Supervision plays a key role in doctoral education. Supervisors provide feedback and guidance and support doctoral candidates in successfully completing their research project.
The Vienna Doctoral School of Ecology and Evolution includes a number of highly experienced supervisors who provide excellent infrastructure and conditions for conducting research. Candiates are invited to get in touch with our faculty members and discuss their research projects and ideas with them.
