External Funding for Postdocs

The Grant Office supports postdocs in applying for fellowships. Next to workshops dedicated for the major fellowship schemes, it also provides 1-1 feedback on proposals. Make sure to get in touch with your GO officer at least one month before the deadline of a call. Otherwise the GO cannot guarantee effective support!

For more information on current fellowship opportunities go to the website of the Grant Office, the Grant Office intranet page and/or write to grants@ista.ac.at.
