Cyber-Defence Fellowships: A Talent Program for Cyber-Defence Research

Cyber-Defence Fellowships are designed to promote new solutions to major challenges in the fields of security and data science by bringing together basic and applied research in cyber-defence.

Cyber-threats have been accelerating due to the exponential growth of network connectivity. These new capabilities provide myriad opportunities for security hackers to wreak significant damage for commercial, political, or other gains.

To promote research and education in cyber-defence, EPFL and the Cyber-Defence (CYD) Campus have jointly launched the “CYD Fellowships – A Talent Program for Cyber-Defence Research.” The 5th call for applications is now open with a rolling call for Master Thesis Fellowship applications, and with a deadline of 14 February 2022 (17:00 CEST) for Doctoral and Distinguished Postdoctoral Fellowship applications. Both new applications and re-submissions are strongly encouraged. The related Applicant Workshop will be held online on 25 January 2022 from 10:00 to 10:45 (CEST).

The CYD fellows are hosted by a higher education institution in Switzerland and conduct their research at the CYD Campus located on the premises of EPFL and ETHZ and in its office in Thun. The CYD Fellowships are supported by armasuisse Science and Technology.
