Subject: Unique Funding Opportunity for Postdocs

Dear colleague,

 

Please allow me to direct your attention to the Branco Weiss Fellowship whose recruiting campaign has just started (deadline 15 January 2023). Over ten years ago, Branco Weiss, a Swiss entrepreneur and patron of the sciences, made a donation to support excellent, exceptional postdocs to follow their personal vision of a particular scientific project outside the mainstream ([https://brancoweissfellowship.org)/]https://brancoweissfellowship.org). The fellowship is awarded to postdocs for up to five years and although it is hosted at ETH Zurich, fellows have the freedom to perform their project at the best fitting academic institution around the globe.

 

Over the last years, the Branco Weiss Fellowship - Society in Science has grown into a vibrant community of postdocs and former fellows who share a passion for exploring new avenues in research outside the mainstream. Researchers who have earned or will earn a PhD degree between 15 January 2018 and 15 January 2023 are eligible to apply for a Branco Weiss Fellowship. If they succeed during the selection process, they will receive financial support for up to five years.

 

I would be very pleased if you could communicate the unique opportunity offered by this fellowship within your university. Applications from all disciplines, including social sciences and humanities, are encouraged. The selection committee is particularly eager to hear about research topics not yet represented in the fellowship.

 

You will find material for your university’s career center on a dedicated landing page (https://brancoweissfellowship.org/campaign-material.html). These include posters for bulletin boards, infoscreen content, and PDF flyers for email distribution.

For further questions, please do not hesitate to contact the administrative team of The Branco Weiss Fellowship at brancoweis...@ethz.ch.

 

We would be very happy to welcome a young scientist from your university to our fellowship.

 

Kind regards

 

Detlef Günther

Vice President for Research, ETH Zurich

Patron of the Branco Weiss Fellowship
