Researchers of all nationalities with 2 to 7 years of experience since completing their PhD, a promising scientific track record and an outstanding research proposal are eligible to apply. Applications can be submitted in any research area.

The call is closed
To submit an application, you need a written confirmation from the research institution.
At UZH, you will receive the confirmation letter via the approval process in AVA, the UZH third-party funding platform.
On AVA you will also find help with budgeting your project.
Please contact the responsible persons at the institute, seminar or clinic at an early stage to discuss aspects of the scientific connection as well as the available resources (premises, infrastructure, etc.).
You can register on AVA with your UZH login (short name and password).
If you do not (yet) have a UZH login, an administrative employee of the host institution can enter the project data in AVA on your behalf and then send you the confirmation letter.
Alternatively, a guest UZH login can be requested via the institute's IT manager.
Once the approval process has been completed, you can download the confirmation letter as a PDF.
