Description
Fulbright Israel administers these research fellowships for U.S. postdoctoral scholars seeking to work in Israel. The collection includes an all-disciplines opportunity at accredited Israeli institutions of higher education and separate opportunities at seven named host institutions. Applicants arrange their own affiliations and develop their research programs with prospective hosts.
The program combines research with academic and cultural exchange, aiming to strengthen relationships between the United States and Israel and promote international understanding and cooperation. Fellows are asked to give public talks, mentor students, and engage with their host communities alongside their research. Academic excellence is the primary selection criterion, with leadership and broader cultural goals also considered.
