Rothschild Fellowships

The Rothschild Fellowships are competitive postdoctoral fellowships established to support young scholars of outstanding academic merit and potential. Fellowships are awarded across the Natural, Exact and Life Sciences and Engineering, Humanities and Social Sciences, Brain, Mind and Language, and for Physician-Researchers. The programme supports research and seeks to help recipients advance in their fields and establish academic careers in Israel. A triennial colloquium brings recent cohorts together to present work and network.
