IIASA YOUNG SCIENTISTS PHD SUMMER PROGRAM.

Application Deadline: 12 January 2024 (midnight CEST)

LOCATION: Austria

IIASA offers a summer program for PhD students to undertake a scientific project on a topic related to the IIASA research agenda. Two letters of reference are required (to be received by latest 24 hours past application deadline). 

ELIGIBILITY:

Applicants from all countries are welcome, although IIASA gives priority to citizens or residents of National Member Organizations (NMO) countries.

The program is designed for Ph.D. students (ideally about 2 years prior to receiving their Ph.D.) working on a topic compatible with ongoing research at IIASA and a wish to explore the policy implications of their work. They will produce a paper (serving as the first step towards a publishable journal article) and will get the opportunity to build up contacts for future collaboration within the institute’s worldwide network.

Participation in the YSSP is only possible for one summer (however, you may apply several times) and you will need to be present at the institute (i.e. no fieldwork or working remotely) for the full duration of the program.

BENEFIT:

Applicants can choose to work with up to two programs. 

Participants will be working under the direct mentorship of an experienced IIASA scientist in a unique interdisciplinary and international research environment.
