ETH Zürich Postdoctoral Fellowship | Faculty of Applied Physics and Mathematics at the Gdańsk University of Technology

Applications have to be made jointly by the candidate and the potential host, who must be an ETH Zurich professor and willing to act as the mentor of the fellow. A professor may only submit with one candidate in each evaluation round. The duration of an ETH Fellowship is two years and cannot be prolonged. The fellowship is competitive with only a limited number of fellowships available each year. The success rate was about 25% in the last rounds.

At the time of the submission deadline, applicants must hold a doctorate (PhD) or will complete their doctorate within the next six months.

Applicants may not have resided or carried out their main activity (work, studies, etc.) in Switzerland for more than twelve months in the three years immediately before the submission deadline.

The fellowship covers the fellow's salary (100%, based on ETH standards). As of 2022, the following rates apply:

• Year 1: CHF 89,050 Gross salary,
• Year 2: CHF 93,520 Gross salary.

ETH Fellows are also entitled to CHF 12,000 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.

Applications must be submitted electronically in pdf format using the dedicated online system.

Proposals are assessed in the first step, after which selected candidates are invited to interviews.

The interview takes place online and lasts about 15 minutes.

Submission deadlines are 1 March and 1 September at 17:00 Swiss local time each year.
