What it covers

• The fellowship covers a contribution to the salary of the postdoctoral researcher of appr. 50% per year (EPFL salary scales apply).

EPFL Human Resources guidelines and practices apply with regard to social security. • A maximum amount of CHF 5’000 per fellowship year can be granted for research costs, open research data costs, open access publication costs, travels and conferences. These costs need to be justified in the budget and in the financial report. Any additional costs for research expenses, travel, etc. need to be covered by the host Professor(s). • The host laboratories commit to making the necessary infrastructure available to the postdoctoral researcher (e.g., office space, laboratory space and equipment, administrative support).
