Many of the world’s most pressing environmental issues including climate change, biodiversity loss and environmental pollution, are highly complex and require cross-cutting interdisciplinary collaboration at the forefront and intersections of disciplines. To address these important and topical challenges, the University of Vienna established the Environment and Climate Research Hub (ECH) in 2022 to create a critical mass and momentum and to foster excellent research in the field of environment and climate. 

The ECH is seeking expressions of interest by postdoctoral researchers employed at the University of Vienna from all disciplines who want to be active in the Hub. Eligible are high-profile postdoctoral researchers and senior scientists who actively work in the field of Environment & Climate research. Scientific excellence, a keen willingness to actively contribute to the Hubs activities such as participation in upcoming retreats, research workshops or conferences, and outreach activities are expected.

Interested early career researchers are requested to send the following by 29th May 2023 to ECH@univie.ac.at in one pdf file:
