The Azrieli Fellowships – New Funding Opportunity For Canadian Postdoctoral Researchers In Israel

The Azrieli Foundation is delighted to announce the creation of a new opportunity for researchers.

Beginning in the 2010/2011 academic year, the Azrieli Fellows Program will welcome the best and brightest scholars from Canada, who wish to undertakepostdoctoral research in Israel. Scholars may undertake research in any field of study. Applicants must be Canadian citizens or have completed a doctorate at a Canadian university.

The fellowships are awarded on the basis of academic excellence. Candidates are assessed by leading experts and academics for their potential to make cutting-edge contributions to their respective fields. Aspects of personal merit and leadership abilities are also taken into consideration.

We encourage you to pass this information along to the researchers and academic staff, and make them aware of this unique opportunity to have top level young scholars join their research teams, funded by the Azrieli Foundation.

I welcome the opportunity to speak with you about this initiative. Please do not hesitate to contact me at the Azrieli Foundation.
