Synapsis Foundation - Alzheimer Research Switzerland ARS announces a Career Development Award competition.

This mechanism supports advanced postdoctoral researchers at Swiss Universities and Research Institutions. The goal of this award is to accelerate the transition to a faculty position in Switzerland or EMBO member countries.

A Synapsis Foundation Career Award consists of 2 phases. Phase 1 is carried out as a postdoctoral fellow in a host laboratory for a period of up to 2 years. Phase 2 supports the researcher in an independent faculty position. Funding for phase 1 and 2 is CHF 100’000 per year for a period of up to 4 years. Institutions may not charge indirect or overhead costs on these awards. For more information about phase 1 and phase 2, please see second page of this Call.
