Please send us an informative letter of motivation and a CV that is complete and up to date.

To complete your application, please also add reference letters from your previous jobs and educational certificates and diplomas. These documents are required to give us an accurate picture of your experience.

Applying for senior faculty positions: For information about the required documents, please see the position announcement and/or the application form.

At WU, each open position is advertised separately in a closed-loop process.

This means that we unfortunately cannot process any applications that do not include a  reference number for a specific job opening.

If you want to apply for more than one open position, you will also have to re-apply for each specific reference number.

The application form cannot be saved before submitting. For this reason, we recommend making sure you have reviewed all the documents you want to include with your application and have them ready to upload before beginning.

If you forgot to include something with your application, you are welcome to send us the missing information or documents by email. You can either contact recruiting@wu.ac.at​​​​​​​ or simply reply to the confirmation of receipt email. We will be happy to add the documents to your application.

Please contact recruiting@wu.ac.at!

Application periods are open for a minimum of 3 weeks and can be extended if necessary. For information on the application deadline for a specific position, please see the advertisement for the individual job opening. Applications submitted after the deadline can unfortunately not be processed.

If the opening is no longer listed, the application period has expired. This means that no further applications are being accepted for the job opening with this reference number.

As you certainly know, the selection process is time-consuming. If you have been selected for a personal interview, we will usually be in touch soon after the expiration of the application period. If your application is not shortlisted for selection, you will be notified after the end of the recruiting process.
