[Education]

-------- Original Message --------


Dear Friends and Colleagues,

I am writing to ask for your help in publicizing IIASA's Postdoctoral 
Program for 2013. *The application deadline is February 28*. 
  Applications are invited from candidates in natural and social 
sciences, mathematics, policy, and engineering, within 5 years of their 
doctoral degree, or who anticipate completing their degree in time to 
take up the post in 2013.


Please help by forwarding the announcement to as many appropriate 
graduate students, graduate department secretaries, university careers 
offices, and listservs as possible. Information on the eligibility for 
and terms of the postdoc, which is fully funded for 1-2 years, can be 
found at the IIASA postdoc website 
<http://www.iiasa.ac.at/web/home/education/postdoctoralProgram/Apply/Application-2012.en.html>. 
  The online application for the position is also available there.


A list of IIASA's Global Problem Areas and Research Programs is listed 
below, and much more information on the research activities is available 
on the Website.  Communication with the relevant program representatives 
<http://www.iiasa.ac.at/web/home/education/postdoctoralProgram/Apply/Program_Representatives.pdf>  is 
strongly encouraged at the earliest possible stage, and before 
submitting an application. This level of personal interaction is vital 
not only to discuss research ideas and ascertain their relevance to 
IIASA’s scientific agenda but it also allows much more realistic 
formulation of research plans and expectations on the part of both IIASA 
and the applicant. An introductory e-mail to a representative is 
preferred as a means of first contact.


Once the selection procedure has come to a close, accepted candidates 
are offered:

  * an allowance for relocation expenses to and from Laxenburg;
  * support for monthly business travel;
  * a salary that is internationally competitive and commensurate with
    experience and qualifications. It is exempt from taxation in
    Austria, but subject to the principle of income aggregation.

In addition, all appointees are eligible for either state or private 
health insurance.


Please contact the Tanja Huber, IIASA’s Postdoctoral Program 
Coordinator, with questions about the program.  She can be reached at 
huber at iiasa.ac.at <mailto:poor at iiasa.ac.at>.

Very truly yours,

Maggie Goud Collins
