Offering Unique Postdoc Fellowships
Society in Science – The Branco Weiss Fellowship is a unique postdoc program. It provides young researchers around the world with a generous personal research grant, giving them the freedom to work on whatever topic they choose anywhere in the world, for a maximum duration of five years.
This research fellowship is designed to support postdoctoral researchers after their PhD and before their first faculty appointment. Those in current postdoctoral positions are also eligible. Ideally fellows pursue unconventional projects in new areas of science, engineering and social science fields involving societal aspects.
The Society in Science fellowship program was initiated and financed by the Swiss entrepreneur Dr. Branco Weiss, who passed away in October 2010. The program is coordinated by the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich (ETH).
