THE ISRAEL INSTITUTE FOR ADVANCED STUDIES at The Hebrew University of Jerusalem (IIAS) invites established scholars with tenured position in an academic/research institution from Israel and abroad to submit proposals for an individual fellowship at the IIAS for the 2025-2026 academic year. Topics may cover any research area from any discipline and must seek to be innovative, with the potential to impact research in the field. Two or three scholars who will collaborate on the same project should apply individually and state clearly that they wish to work together. 

Fellows spend their residency at the IIAS, located at the Edmond J. Safra Givat Ram campus of The Hebrew University of Jerusalem. The IIAS provides fellows with a nurturing and stimulating academic environment, as well as administrative support. Fellows from abroad receive a generous fellowship and subsidised accommodation.

Our expectation is that fellows’ residency will result in creative and original research that can be shared with the international research community.

Eligibility to Apply

Scholars may be from Israel or abroad and must have a tenured position within an academic research institution. Former fellows may apply for an individual fellowship once 10 years have elapsed from the end of their previous term to the beginning of the academic year of their fellowship.
