Description
Administered by Fulbright Israel through the Fulbright Scholar Program, this fellowship supports postdoctoral research at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev in Be'er Sheva, Israel. Projects are welcomed across all academic disciplines, including engineering, health and natural sciences, humanities and social sciences, business, medicine, and desert studies. Scholars may conduct research of their own choosing or a project designated by the host institution.
The fellowship combines academic research with Fulbright’s mission of strengthening relationships between people in the United States and other nations. Scholars may be asked to give public talks, mentor students, and engage with the host community alongside their research. Applicants independently arrange their university affiliation and develop the research program for their proposed visit.
