Dear BSF Applicant,

The BSF has been approached by the U.S.-Israel Educational Foundation,
better known as the Fulbright Foundation, with the request to inform you of
the grants they offer for young American scientists to pursue a
post-doctoral position in Israel. The support that Fulbright grants by
themselves offers appears to be insufficient. The grants may be particularly
attractive to BSF grantees who can use their grants as the source for the
required additional support and accept an American post-doc to their labs in
Israel.

Information about the Fulbright grants can be found below. Apparently, there
are several such positions that are currently available.

Inquiries about the program should be made directly to the U.S.-Israel
Educational Foundation.  
 
Sincerely,

Dr. Yair Rotstein
Executive Director
U.S. - Israel Binational Science Foundation

Fulbright Israel Post-Doctoral Fellowships for American Researchers in All
Academic Disciplines


The United States-Israel Educational Foundation (USIEF), the Fulbright
commission for Israel, offers 8 fellowships to American post-doctoral
researchers in support of work to be carried out at Israeli universities
during the course of the 2013/2014-2014/2015 academic years.

The US Post-Doctoral Fellowship Program is open to candidates in all
academic disciplines.

Program grants total $40,000, $20,000 per academic year.

Program fellows must be accepted as post-doctoral researchers by Israeli
host institutions, which agree to provide them with a standard post-doctoral
grant, which they will receive in addition to their Fulbright Fellowship.
Thus, the total financial support received by Program Fellows is likely to
be in the range of at least $35,000-$40,000 per year.  

Applications for 2013/2014-2014/2015 Fulbright Post-Doctoral Fellowships
must be submitted to the Council for International Exchange of Scholars by
August 1, 2012.
