Your personal sphere of play:
The Institute for Austrian Historical Research has a long-standing tradition in the training of archivists. As part of the Faculty of Historical and Cultural Studies, which brings together all historical disciplines at the University of Vienna, it is an internationally recognized research and training center for historical methodology and auxiliary sciences (paleography, diplomatics, records management, source studies, etc.) as well as archival studies. The close institutional ties with Austrian archives in both teaching and research provide an excellent working environment for this position. Additional attractiveness is offered by the opportunities for cooperation with the faculty’s key research areas.

Your personal sphere of play:
We are looking for a dynamic, diplomatic and strategic thinker at the postdoctoral level to run the new Core Facility Animal Care (AC) at the University of Vienna Biology Building (UBB). The AC is grounded on basic research on animal behavior and cognition, but aims to connect researchers from related fields of expertise within the Faculty of Life Sciences, such as developmental and evolutionary biology and neuroscience.
As senior scientist and head of the AC, you will work closely with the existing research teams, and the non-scientific staff to create a critical mass and momentum, to foster excellent, integrated and impact-focused research in a state-of-the-art facility. You will actively contribute to the integration of existing and new working groups, the coordination and mentoring of staff and trainees, and the management of AC’s budget. Your further duties include the coordination of animal welfare approvals and ethical permissions, and the maintenance of the AC in compliance with animal welfare guidelines. You will be also responsible for internal and external communication and strategically guide our disseminations and PR activities to increase visibility.
We are looking for a researcher with advanced skills in animal behavior and/or animal welfare, with experience in the organization of animal research including coordination of staff and trainees, handling of animal experimentation licenses and dissemination strategies. We would expect a dynamic, open-minded, analytical, task-focused and socially skilled person with a good understanding of leadership and communication in both English and German language.
