In addition to the MARVEL INSPIRE Potentials Master’s fellowships, aimed to empower excellent female students to conduct their Master's research project in simulation and modelling in a laboratory belonging to the NCCR MARVEL, our consortium proposed in 2024 and 2025 a new fellowship for visiting PhD students and junior postdocs from underrepresented groups (by gender, ethnicity, or any other status), with a special focus on women, and on researchers from sub-Saharan countries.
These MARVEL INSPIRE visiting PhD fellowships aim at promoting international collaborations, while supporting young researchers from underrepresented groups (by gender, ethnicity, or any other status), with a special focus on women, and on researchers from sub-Saharan countries, in their career steps, developing their scientific network and increasing their self-confidence. They support PhD students and junior postdocs from outside the NCCR for a stay of 3 to 6 months in a MARVEL computational lab.
The selected applicants get a fellowship covering the difference between the net monthly salary received in their home institution and CHF 2’500 per month, + travel expenses and separate coverage of medical insurance (for non EU participants).
