The Max F. Perutz Laboratories invite talented students from all over the world to apply for our graduate program. We provide a comprehensive and challenging PhD education. At the MFPL we emphasize student mentoring and aim to nurture creative and independent scientists. Our research covers a broad range of areas dedicated to exploring life at the cellular, molecular and atomic level. Located at the Vienna Biocenter Campus, a major European science hub, our students greatly benefit from the opportunity to do cutting-edge research in a prolific international environment.

The Max F. Perutz Labs are a joint-venture of the University of Vienna and the Medical University of Vienna. All MFPL PhD students are employed with an internationally competitive salary according to the guidelines of the Austrian Research Funds (FWF). The program is open to everyone who holds a Master’s degree (or equivalent degree) in the biosciences, chemistry, medicine, or related fields. The language of the PhD Program is English. Students are recruited by a structured selection and interview process. The PhD degree will be awarded by the Vienna University or the Medical University of Vienna.
