Through funding from the UZH Postdoc Grants, the University of Zurich supports its early career researchers at the postdoctoral level. Qualified postdoctoral researchers embarking on an academic career receive UZH Postdoc Grant funding to support them in carrying out a research project at the UZH. Primarily salary funds are granted in order to provide researchers with protected research time for their project.
