Grants for early career researchers who want to have an expert scientific training and to develop their academic career in Switzerland.
The SNSF launched this scheme on the government’s behalf following Switzerland’s non-association to Horizon Europe. It is aimed at researchers who intended to apply for a fellowship under the Marie Sklodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellowships Actions (MSCA).
Eligibility
The scheme is open to all research disciplines and topics. This funding scheme will offer applicants with a PhD and no more than eight years of postdoctoral experience a position at a non-commercial research institution in Switzerland for 12-24 months. The grant includes the postdoctoral fellow’s salary as well as social security contributions and contributions to research and conference costs.
The SNSF will extend transitional measures in 2023 on behalf of the federal government: SNSF Swiss Postdoctoral Fellowships. More detailed information on this call SNSF will follow.
