The most valuable asset in any research institution is its people—especially postdocs and students. They drive discovery and bring new perspectives. Our vision is to create an environment free of barriers—financial, technical, or intellectual—where early-career scientists can pursue bold ideas, collaborate freely, and grow into independent researchers.
We welcome applications from motivated individuals at all levels, including postdoctoral fellows, PhD candidates, and undergraduate students. We value curiosity, experimental rigor, creativity, and a collaborative mindset. Prior experience in RNA biology, biochemistry, computational biology, or genetics is a plus, but not essential.
A major strength of our lab is our close integration within the collaborative ecosystem of the Vienna BioCenter. Many of our projects benefit from ongoing partnerships with neighboring groups, including:
Several students and postdocs have pursued joint projects across labs, often holding shared affiliations and developing highly independent research at the intersection of complementary fields.
If you're excited about our science and want to be part of this collaborative and dynamic research environment, we’d love to hear from you. Please send your application to:
