PhD Fellowships from Technology Companies
A number of technology companies regularly advertise so-called "PhD Fellowships" in the field of computer science, artificial intelligence and machine learning.
Doctoral students at ETH Zurich may apply for these fellowships. These fellowships include, among other things, a scholarship which serves to finance the doctorate.

Application: Need for coordination
Some of the fellowship programmes limit the number of applications that can be submitted by ETH Zurich, which requires coordination of the applications.
This coordination is currently carried out by the D-INFK. The contact person for coordination is Professor Dennis Komm.
Candidates for the PhD Fellowships listed above, or their supervisors, are kindly requested to contact the contact person for coordination at the earliest opportunity.
Funding of Fellows
Doctoral students with PhD Fellowships are subject to the usual conditions of employment for doctoral students at ETH Zurich (cf. Ordinance governing scientific employees of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich, Directives for Doctoral Students Employed at ETH Zurich). This refers in particular to regulations concerning salary and length of employment.
