Outstanding early-career scientists (2-8 y post PhD), interested in building up their independent research group in the announced field are encouraged to apply.
This group shall strive to improve the understanding of substantial current scientific research questions in the field of data science that lead to applicable solutions in and together with other disciplines with potential medium term economic or social benefits. The ability to bridge disciplines is thus a key evaluation criterion. New interdisciplinary combinations are also encouraged.
The aim of this announcement is to look for and attract exceptional candidates, who, once selected, will then go on to submit an application in tandem together with an experienced scientist at the Faculty of Informatics, TU Wien, for the call for young researchers by the Vienna Science and Technology Fund (WWTF).
