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:
- novel technologies for protecting the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of cyber and cyber-physical systems
- privacy-enhancing technologies
- data science and artificial intelligence methods for analysing cyber- and technology-relevant data
- research on vulnerabilities and backdoors in digital systems
What: Funding is available for:
- 6-month CYD Master Thesis Fellowships (living allowance and research and conference funds)
- 4-year (with a possible one-year extension) CYD Doctoral Fellowships (salary and research and conference funds)
- (up to) 3-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.
Who: Citizens of any nationality can apply
Enrolment in a Master program at a Swiss higher education institution (CYD Master Thesis Fellowships), acceptance into a doctoral program at a Swiss higher education institution (CYD Doctoral Fellowships)
Endorsement of a professor at a Swiss higher education institution and of a CYD Campus researcher
