Research Institute of Molecular Pathology (IMP)

Half a year ago, we celebrated six exceptional young scientists who won the Birnstiel Award 2025. Do you know a PhD student who is a rising star in molecular biology? Now is the time to nominate for the 2026 awards! Deadline 30 June, see: https://lnkd.in/d-YrHnk2

The International Birnstiel Award for Doctoral Research in Molecular Life Sciences highlights outstanding talent in molecular biology and celebrates research successes of young, up-and-coming scientists. Current call is open until 30 June.

The Research Institute of Molecular Pathology (IMP) has an open call for junior group leader positions. The IMP is a curiosity-driven biomedical research institute, internationally recognised for research excellence and impactful discoveries. Part of the Vienna BioCenter, a thriving, interdisciplinary campus, the IMP offers an exceptional environment for ambitious scientists to develop and lead their own research group. Insider's insight: I frequently hear PIs praise the collaborative work culture and good spirit at IMP/IMBA/GMI. Interested? More here: https://lnkd.in/dq_KUYkb

I ran a quick-and-dirty survey on what scientists enjoy about working at the Research Institute of Molecular Pathology (IMP). I’ll now individually post the five replies that came up most often… NUMBER 4: LIFE IN #VIENNA – famous for its high quality of life. Some of my international colleagues also highlighted childcare options and the ease of travelling back to their home countries. Stay tuned for more… (photo by Lukas Beck)

I’ll now individually post the five replies that came up most often… NUMBER 5: SPECIFIC RESEARCH AREAS. #RNA, #StructuralBiology, #GeneRegulation, #DevelopmentalBiology, #cancer, #immunology – there is something for everyone, and most people are drawn to certain groups. So I ended up bundling this category. Stay tuned for more… (photo by Lukas Beck)
