It depends on your supervisor and his or her research projects if this is possible. The modality of employment depends on the type of the financing research project and the habits of the institute and accordingly the research group. See <a href=\"https:\/\/fsdr.at\/index.php\/employment\/\">Employment<\/a> for more details about the different types of employment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In case that you don\u2019t have a supervisor there are several possibilities to look for offered thesis subjects including an employment.

There is for example the Funding Programme for temporary early-stage researchers WINA+. This programme offers the possibility of participation in workshops and the support of young researchers. An other example is the support for conferences or research leave. Such a support is managed by the <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tuwien.at\/en\/tu-wien\/organisation\/central-divisions\/international-office\" target=\"_blank\">International Office of the TU Wien<\/a>. The third example is support from your faculty. Some faculties support their doctoral candidates.
