Applications are now open for ETH Zurich Postdoctoral Fellowships 2024 in Switzerland for international students. The ETH Zurich Postdoctoral Fellowship (ETH Fellows) program supports upcoming postdoctoral researchers at ETH Zurich. The program aims to promote young researchers who have already demonstrated scientific excellence in the early stages of their careers.
These fellowships aim to provide early support for achieving academic independence, and therefore priority will be given to applicants who propose their own projects. Therefore, it is important that applicants come up with their own ideas and draft the application themselves, and that the applicant and mentor have not collaborated closely prior to the fellowship.
