THE ISRAEL INSTITUTE FOR ADVANCED STUDIES (IIAS) invites scholars to submit Research Group (RG) proposals forthe 2026-2027 academic year (5 or 10 months). Proposals may cover any research topic from all disciplines including interdisciplinary research,and must seek to be innovative with potential impact on their research field. RG size is flexible, ranging from 5-8 core fellows, (one of whommay be a postdoctoral fellow). Scholars spend their residency at the IIAS, located at the Edmond J. Safra Campus in Givat Ram, Jerusalem.The IIAS provides its fellows and visiting scholars with a nurturing and stimulating academic environment, as well as administrative support.

What is a Research Group?
Each RG brings together a diverse group of scholars to engage in research questions of common interest. The group fellows benefit from integrative thinking and rich dialogue, while expanding individual fellows’ research.

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 2026-2027 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.
