A postdoc at Empa – springboard into a successful academic career.

Until very recently Empa has run an international two-year postdoctoral fellowship program, «Empa Postdocs», funded under the European Union’s 7th Framework Program. It allowed researchers from all over the world to sketch out a research project and work on it in one of our 29 research labs. The last call was in early 2015. At the moment, it is unclear whether or not there will be a follow-up, depending on the funding situation. Should the program be continued you will find more detailed information here on this site; please visit us sporadically to find out more. You can find out all about our current vacancies here.
