Postdoctoral fellowships for AI research at EPFL in Switzerland, open to all nationalities. The fellowship co-funds your salary with a host laboratory for up to two years. Deadline: 9 November 2026.
The EPFL AI Center and Swiss AI Initiative Postdoctoral Fellowships 2026 are in their 3rd call. They support postdoctoral researchers who want to work on artificial intelligence at EPFL in Switzerland, with fields that include computer science, engineering, mathematics and the natural sciences.
Who can apply
The call is open to applicants of all nationalities at postdoctoral level. All application documents must be submitted in English.
What it offers
The fellowship lasts up to two years. It contributes about 50% of your salary each year on EPFL salary scales, and your EPFL host laboratory pays the rest, so this is a co-funded position rather than a fully funded award. On top of the salary, up to CHF 5’000 per fellowship year can be granted for research costs, open research data, open access publishing, travel and conferences.
Deadline
Applications must be submitted by 9 November 2026 at 17:00 (CET).
Before you apply
Because a host laboratory has to cover part of your salary, talk early to EPFL faculty whose work matches yours and agree on where you would be hosted. Prepare every document in English and read the call guidelines on the official page before submitting.
