Fulbright Postdoctoral Fellowships

Up to two years - $47,500 per academic year.

The grants, which will commence during the 2020/21 academic year, are open to researchers in all academic disciplines and support programs of work in Israel for up to 20 months (two academic years 2020/2021 and 2021/2022). For more information and applications - click here!

Applicants may seek additional funding from the host institution (proof of such funding is not required at the time of application).

The host institution must provide grantees with Postdoctoral status including access to campus resources (proof of such letter is not required at the time of application).

Each candidate is responsible for arranging their institutional affiliations in Israel independently, including development of the program of work for the proposed visit through contacts with possible host institutions.

Please contact Noa Turgeman at USIEF (NoaT@fulbright.org.il) with any questions for assistance with identifying suitable host institutions or contacts. If you anticipate delays in obtaining the letter of invitation by the September 16 deadline, please contact CIES (middleeastnorthafrica@iie.org) and Noa Turgeman (NoaT@fulbright.org.il).
