Funding for Postdocs
If you intend to launch an independent academic career, acquiring third-party funding is important, and increasingly so in times of severe budget constraints. Having your own funding will help you gain scientific independence, demonstrate competitiveness, and very often works as a stepstone towards faculty and other senior research positions, both in academia and the private sector.
Inform yourself about the funding opportunities and their eligibility requirements, and carefully study the information provided below, including the corresponding guidelines of the various funding instruments. If you have further questions about which instruments are suitable for your needs, please contact the Grants Office: grants@sl.ethz.ch.
We organise regular events on funding for postdocs. You can find more information and the presentation of the last event on the dedicated website.
