SNSF Ambizione

SNSF Ambizione

The Ambizione grants are aimed at young researchers who wish to conduct, manage and lead an independent project at a Swiss higher education institution. The scheme supports young researchers both from Switzerland and abroad. Scientists holding non-professorial academic positions at higher education institutions are also eligible to submit an application. An Ambizione grant covers the grantee’s salary and the funds needed to carry out the project. An Ambizione project grant, however, comprises only project funds.

Requirements:

  • Applications may be submitted no later than four years after completing the doctorate (PhD). The date of the examination, respectively the defence of the doctoral thesis is the relevant date.
  • Research activities of at least 12 months after the doctorate (PhD), respectively after the medical licence undertaken at an institution different from the one(s) where the doctorate ?or the medical degree was conducted.
