance on establishing their own independent research projects and labs. The postdocs will receive an annual salary of around €45,000 (US$61,000) plus €14,000 for research and travel expenses. The total initial programme funding is €5 million, jointly supported by the city of Vienna and the Austrian Federal Ministry of Science and Research.
