The fellowship aims to attract internationally renowned scientists to make a significant contribution to the ISSI mission by pursuing ambitious independent research, in any of the disciplines that are part of ISSI’s core mission: Astrophysics, Heliophysics, Planetary Sciences and Earth Science.
The Johannes Geiss Fellow is expected to participate in ISSI activities and to collaborate with ISSI’s scientific staff and visitors, as well as with research institutes in Switzerland. The Johannes Geiss Fellow is invited to give public lectures in close collaboration with the Pro ISSI Association.
The JGF provides a stipend covering travel costs, an apartment for the duration of the stay and living expenses for a stay at ISSI Bern of up to 6 months. ISSI can host JGFs either for a single extended visit (e.g., during a sabbatical) or for several shorter duration visits.
The application (to be submitted as a single pdf-file) should comprise a cover letter (max. 2 pages), a brief outline of the research planned while at ISSI and possible collaborations with Swiss and/or other institutions (max. 3 pages), a curriculum vitae (max. 5 pages), a list of the 10 most relevant publications, and a declaration of availability for outreach activities.
All applications must be received by ISSI no later than October 18, 2024, through the online submission form below.
The earliest possible starting date for the JGF is January 2025.
