Postdoctoral Fellowships in Russian and East European Studies

The Israeli Inter-University Academic Partnership in Russian and East European Studies is offering a small number of highly competitive postdoctoral and doctoral fellowships in the field of Russian and East European Studies for the 2016-2017 academic year. These fellowships are offered to researchers across a variety of disciplines in the fields of Humanities and Social Sciences, broadly defined, and will be awarded on the basis of academic excellence.

Postdoctoral fellowships are offered to young scholars who have received their PhD degree no earlier than 2011 and no later than December 2015 [Applicants must have their dissertation approved before they apply for the fellowship]. The postdoctoral fellowships are open to both Israel and foreign researchers in all fields that are relevant to this geographical area.  

Postdoctoral fellows will be awarded up to 87,500 NIS per year. These grantees will be required to present two public lectures at their host institution during the fellowship year and participate in the partnership’s main activities and events during the year. The  fellowships will entail a teaching commitment at the host university.

The fellows will be selected by an international academic committee and then placed in one of the partner universities.
