About this position
Ambizione is a funding scheme from the Swiss National Science Foundation for young researchers who want to develop an independent project at a Swiss higher education institution.
The opportunity is designed to support researchers at an early stage after the PhD as they build independence, take responsibility for a project, and gain experience in research leadership within the Swiss academic environment.
The scheme is framed as a regular fellowship or scholarship-style call rather than a single fixed project advert, and it is open across disciplines.
