The Vienna Biocenter PhD programme in Molecular Life Sciences is a programme for talented and highly motivated students of any nationality; we put particular importance on having a good mix of students from various countries. Research at the VBC covers a range of topics in modern biological sciences, including gene regulation, cell division, neural circuits, and evolutionary genomics (www.vbcphdprogramme.at <http://www.vbcphdprogramme.at/> ). The programme supports its students in their scientific explorations, providing state-of-the-art equipment, expert scientific advisors, and extensive scientific and administrative support. The VBC PhD programme is the place for young researchers to put their creativity, ideas, and enthusiasm to work, addressing fundamental questions about how life works. It’s also not just about science – Vienna is consistently rated as one of the top cities in the world for quality of life. It is a fun, young city embedded in beautiful old buildings, horse-drawn carriages, and traditional coffee houses. There’s plenty to do: restaurants, cafés, theater, bars, clubs, movies, sports – so students certainly won’t be bored here! I would be grateful if you could pass our information on to any students that might be interested.
