ETH Zurich Postdoctoral Fellowships
The ETH Zurich Postdoc Fellowship program supports incoming excellent postdoctoral researchers/scientists at ETH Zurich. The program is envisioned to encourage young researchers with demonstrated scientific excellence.
The candidate and the potential host jointly should make applications. The host must be an ETH Zurich professor willing to take the mentorship of the fellow. A professor may only submit one candidate in each evaluation round. Effective synergies between the host (group) and the ETH Fellow must exist. The scholarships are projected as early support toward academic independence and excellence. Therefore, priority will be given to candidates who propose their projects. Thus, it is essential that applicants come up with novel ideas and draft the application themselves and that the candidate and mentor should not have closely collaborated before the fellowship.
Fellowship: An ETH Fellowship lasts two years and cannot be prolonged. The fellowship is competitive, with only a few scholarships available each year.
Qualifications/Eligibility
Timeline
Submission time limits are 1 March and 1 September at 17:00 Swiss local time each year.
