Request a Grant Writer

Fellowships to USA, Canada, and International scholars and scientists in all fields of study to work as faculty at an Israeli IHE. Fellowships will offer top researchers the chance to be employed during the 2020/21 academic year and will enable the universities to offer them their first full-time academic appointments as Lecturers, Senior Lecturers, Associate Professors, or other equivalent ranks. Funding is intended to cover salary and research-related expenses over a three-year period.

Applications must be submitted by one of the following academic institutions:

Bar-Ilan University
Ben-Gurion University
The Hebrew University of Jerusalem
Technion-Israel Institute of Technology
Tel Aviv University
University of Haifa
Weizmann Institute of Science

In addition to salary, the Azrieli Faculty Fellow will receive a research grant. The research grant may be used for equipment and general research needs. The Azrieli research grant is not meant to replace start-up funds which are provided by the university for newly-appointed faculty positions. The university is expected to provide all the necessary conditions for carrying out research.
