SNSF Swiss Postdoctoral Fellowships 2023 (up to CHF 105,000)

Deadline: December 1, 2023

Applications are open for the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) Swiss Postdoctoral Fellowships 2023. Switzerland is considered a non-associated third country in the 2023 calls for project proposals in Horizon Europe (work programme 2023-2024) and related programmes and initiatives. For monobeneficiary schemes such as the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) Postdoctoral Fellowships, therefore, early-career researchers with destination Switzerland are not eligible to apply for European fellowships.

For this reason, the SNSF is offering an alternative, comparable call for proposals as part of the transitional measures in 2023. The aim is to maintain Switzerland’s strong position as a research hub. Applicants who intended to apply for an MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowship to pursue research and training in Switzerland under Horizon Europe can submit their proposal to the SNSF. 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.

Benefits

  • With the Swiss Postdoctoral Fellowships, the SNSF covers the recipients’ salary and social security costs. The average gross salary will be around CHF 105,000 per annum for a work-time quota of 100% (1 FTE). The SNSF and the HR office of the higher education institution where the grant holder is employed will define the precise salary for postdocs in accordance with the salary scales applied by the institution to researchers with comparable qualifications.
  • In addition to the recipients’ salary, project funds, including research costs directly linked to the implementation of the project, training and networking contributions, are also covered. Project funds must not exceed CHF 24,000 for a two-year grant. If the duration of the SNSF Swiss Postdoctoral Fellowship is less than 2 years, the maximum amount will be proportionately smaller.

Eligibility

  • Open to all research disciplines and topics.
  • Applicants must have a PhD degree and not more than eight years of postdoctoral experience.
  • They want to pursue further scientific training at a non-commercial research institution in Switzerland for 12-24 months.

Application

The proposal is submitted in one step and must include the research plan, the CV and major achievements (new CV format), the host institute’s confirmation and the supervisor’s support letter.

Draw up your SNSF Swiss Postdoctoral Fellowships application in accordance with the guidelines and submit it using the online platform mySNF.
