Your careful preparation and your targeted approach once you have completed your enquiries will raise your chances of attracting a professor\u2019s interest and possibly of receiving a positive answer. The following information may be useful before you decide how to approach a potential academic supervisor.<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Who can help me to find an academic supervisor?<\/span><\/p>\n<p>As an applicant you are responsible for finding a suitable research supervisor (professor). Neither the secretariat of the Federal Commission for Scholarships nor the international office at the universities can help you find an academic supervisor for your application for a Swiss Government Excellence Scholarship. We recommend you look for a suitable research supervisor by reading up on university websites and talking to any contacts you may have at your own academic institution.<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">What should I do before contacting a professor?<\/span><\/p>\n<p>a) Make sure that the prospective academic supervisor actually works in your field. b) Make sure that you possess all of the qualifications required for the intended scientific collaboration. Find out, for instance, what requirements must be met in order to obtain a master\u2019s degree at the university in question. Finding a professor who is willing to supervise you can be a major challenge. It can take several weeks or even months.<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">How should I go about contacting a professor?<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Be well prepared and focused. Make direct contact with a professor and declare your interest in collaborating in a specific research project. Tell the professor what you have studied so far and that you are applying for a Swiss Government Excellence Scholarship. All enquiries should be accompanied by the following documents, as a minimum: short CV, letter of motivation, 2-3 convincing letters of reference, research plan (2-3 A4 pages), all in correct English.<br \/>\n&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">FAQs for academic supervisors<\/span><br \/>\nYou are a professor at a Swiss academic institution. Foreign students and postgraduate researchers contact you to ask if you will act as their academic mentor or supervisor and host professor. The following information may be useful to you in deciding how to deal with such a request.<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Why do FCS scholarship applicant contact professors in Switzerland?<\/span><br \/>\nSwiss Government Excellence Scholarships are intended as Switzerland\u2019s contribution to preparing the next generation of professors and researchers in the country of origin. This is particularly crucial and important for doctoral students from developing countries or in countries that lack a strong tradition of PhD studies. Personal relations are an essential element in providing access to Switzerland\u2019s academic institutions and networks. Each application for a Swiss Government Excellence Scholarship must therefore be backed by a professor who has agreed to supervise the research, integrate the scholarship holder into their team and provide good research conditions.<br \/>\nWhat does supporting an FCS scholarship applicant involve?<br \/>\nThe decision to act as academic supervisor or not is entirely up to you, of course. If you decide to do so, please bear in mind that giving your support is a commitment. In other words, if you choose to support a candidate, it means that you are familiar with his\/her research project, you have discussed it with the applicant, and the research project relates to the research that you conduct in your department or laboratory. It is also important to realise that your support is not just a personal commitment: indirectly, it reflects on the research carried out by your institution, which places a double burden of responsibility on your shoulders.<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">How do I provide support to an FCS scholarship applicant?<\/span><br \/>\nPlease send a letter describing in sufficient detail the research proposal, your relation to the candidate and possible future collaboration, and enclose your short CV. This confirmation of support should be written on paper with an official letterhead showing your institution\u2019s official contact details.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Should I support more than one candidate?<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Do not assume that you will increase the chances of success by supporting several applicants: the FCS has a clear preference for solid support to individual applicants as opposed to noncommittal support for multiple applicants.<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">What is the role of the academic supervisor?<\/span><br \/>\nIf you agree to act as an academic supervisor, you agree to supervise the scholarship holder during their whole research stay (12 months for research fellows and post-docs or 36 months for PhD scholarship holders). You agree to integrate the scholarship holder into your team and provide good research conditions (lab space and access to infrastructure, library etc.). PhD thesis supervisors should do their utmost to ensure that adequate funding is available after the scholarship so that the thesis can be completed within a reasonable timeframe (1 or 2 additional years maximum).<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>La Conf\u00e9d\u00e9ration suisse offre chaque ann\u00e9e des bourses d\u2019excellence dans le domaine de la recherche et des arts.
