MX Master Fellowship Program
Are you a driven Master’s student passionate about Materials Science?
We invite applications for 6-month funded fellowships offering hands-on research experience in a one of the cutting-edge research labs at EPFL’s Institute of Materials (IMX).
The MX Master Fellowship Program is an initiative by the Institute of Materials science that offers fellowships to support your stay at EPFL for up to six months, to conduct your Master research thesis at one of the the labs affiliated with the Institute of Materials. Each fellowship amounts to 1’600 CHF per month to cover accomodation and living costs in Switzerland, as well as a travel allowance of up to 1’200 CHF, and is provided directly by the hosting lab. Beyond the monthly stipend, you will benefit from supervision by leading experts in the field, access to state-of-the-art research facilities, and networking opportunities within a vibrant research community.
Starting and ending dates are flexible to match your academic calendar and the availability of the host professors.
The Master projects are generally six months long and should be part of the student’s home university-accredited projects (a letter from the home university must be provided).
Applications from under-represented groups are encouraged.
The next deadline is November 1, 2025.
The application portal for 2026 will open early October 6, 2025.
