Polonsky Postdoctoral Fellowships

The Polonsky Academy at the Van Leer Jerusalem Institute will award Polonsky Postdoctoral Fellowships in the humanities or social sciences. Fellows are expected to be physically present at the Institute for consecutive years during the period of the award.

Fellows spend at least three days a week at the Polonsky Academy during the academic year, and meet weekly for a joint seminar, where work in progress is presented and discussed, followed by a joint meal. Fellows are also encouraged to attend and organize international conferences and workshops, for which an additional grant may be provided. Funding is also available for Fellows to have the possibility of inviting established international academics.
