Azrieli Fellowships for Graduate Studies 2026–2027 (Ph.D.)

The Azrieli Fellows Program was established in 2007 to create a network of leading academics and professionals committed to raising Israel's profile while maintaining strong academic links between Israel and the rest of the world. The Program offers generous funding for the three critical stages of an academic career through its Graduate Studies Fellowships, International Postdoctoral Fellowships and Early Career Faculty Fellowships.

In keeping with its core values, the program nurtures interdisciplinary and cross-cultural exchange, leadership training, community engagement, professional mentorship, and a growing alum network. Azrieli Fellows are a community of outstanding scientists and scholars with the unique potential to perform groundbreaking research, alongside an intellectual curiosity that transcends their field of study.
By enabling multidisciplinary research and the cross-pollination of ideas, the Azrieli Fellows Program breaks down silos, encourages creative thinking, and drives out-of-the-box solutions to some of the world's most pressing issues.
