Fourth Call for Applications
To promote research and education in cyber-defence, EPFL, the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne, and the Cyber-Defence (CYD) Campus have jointly launched the “CYD Fellowships – A Talent Program for Cyber-Defence Research.”
CYD Fellowships are designed to promote new solutions to major challenges in the fields of security and data science by bringing together basic and applied research. They are open to researchers at master, doctoral, or postdoctoral level who are willing to engage with cross-cutting issues in cyber-defence, with a particular emphasis on:
The CYD Fellowships are supported by armasuisse Science and Technology.
What:
6-month CYD Master Thesis Fellowships (living allowance and research funds)
4-year (with a possible one-year extension) CYD Doctoral Fellowships (salary and research and conference funds)
(up to) 2-year CYD Distinguished Postdoctoral Fellowships (salary and research and conference funds)
Where:
CYD fellows are hosted by a higher education institution in Switzerland and conduct their research at the CYD Campus located on the premises of EPFL and ETHZ and in its office in Thun. The CYD Campus is a cyber-competence center acting as an anticipation platform for identifying and assessing technologies, commercial and social cyber trends, as well as the resulting usage scenarios.
Eligibility:
When to start: Within 6 months of the notice of the award
How to apply: Online submission platform
Deadline:
Rolling call open for Master Thesis Fellowship applications.
Deadline for Doctoral and Distinguished Postdoctoral Fellowship submissions: 16 August 2021 (17:00 CEST)
