The NOMIS-ISTA Fellowship Program at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA) offers excellent postdoctoral researchers the freedom to work on questions at the intersection of two or more scientific disciplines in a unique scientific environment, while also providing the security of outstanding scientific mentorship from proven leaders in their respective fields. A cross-discipline project proposal, to be co-supervised by two group leaders from different disciplines, identifies projects and fellows who demonstrate great flexibility, creativity and collaboration.
All research fields supported at ISTA will be eligible (see https://ista.ac.at/en/research). Should the specific interdisciplinary expertise required for the proposed research not be available at ISTA, an external secondary supervisor can be proposed. This external supervisor can provide the fellow with a secondment of up to three months per fellowship year.
NOMIS and ISTA shall award two NOMIS-ISTA fellowships annually, following a two-stage application process (including interview).
The call will open on March 25, 2024 with a deadline for applications of June 13, 2024 (14:00 CEST).
Please see the Guide for Applicants, FAQs and Ethics Self-Assessment form before applying.
In the meantime, please direct any questions you may have on the program to nomis-fellowship@ista.ac.at.
ISTA Austria is a multidisciplinary research institution dedicated to cutting-edge basic research in the natural, mathematical, and computer sciences.
