PhD degree achieved after 31 December 2016 and before 31 July 2020 (PhD

of the scholarship.

beginning of the scholarship in September are not eligible.

Applicants must provide a letter from an academic host professor (including

her/his short CV) at the chosen Swiss university confirming why she/he is willing

to supervise and support the postdoctoral research. Without such support, the

application will be rejected.

Not accepted as academic supervisors for postdoctoral scholarship applicants

are their former PhD mentors and their co-directors for the cotutelle PhD if the

academic supervisor is at a Swiss university.

Applicants must have a research proposal including a timeframe. This is the

the postdoctoral research.
