SNSF Eccellenza Professorial Fellowship
Funds SNSF Eccellenza Professorial Fellowships providing salary and research support for new independent research leaders in Switzerland.
SNSF Eccellenza Professorial Fellowship is a Swiss career-stage research award run by the Swiss National Science Foundation to support excellent junior researchers establishing independent groups. The scheme is tenure-track-oriented and provides salary support plus project funding over an annual cycle. Award levels in this profile range from 1.12 million to 2.464 million in Swiss francs, and the pathway is structured around institutional anchoring in Switzerland rather than company-led commercialization routes. Applicants are expected to demonstrate an independent research direction and a clear transition from prior work to group leadership. The strongest alignment is for individual researchers with strong publication and project records who can secure host institutional support. It is a career-building mechanism for building an independent group in the Swiss research system, not a startup financing instrument.
