The University of Vienna has an anti-discriminatory employment policy and attached great importance to equal opportunities, the advancement of women and diversity. We lay special emphasis on increasing the number of women in senior and academic positions among the academic and generic university staff and therefore expressly encourage qualified women to apply. Given equal qualifications, preference will be given to female candidates.

The Human Resources and Gender Equality Office of the University of Vienna provides services that aim to ensure equal opportunities for all members of the university.

Within this framework, the VDS-PhaNuSpo strives to strengthen equal opportunity and career development, independent of gender, nationality, disabilities, sexual preferences or religion, and to support compatibility between family and work/ training.
