SNSF Starting Grant: Call to identify and support selected candidates (closed)

The Department of Evolutionary Biology and Environmental Studies (DEBES) at the Faculty of Science, University of Zurich, is pleased to support candidates seeking grants to lead an independent research project and team, equivalent to the level of an assistant professorship. 

DEBES recognizes the value of such grants for early-career researchers and the significant role the department can play in providing support during both the grant-writing process and as a hosting institution. We aim to identify and assist selected candidates early in the grant preparation stage. 
 
Applicants should have an outstanding track record, a desire to develop an independent research group within the department, and research interests that promote both inter- and intra-departmental collaborations. DEBES is particularly interested in candidates whose proposed research aligns with the department’s identified research focus, and yet complements it. 

Furthermore, DEBES strongly encourages applicants who would contribute to the diversity of the professorial staff in the Department to apply.
