Medical Research Positions
General Information
The Prof. Dr. Max Cloëtta Foundation finances medical research positions at Swiss universities, clinics and institutes. The Cloëtta positions for medical research are intended for fully trained and independently working researchers, especially if they are suitable for positions to be created later or that become vacant. By creating long-term research positions, the Prof. Dr. Max Cloëtta Foundation aims to promote the career of young researchers in Switzerland. Candidates should not be older than 40 years.
The Foundation finances the salary of the beneficiaries, which shall correspond to the level of a local assistant professorship or equivalent position. The Foundation determines the level of the salary in consultation with the university research institution at which the beneficiaries are employed. The Foundation may set a maximum salary. The funding of further project costs is excluded.
