Applications are currently being accepted for the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) Postdoc.Mobility Fellowships 2026. Interested applicants are encouraged to click here to learn more about this opportunity and apply for it.
Postdoc.Mobility fellowships are aimed at researchers who have done a doctorate and who wish to conduct a research stay abroad. The objective of a research stay abroad is to enable them to acquire more in-depth knowledge, to extend their scientific network and independence and to enhance their research profile, in view of a future scientific or academic career in Switzerland.
The main participation requirements are listed below. Please consult the Postdoc.Mobility regulations and the guidelines to determine your formal eligibility.
The precise periods are calculated on the basis of the relevant submission deadline.
A completed doctorate (PhD, MD-PhD) or completed medical studies in human, dental, veterinary, social or preventive medicine with a doctorate (MD), or completion of the doctorate within the next 6 months.
Submission up to 3 years after the doctoral exam (PhD, MD-PhD); the date of the examination, respectively the defence of the doctoral thesis is the relevant date.
Medical researchers without MD-PhD: submission up to 8 years after the state examination and at least 3 years of clinical activity after the state examination.
Swiss nationality, holder of Swiss permanent settlement permit (C-permit), married to a Swiss national or co-habiting with a Swiss national in a registered partnership. The C-permit should either be valid at the submission deadline or should have expired no more than 6 months before the submission deadline.
Applicants who are not Swiss, do not have a Swiss permanent settlement permit, are not married to or in a registered partnership with a Swiss national may nevertheless be admitted, provided that they are conducting or have conducted their doctoral studies (PhD, MD) at a Swiss higher education institution, or that they obtained their state examination in Switzerland, and had not held a postdoctoral position abroad prior to the submission deadline.
