Early Stage Career Researchers

IHS provides training opportunities for junior researchers in the fields of economics and social sciences. Students and doctoral candidates engage in research projects while receiving support for their academic qualifications at their universities. This approach is unique within Austria’s scientific community.

The Doctoral College supports early-career scientists (Junior Researchers) working at the institute. These Junior Researchers come from various fields of economic and social research and are expected to pursue a PhD at university while being fully involved in research projects at IHS.

In addition to having a university supervisor, each Junior Researcher is guided by a mentor at IHS. These mentors are experienced researchers committed to supporting their mentees' dissertation projects.
