Every year a number of postdoctoral scholarships are available for research on topics related to the IIASA research agenda. Each scholarship has its own appointment procedure and funding source:

• IIASA Postdoctoral Program
• Kempe Foundation, Sweden
• Academy of Finland

From time to time, additional postdoctoral scholarships become available through external grants awarded to IIASA's research programs; such opportunities will be advertised separately, if and when they arise.

The goals of the IIASA Postdoctoral Program are:

• to encourage and promote the development of young researchers and offer them the opportunity to further their careers by gaining hands-on professional research experience in a highly international scientific environment; and
• to enrich IIASA’s intellectual environment and help achieve research program goals.

Candidates are required to develop and submit a research proposal that interfaces their own research interests with the research agenda of one of the various activities pursued at IIASA.

The awards, which are of up to 2 years' duration, are the result of a competitive process and carry special recognition both within and outside the Institute.

As well as the special prestige attached to a postdoctoral award at IIASA, recipients enjoy a substantial number of professional benefits as well as a competitive remuneration package.
