Fulbright Israel welcomes applications from innovative U.S. postdoctoral scholars who seek to conduct research in one of Israel's accredited academic institutions of higher education. Grants are open to researchers in all academic disciplines and support programs of research in Israel for up to 20 months. Each candidate is responsible for the arrangement of the institutional affiliations in Israel independently, including development of the research program for the proposed visit, through contacts with possible host institutions. Based on Fulbright Israel policy, selected Fulbright postdoctoral fellows must hold official postdoctoral fellow status at their host institutions in Israel, including access to campus resources. Early Career Academics with a PhD or other terminal degree may be awarded. To be eligible for a Fulbright fellowship beginning in July 2025, candidates must have received their PhD degrees no earlier than July 2020. Degree conferment before the start of the award is mandatory. Institutional affiliation in the U.S. is not required. A letter of invitation from an accredited Israeli institution of higher education is required. Please contact the Fulbright program in Israel for assistance with identifying suitable host institutions or institutional contacts. Two letters of recommendation are also required. Please visit the award's website or contact the Council for International Exchange of Scholars for more information.
