Grants: SNSF Eccellenza Professorial Fellowships and Postdoc.Mobility Fellowships

SNSF Eccellenza Professorial Fellowships are aimed at highly qualified researchers who aspire to a permanent professorship. Postdoc.Mobility fellowships support postdocs who wish to conduct a research stay abroad. For both calls, the deadline is 1 February 2021.

SNSF Eccellenza Professorial Fellowships are aimed at highly qualified researchers who aspire to a permanent professorship. Eccellenza supports them in achieving their goal by allowing them to lead a generously funded research project as an assistant professor with their team at a Swiss higher education institution. Eccellenza covers the grantee's salary at the local rates applicable to assistant professorships and project funds of up to 1,000,000 Swiss francs for a five-year period.

Postdoc.Mobility fellowships support postdocs who wish to conduct a research stay abroad. The fellowships are aimed at researchers with a doctorate and at researchers who will complete their doctorate within nine months after the submission deadline. Researchers with a medical degree that includes a doctorate are also eligible to apply. The fellowships are generally awarded for 24 months, but never for less than 12 months.

Deadline for applications (both calls): 1 February 2021.
