Description
Administered by Fulbright Israel through the Fulbright Scholar Program, this fellowship supports postdoctoral research at the Steinhardt Museum of Natural History at Tel Aviv University. It seeks innovative U.S. scholars conducting multidisciplinary biodiversity research, including systematics, ecology, paleoecology, biogeography, conservation sciences, and citizen science. Fellows may pursue their own research or a project designated by the host institution.
The museum is Israel’s National Center for Biodiversity Studies, combining scientific collections, research, and public engagement to deepen understanding of nature. The fellowship also advances Fulbright’s mission of strengthening relationships between people in the United States and other nations. Alongside research, fellows may be asked to give public talks, mentor students, and engage with their host community.
