The Quantum Center Research Fellowship supports innovative and original scientific research that fits well into the context of the host group while fostering the independence of the fellow.
The Quantum Center is committed to increasing diversity in quantum science, and candidates from under-represented groups are especially encouraged to apply. Furthermore, applications in member groups of young PIs and PIs with small group sizes are equally encouraged.
The fellowships are endowed by the “Dr. Alfred and Flora Spälti Fonds“.
The next application deadline is February 20, 2024. More information about the program can be found here. |
