The Dan David Society of Fellows at Tel Aviv University is accepting applications for postdoctoral research in the study of the past. This two-year fellowship offers generous funding for international and Israeli scholars across disciplines including history, archaeology, art history, history of education, history of science, technology and medicine, anthropology, literature, philosophy, and digital humanities.
Applicants must have completed their PhD between October 1, 2020, and September 1, 2025. Researchers who completed their PhD at Tel Aviv University are ineligible. Those who have not yet completed their degree must provide a statement from their institution indicating the prospective submission date. Parental leave can extend eligibility by one year per child.
Up to four fellowships will be awarded, each for a maximum of two years starting October 1, 2025. Fellows will be active members of Tel Aviv University’s scholarly community, participate in seminars, and present their research annually. The fellowship includes a $40,000 annual scholarship, with additional research and travel funding, and subsidized on-campus housing for non-Israeli fellows.
Applications must include a CV, research statement, PhD summary, and two recommendation letters (one from the doctoral supervisor and one external).
The deadline for the 2025-2027 academic years is December 15, 2024. Candidates will be informed of the decision regarding their application by April 2025.
