Built only from what the listing states. Lines marked (our advice) are ours.
The application takes real work, by our reading.

1. CHECK YOURSELF AGAINST WHAT THEY ASK
[ ] a postdoc or lecturer from a developing country outside Europe, researching or teaching at a higher education institution
[ ] held a grant administered by OeAD before, with at least 3 years since the last funded stay in Austria
[ ] aged 45 or under

2. WHAT TO GET READY
An online form; it names no documents. Some forms do not save as you go, so set aside time to do it in one sitting.
In their words: "Online application, linked from the OeAD page"

3. DATES
- Closes 1 February 2027, in 102 days.
- Aim to send it by 29 January 2027. Websites slow down near a deadline, and data runs out. (our advice)

A job never asks you to pay to apply. A listing that charges shows the fee above, and it is paid only to the organisation. If anyone asks for money any other way, stop, and tell us: hello@qualifyafrica.com
