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.  The online application for the position is also available there.

Communication with the relevant program representatives  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.

>> an allowance for relocation expenses to and from Laxenburg;
