The Department of Infectious Diseases at the University Hospital Zurich (USZ) and University of Zurich (UZH), Switzerland, is searching for pioneers in the field of Virology and/or Host-Pathogen Interactions. The aim is to specifically support an early-career scientist who is transitioning to running their own laboratory or already leads one, demonstrating professional expertise and a spirit of innovation. The selected individual will receive assistance in preparing grant applications for institutions such as the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF), the European Research Council (ERC), or the Cloetta Foundation. If successful, an invitation to negotiate for a five-year non-tenure-track Assistant Professorship at the Department of Infectious Diseases awaits.
