Post-Doctoral Scholarships - 10/2018

Tel Aviv University offers Post-Doctoral scholarships for one year from October 2018 for new Post-Docs who are at the beginning of their academic career.

The amount of the scholarship per year is about NIS 68,000. Half of the scholarship will be financed by the advisor and half by the university or by the Pikovsky Valazzi Fund.

The scholarship will be granted for one year.

The university will grant 20 scholarships on the basis of matching for new Post-Docs. Ten out of the 20 scholarships will be granted to Post-Docs from leading universities abroad.
