ETH Zurich Postdoctoral Fellowships 2022 in Switzerland [Fully Funded]

Applications are now open for ETH Zurich Postdoctoral Fellowships 2022 in Switzerland for International students. The ETH Zurich Postdoctoral Fellowship program (ETH Fellows) supports incoming postdoctoral researchers at ETH Zurich. 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. Thus, it is important that applicants come up with their own ideas and draft the application themselves, and that the applicant and mentor have not closely collaborated prior to the fellowship.
