join our team!
We are an international research team with several ongoing ERC- and WWTF-funded research projects that aim to understand the neurobiological mechanisms and functions of signaling molecules and synaptic circuits in the brain using electrophysiological, behavioral, genetic and in vivo imaging tools. We welcome interested and highly motivated scientists from all over the world. See details and current job announcements below.
Master thesis and research internships
Inquiries from highly talented and motivated students who are interested in a 6-12 months research internship and/or MSc thesis project are always welcome. Registration with your current home university is required. Application for ERASMUS fellowships or other funding opportunities (click here for a fellowship database) is highly recommended. For pre-inquiries, contact sarah.melzer@meduniwien.ac.at and attach your CV, motivation letter and transcript of record.
Research technicians
Unfortunately, all research technician positions are currently filled. If you are interested in supporting our team with behavioral testing, staining techniques, histology and general lab maintenance, please check this website regularly for new job postings. For non-EU citizens, please familiarize yourself with visa requirements: Entry and Residence | OeAD

To apply through a more centralized process at MedUni Vienna with a chance to interview with several PIs across different fields, please apply through the MedUni Vienna PhD program here.
Postdoctoral candidates
Are you interested in understanding how neuropeptides modulate molecular pathways, electrophysiological properties and network function? We are searching for candidates with strong experimental (electrophysiology or in vivo imaging) background and advanced coding experience in MATLAB or Python. Apply for external postdoctoral funding and join our team. Check this short list and comprehensive database as well as your national funding programs.
