About the Organization
Based on a government mandate, the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) supports scientific research in all academic disciplines – from physics to medicine to sociology. At the end of 2022, the SNSF was funding 5500 projects involving more than 20,000 researchers. This makes us the leading Swiss organisation for the promotion of scientific research.
To ensure its independence, the SNSF was established in 1952 as a private foundation. Its core task is the evaluation of research proposals. In 2022, it awarded 910 million francs to the most promising project proposals under its regular funding schemes. We allocated a further 173 million for the Horizon Europe transitional measures. By awarding public research money based on the principle of competition, the SNSF contributes to the high quality of research in Switzerland.
About the Fellowship
Switzerland is considered a non-associated third country in the 2023 calls for projects in Horizon Europe (work programme 2023-2024) and related programmes and initiatives. This year, on behalf of the Swiss Confederation, the SNSF is launching a new call under the transitional measure SNSF Swiss Postdoctoral Fellowships for people of all nationalities who were aiming to apply for a Marie Sk?odowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellowship (MSCA PF).
The grant includes the postdoctoral fellow’s salary with social security contributions, financial contributions to research, and conference costs.

The scheme is open to all research disciplines and topics.
This funding scheme will offer applicants with a PhD and no more than eight years of postdoctoral experience a position at a non-commercial research institution in Switzerland for 12-24 months.
