The start-up grants will be transferred to successful candidates in two installments of CHF 15'000 each; one in April 2025 and the second one in October 2025 after evaluation of the candidates' activities during the first six months.Your positionThe scholarships are meant to support graduates in the early stages of their PhD, during which they will develop research proposals for submission to a funding body such as the Swiss National Science Foundation in order to acquire financial support for the remaining duration of their PhD-projects.
