Fulbright Israel welcomes applications from innovative US postdoctoral scholars who seek to conduct research at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev. Grants are open to researchers in all academic disciplines and support research programs in Israel for up to 20 months (two academic years).

Applicants must be early career academics. PhD (other terminal degree) is required. To be eligible for a Fulbright fellowship beginning in July 2027, candidates must have received their PhD degrees no earlier than July 2022. Degree conferment before the start of the award is mandatory. Institutional affiliation in the US is not required. A letter of invitation from a host at Ben-Gurion University is required.
