The Israel Institute awards post-doctoral fellowships to highly qualified candidates in order to foster the growth of the next generation of elite Israel Studies faculty. The fellowships are for up to two years at universities in the United States, Europe and Israel, and include a stipend of $48,000 per year with an annual $3,000 research and travel budget. Post-Doctoral Fellows are expected to teach one class each semester and to work on revising their dissertations into books. The Israel Institute accepts applications from candidates who have already secured an unfunded post-doctoral position and who require funding, as well as from candidates who are looking for post-doctoral appointments and have not yet secured one. In the case of the latter, the Institute will work to match successful applicants with top universities and can facilitate new post-doctoral positions. In all cases, the Institute’s strong preference is for post-doctoral fellows to do their fellowship in a different country than the one in which they completed their Ph.D. The post-doctoral fellowship is open to candidates who have earned Ph.Ds within the last four years, and advanced knowledge of Israel along with Hebrew competency is required. Fellowship proposals can be centered in the social sciences, humanities, law, or art and cultural studies.

The application deadline is February 15, 2014.
