Your position



The one-year start-up grant (application deadline: November 17, 2024; start date: April 1, 2025) is intended to contribute to living expenses during the elaboration phase of a dissertation project in literary studies. The aim of the start-up grant is to prepare and submit a competitive application for follow-up funding or for project employment to the appropriate institutions within six months, in order to then seamlessly continue the dissertation within the framework of third-party funding. The start-up grant of CHF 30,000 will be paid in two half-yearly tranches of CHF 15,000 each (with evaluation).
