[ EPFL-Stanford Exchange Program funded by Firmenich | Fellowship funding ]

EPFL and Stanford University seek applicants for short-term (approximately 3 months in duration with a minimum of 10 weeks) research exchanges between these two prestigious universities. PhD students, postdocs and faculty are all eligible to apply. The program seeks to foster meaningful long-term collaborations between researchers at Stanford University and EPFL in a variety of life science fields, with a particular emphasis on chemical biology and neuroscience. To facilitate the program, EPFL has partnered with two of Stanford new interdisciplinary bioscience institutes: Stanford ChEM-H (Chemistry, Engineering & Medicine for Human Health) and the Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute. Stanford ChEM-H brings together chemists, engineers, biologist and clinicians to foster interdisciplinary research that deeply probes the molecules of life and explores practical solutions to the most complex issues in human health by exploiting the interactions of these molecules. The Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute aims to understand how the brain gives rise to mental life and behavior, both in health and in disease. Together, these two institutes provide complementary expertise and cross-institute opportunities for innovation and collaboration.
 
This exchange program is generously funded by Firmenich, the world’s largest privately-owned company in the fragrance and flavor business. Founded in Geneva, Switzerland, in 1895, Firmenich has created many of the world’s best-known perfumes and flavors. The company is renowned for its world-class research and creativity, as well as its thought leadership in sustainability.
