This is interesting. I was looking for that statistics. When I was finishing my application, one Swiss university refused to discuss
it with me because they already tagged their internal people for these positions. I am not kidding. After this, I kind of expected
that this new vehicle will be used to fund people that were running out of money on long-term assistant positions in Switzerland.
However, I looked at the site above and I did not find statistics on where the people worked before and how much international
experience they had.
Did I miss something? I send an e-mail to SNF to ask for exactly that information. Let's see what they say.
On another point, the fact that only 3 out of 26 "Foerderungsprofessoren" are less than 35 years old is kind of scary to me, too. At
least in Computer Science I'd expect you to be on tenure or years into tenure track when you are 37. Why would you consider a 4
years limited Foerderungsprofessur anyway at 37? But maybe I am off here.
