ETH Fellows

The ETH Fellows is a two-year postdoctoral fellowship at ETH Zurich intended to support early-career researchers. It requires a sponsoring ETH Zurich professor as a mentor and offers a competitive, prestigious path to an independent research project. The program aims to develop future university leaders and provides a full salary with additional research funding.

Full salary; annual research allowance; mentorship from an ETH Zurich professor; potential to establish an independent research project with institutional support.

Applicants must hold a PhD or be close to completion within six months, secure a mentor at ETH Zurich, and demonstrate a strong research track record.

Prepare an independent research proposal with a potential ETH mentor, obtain two external letters of recommendation, secure a mentor’s support letter, and submit via ETH Zurich’s eResearch application system.
