Zuckerman Postdoctoral Scholars Program

The Zuckerman Postdoctoral Scholars Program attracts high-achieving postdoctoral scholars from premier universities in the United States and Canada to do research at one of eight Israeli universities. Once they complete their research, many Zuckerman postdocs are expected to accept faculty positions at top North American universities, weaving a network of academic collaboration and goodwill that will greatly benefit US-Israeli scientific cooperation. Candidates for the Zuckerman STEM Leadership Program are assessed based on their academic and research achievements, as well as on personal merit and leadership qualities, without regard to race, religion, gender, ethnicity, or age. Participating Israeli universities are Ariel University, Bar-Ilan University, Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, University of Haifa, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Technion - Israel Institute of Technology, Tel Aviv University, and Weizmann Institute of Science. Candidates may apply to more than one of the said universities. Applications to the Zuckerman Postdoctoral Scholarship Program must be sent by the hosting supervisor(s) via email in a single pdf file to one or more of the participating Israeli universities. There are two deadlines: February 16, 2025 and March 31, 2025. Please visit the scholarship's website for more information.
