The Martin Buber Society of Fellows aims at fostering interdisciplinary academic discourse at the highest level among outstanding young scholars (post-doctoral). Candidates who have completed their PhD at an Israeli or German university, as well as citizens of Israel or Germany who have received their PhD in any country, are eligible to apply. Applicants must have their PhD degree in hand no earlier than 01. October 2020, and no later than 01. July 2025. Application is open for
those specializing in all fields of the Humanities and the Social Sciences. No connection of the subject matter to Jewish studies or Israel is required.
This year the Academic Committee of the Martin Buber Society of Fellows will select up to eight young scholars (up to four from Israel and four from Germany). Fellows receive a monthly stipend of approximately 9.000 NIS (2.197 EUR)*. They are expected to be in residence and asked to spend at least 4 days a week at the office. The fellows are also encouraged to move to Jerusalem and are required to participate in biweekly colloquia, workshops, lectures, study excursions, and other cultural and academic activities of the MBSF. Discussions in the Martin Buber Society take place in English. Scholarships are granted for a maximum of four years, beginning 01. October 2025 (subject to review at the end of each year), based on a detailed proposal of a research project of major scope and innovative character – proving the applicant’s ability to carry out the proposed research.
Applications should be commited online. The deadline is 18. September 2024.
