Education and career

Schindler earned a diploma in physics at the University of Erlangen–Nuremberg in 1987, and completed a doctorate (Dr. rer. nat.) in physics at Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich in 1992. While a doctoral student, she also worked as a researcher at the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics, Max Planck Institute for Astrophysics, and Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics. [1]

After postdoctoral research supported by the Humboldt Foundation at the University of California, Santa Cruz and Lick Observatory, and continued work as a researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics and Liverpool John Moores University, she became a full professor at the University of Innsbruck in 2002. There, she directed the Institute for Astro- and Particle Physics from 2004 to 2012, and served as vice rector for research from 2014 to 2017. [1]

While maintaining her affiliation at Innsbruck, Schindler has been rector of UMIT - Private University for Health Sciences, Medical Informatics and Technology since 2014. [1] She has announced her plans to retire as rector in 2020 in order to devote more time to her research, supported by a fellowship from the Swiss-based International Space Science Institute. [2]

Recognition

Schindler became a corresponding member of the Austrian Academy of Sciences in 2006, [1] and has been a full member since 2010. [1] [3] She was elected to the International Academy of Astronautics in 2013. [1]
