The Martin Buber Society of Fellows in the Humanities at the Hebrew University:

Postdoctoral Fellowships in the Humanities and Social Sciences

Deadline: January 30, 2011

The Martin Buber Society of Fellows, a joint venture of the Hebrew University and the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF), aims at fostering inter-disciplinary and inter-cultural academic discourse at the highest level among outstanding young scholars from Israel and Germany together with selected senior colleagues. Each year up to ten exceptionally gifted young post doctoral fellows are appointed in all fields of the humanities and social sciences, with the exception of law and economics. Fellows receive a monthly stipend of approximately 9000 Israeli shekels and a housing subsidy and are asked to reside in Jerusalem. No special connection to Israel, to Jewish studies, or to German-Israel projects is required. Discussions in the Martin Buber Society take place in English. Scholarships are initially granted for two years (subject to a review at the end of the first year), beginning October 1, 2011, on the basis of a detailed outline and description of a research project of major scope and innovative character, and may be extended further.
