The United States-Palestine Educational Foundation (USIEF) plans to award eight grants to U.S. postdoctoral scholars who seek to pursue research at Palestinei institutions of higher education. Grants are open to researchers in all academic disciplines and support programs of work in Palestine for up to 20 months (two academic years).
According to USIEF policy, Fulbright postdoctoral fellows must hold official postdoctoral fellow status at their host institutions in Palestine, including access to campus resources. Additionally, host institutions will be asked to provide Fulbright postdoctoral fellows a grant no smaller than their own standard institutional postdoctoral award, a description of which should be included in the letter of invitation submitted with the Fulbright application. For more information on the financial contribution required by host institutions, please contact Noa Turgeman at NoaT@fulbright.org.il.
In addition to being a prestigious academic exchange program, the Fulbright Program is designed to expand and strengthen relationships between the people of the United States and citizens of other nations and to promote international understanding and cooperation. To support this mission, Fulbright Scholars will be asked to give public talks, mentor students, and otherwise engage with the host community, in addition to their primary activities.
Grant length is up to 20 months. Grants may begin any time in the period of August 2019-April 2020 as agreed upon with host institution. Locations can be any accredited institution of higher education. For the complete list of these institutions visit (http://lang.che.org.il/en/?page_id=15417) There is no flexoption. Applications are sought in all appropriate disciplines. During their grant period, Fulbright U.S. Scholars in the Middle East and North Africa region may apply for a short-term regional travel grant (five to 14 days) for participation in a variety of activities including faculty and student lectures, graduate or faculty seminars, curriculum development, public lectures, panel presentations, needs assessment, conferences, or some combination thereof.
