About The Branco Weiss Fellowship – Society In Science
Offering Unique Postdoc Fellowships

The Branco Weiss Fellowship – Society in Science is a community of exceptional young scientists who share a passion for taking research beyond the mainstream. Fellows are given the means to pursue their personal vision of a particular scientific project independently – in the best possible locations, anywhere in the world. The fellowship is awarded to postdocs for up to five years, which is one of the reasons it attracts a high proportion of female applicants. Since it continues after a promotion, some fellows even become faculty members during the course of their fellowship. Besides a passion for the research itself, what Branco Weiss Fellows and Alumni also have in common is a flair for communicating beyond their own field of study and with society at large.

The fellowship program was initiated and financed by the Swiss entrepreneur Dr. Branco Weiss, who passed away in October 2010. It is based at ETH Zurich.

The fellowship is designed to support postdoctoral researchers after their PhD and before their first faculty appointment. The aim is to award up to ten fellowships each year. Researchers who pursue unconventional projects outside the mainstream of science, engineering, and social sciences may apply. Those in current postdoctoral positions are also eligible.

Applications for the 2021 fellowship intake are now open until January 15, 2021, 11.59 p.m. (CET). Read more about applying for the fellowship here.
