ETH Zurich Postdoctoral Fellowships (ETH Fellows)

07/03/2024

01/09/2024

The program is intended to foster young researchers who have already demonstrated scientific excellence in the early stages of their careers. The fellowships are intended as early support towards academic independence, hence priority will be given to applicants who propose their own projects. The total rates must be used for budgeting. They include 15.0% social security contributions to be paid by ETH Zurich. ETH Fellows are also entitled to CHF 10,000 per year for research expenses, including travel/mobility allowances and research cost contributions. The budget allocated for travel and research costs may not be used to cover salary costs, and vice versa.
