VBC Faculty What do I look for in a PhD applicant? creative JULIUS BRENNECKE (piRNAs & GENETICS, IMBA) At the basis of most scientific breakthroughs is an experiment that yields the unexpected. I look for students who are driven by curiosity, who like to puzzle and - equally important - who like to challenge themselves and their surroundings with questions. I think the most successful students are those for whom science is like a hobby. For one’s dreams no hurdle seems too high, no effort seems too big. LUISA COCHELLA (microRNAs & DEVELOPMENT, IMP) Above all, motivation and passion for science. This usually comes together with additional qualities, such as care and attention for carrying out experiments carefully and rigorously, the drive to learn and expand knowledge and skills, willingness to discuss and share results and ideas, and perseverance even during times when things don’t work as expected. Of course this alone is not sufficient without a minimal knowledge and skill set and so previous experience and background are also something that I take into account. MAGNUS NORDBORG (POPULATION GENETICS, GMI) Intelligence, creativity, and a burning interest in science. KRISTIN TESSMAR (NEUROSCIENCE & MOLECULAR CLOCKS, MFPL) Intrinsic curiosity and energy, attention to the detail, perseverance. passion for science dedication “ For a PhD you want to be at one of the best places in Europe or the entire world. The VBC is amongst these. You will experience excellent science – to which you will contribute - and a fantastic overall training for your next step.

Research Areas The first and foremost criterion for research at the Vienna Biocenter is scientific excellence. Our research groups focus on a variety of biological questions, using a wide range of model organisms. This creates a multidisciplinary environment where collaborations naturally develop.
