Invite a Postdoctoral Teaching Fellow

The Postdoctoral Teaching Fellowships supports Israeli postdocs interested in placements in the United States.

Program Overview

Postdoctoral Teaching Fellows typically stay at a single school for three years and teach four courses a year, three of which focus on modern Israel. Fellows also participate in four public or academic events about modern Israel each year.

Course Requirements

Courses may be in any discipline but, to be considered Israel-focused, at least sixty percent of the topics and readings must be about modern Israel.

Courses must be listed at the undergraduate level, taught in person, and last an entire semester or quarter (at least 10 weeks).

Host Requirements

Host universities must provide an on-campus office (shared is fine), sponsor the visitor’s visa, provide access to university health insurance, and make efforts to ensure courses have robust enrollment.

Institute Support

The Israel Institute recruits Israeli scholars and provides grants to support international exchange.
