The École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), one of the two federally funded Institutes of Technologies in Switzerland, is at the cutting edge of science and technology. (http://www.epfl.ch). Many global comparisons place EPFL among the top European universities. In the 2014-2015 QS ranking, EPFL is placed in the overall top 20 universities and in the top 10 in the field of Engineering and Technology. The Times Higher Education World University Rankings 2014-2015 places EPFL 12th worldwide in the category Engineering and Technology, number one in the ranking of the most international universities and number one in the ranking of the top 100 universities under 50 years old. EPFL provides a very open and welcoming environment both for staff and students. With 125 nationalities on campus and over 50% of professors from abroad, the School is one of the world s most cosmopolitan university campuses. EPFL is renowned for its quality of teaching, research and training-through research. It offers young researchers several mobility programmes to encourage them to start and develop a research career, and to enhance knowledge transfer between their native countries and EPFL scientists. EPFL has five Schools and two Colleges Architecture, Civil and Environmental Engineering Basic Sciences Computer and Communication Sciences Engineering Life Sciences College of Management of Technology College of Humanities
Deepen your research experience at EPFL EPFL s international postdoctoral fellowship program aims to attract experienced researchers of any nationality to the EPFL, to provide them with state-of-the-art conditions for research, to develop their leadership potential and to position them for success as future research leaders, through a research-intensive training. EPFL Fellows has received funding from the European Union s Horizon 2020 Framework Programme for Research and Innovation. These fellowships may be held in any scientific discipline within the EPFL and run for a period of 24 months. Applications should be made jointly with the Fellow s mentor, a senior scientist at EPFL. EPFL Fellows conduct their own research in the framework of the proposed project. Conditions of participation Participation is open for candidates of any nationality The applicants must hold a doctoral degree The applicant must fulfil the incoming or re-integration criteria (Eligibility criteria: http://researchoffice.epfl.ch/epflfellowsmariecurie/ EligibilityCriteria) Selection procedure The selection procedure is based on an international peer review process. Successful candidates are offered a 24-month fellowship. Applications are welcome annually from July 1 st ; the closing date for applications is October 1 st. All applications have to be submitted via the web platform http://research-office.epfl.ch/ EPFLFellowsMarieCurie.
