CYD Fellowships 2027

The CYD Fellowships are a talent programme for cyber-defence research hosted by EPFL and the Cyber-Defence (CYD) Campus. They offer Master Thesis, Doctoral, and Distinguished Postdoctoral fellowships to candidates with outstanding academic and, if applicable, professional records. The programme supports research that brings together basic and applied research in security and data science to address cyber-defence challenges. Several awards are available and the fellowships are described as fully funded.

Fully funded support for Master thesis, Doctoral and Distinguished Postdoctoral research positions in cyber-defence; multiple awards available.

Candidates must have an outstanding academic and, if applicable, professional track record; applicants must have excellent grade transcripts and be currently studying for or be at Master, Doctoral or Post-doctoral level. Applicants are expected to conduct research in security and data science related to cyber-defence.

Prepare application using the application toolkit materials linked by EPFL; follow separate toolkits for Master Thesis and for Doctoral/Distinguished Postdoctoral applications. Doctoral and Distinguished Postdoctoral fellowships may be applied for twice a year; resubmissions permitted.
