Applications for <strong>high-risk</strong> projects are particularly encouraged. The projects should be <strong>interdisciplinary</strong> in nature and should challenge existing paradigms by using novel approaches and techniques. Scientifically, they should address an important problem or a barrier to progress in the field.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nHFSP postdoctoral fellowships encourage early career scientists to broaden their research skills by moving into new areas of study while working in a new country.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nTwo different fellowships are available:<br>\r\n \r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li><strong>Long-Term Fellowships (LTF) </strong>are for applicants with a PhD on a biological topic who want to embark on a novel and frontier project focusing on the life sciences.</li>\r\n\t<li><strong>Cross-Disciplinary Fellowships (CDF)</strong> are for applicants who hold a doctoral degree from a non-biological discipline (e.g. physics, chemistry, mathematics, engineering or computer sciences) and who have not worked in the life sciences before.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>Funding</strong>:       Living allowance according to host country (see <a href=\"https://www.hfsp.org/sites/default/files/Sciences/fellows/2027/HFSP%20Fellowships%202027%20-%20Application%20Guidelines.pdf\">Guidelines</a>), as well as a research and travel allowance.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>Duration</strong>:      36 months<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>Eligibility:</strong> A summary of eligibility criteria is given below.

They also learn the leadership qualities and management tools required to lead multi-disciplinary projects in Biotech, Medtech and Pharma ventures.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nThis Certificate of Advanced Studies (CAS) runs every year, from January to June at the EPFL Campus in Lausanne.\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li>7 modules</li>\r\n\t<li>Flexible format</li>\r\n\t<li>Part-time</li>\r\n</ul>","image_description":"","creation_date":"2026-03-30T09:35:11","last_modification_date":"2026-03-30T10:12:11","link_label":"Webpage","link_url":"http://go.epfl.ch/mls","canceled":"False","cancel_reason":"","place_and_room":"ODY -1 0021","url_place_and_room":"https://plan.epfl.ch/?room==ODY%20-1%200021","url_online_room":"","spoken_languages":["https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/spoken_languages/2/?format=json"],"speaker":"","organizer":"<a href=\"http://executive.epfl.ch\">EPFL Executive Education</a>","contact":"casbiotech@epfl.ch","is_internal":"False","theme":"","vulgarization":{"id":1,"fr_label":"Tout public","en_label":"General public"},"registration":{"id":1,"fr_label":"Sur inscription","en_label":"Registration required"},"keywords":"Life Sciences","file":null,"icalendar_url":"https://memento.epfl.ch/event/export/120219/","category":{"id":4,"code":"DIVERS","fr_label":"Autres types d’événement","en_label":"Miscellaneous","activated":true},"academic_calendar_category":null,"domains":[],"mementos":["https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/3/?format=json","https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/437/?format=json"]},{"id":70058,"title":"BMI Distinguished Seminar // Mitra Hartmann: Touching the world and the wind: sensorimotor control and flow sensing with whiskers","slug":"bmi-distinguished-seminar-mitra-hartmann-touching","event_url":"https://memento.epfl.ch/event/bmi-distinguished-seminar-mitra-hartmann-touching","visual_url":"https://memento.epfl.ch/image/31521/200x112.jpg","visual_large_url":"https://memento.epfl.ch/image/31521/720x405.jpg","visual_maxsize_url":"https://memento.epfl.ch/image/31521/max-size.jpg","lang":"en","start_date":"2026-05-06","end_date":"2026-05-06","start_time":"12:15:00","end_time":"13:15:00","description":"<p>In rodents, the whisker (vibrissal) system supports behaviors ranging from locomotor guidance and object exploration to social interactions and anemotaxis (flow sensing). This versatility makes whisker-dependent behavior a powerful lens on sensorimotor control. The first part of the talk describes use of the whisker system to study embodied sensing and closed-loop sensorimotor control. On the sensory side, I will present models of whisker mechanics and signal encoding by primary sensory neurons. On the motor side, I will describe models of whisker musculature and emerging insights into the circuits that generate whisker movements. I will then outline key challenges in linking sensing to movement within an integrated closed-loop framework. The second part of the talk will highlight how whiskers interact with moving air. Bending and vibration encode direction and speed, including regimes where vibrations emerge at subcritical Reynolds numbers through coupled structural nonlinearities and fluid-structure interactions.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<br>\r\n </p>","image_description":"","creation_date":"2025-10-08T12:14:17","last_modification_date":"2026-03-02T13:22:44","link_label":"Web Page","link_url":"https://www.mccormick.northwestern.edu/research-faculty/directory/profiles/hartmann-mitra.html","canceled":"False","cancel_reason":"","place_and_room":"SV 1717","url_place_and_room":"https://plan.epfl.ch/?room==SV%201717","url_online_room":"https://epfl.zoom.us/j/64813563657","spoken_languages":["https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/spoken_languages/2/?format=json"],"speaker":"Mitra Hartmann, Northwestern University, US","organizer":"BMI Host: Pavan Ramdya","contact":"brain_mind@epfl.ch","is_internal":"False","theme":"","vulgarization":{"id":1,"fr_label":"Tout public","en_label":"General public"},"registration":{"id":3,"fr_label":"Entrée libre","en_label":"Free"},"keywords":"","file":null,"icalendar_url":"https://memento.epfl.ch/event/export/118047/","category":{"id":1,"code":"CONF","fr_label":"Conférences - Séminaires","en_label":"Conferences - Seminars","activated":true},"academic_calendar_category":null,"domains":[],"mementos":["https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/1/?format=json","https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/19/?format=json","https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/9/?format=json","https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/88/?format=json","https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/6/?format=json"]},{"id":70651,"title":"Talent Pitch Switzerland 2026","slug":"talent-pitch-switzerland-2026","event_url":"https://memento.epfl.ch/event/talent-pitch-switzerland-2026","visual_url":"https://memento.epfl.ch/image/32077/200x112.jpg","visual_large_url":"https://memento.epfl.ch/image/32077/720x405.jpg","visual_maxsize_url":"https://memento.epfl.ch/image/32077/max-size.jpg","lang":"en","start_date":"2026-05-06","end_date":"2026-05-06","start_time":"18:00:00","end_time":"22:30:00","description":"<p>Talent Pitch is a pitching contest that will take place for the fourth time on May 6, 2026, at the Volkshaus in Zurich.
