ISSI invites researchers of all career stages to submit a research proposal to spend time at ISSI as a Visiting Scientist. Applications are reviewed by the ISSI directorate on a quarterly basis, with submission deadlines on March 1, June 1, September 1 and December 1. Applicants will be notified of the outcome of the selection a few weeks after the deadline.
The application is open to all scientists, regardless of nationality or institutional affiliation, who are actively involved in any of the following research fields:
Visiting scientists typically spend between a week to two months maximum at ISSI to conduct research related to data from space missions in cooperation with ISSI staff and/or in synergy with ongoing ISSI activities. Collaborations with research institutes in Switzerland are welcome. Early career scientists are also encouraged to apply, but should include a support statement from their advisor in their application.
ISSI supports visiting scientists with office space and funding to cover living costs (per diem & accommodation) while in Bern.
ISSI is an equal opportunities employer. We are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees and visitors.
The number of visitors ISSI can accommodate at any given time is limited. We therefore encourage applicants to apply well in advance if they have calendar constraints.
Enquiries concerning the ISSI Visiting Scientist programme or the application form should be directed to the ISSI Science Program Manager, Dr. Mark Sargent, at mark.sargent@issibern.ch.
