College Fellowship for citizens pf Israel and USA in Agricultural Research
Job Description: The Vaadia-BARD Postdoctoral Fellowship program is designed to identify and support young scientists who will eventually become leaders in agricultural sciences and technologies in universities and research institutes in the United States and Israel. The primary objective of the fellowship is to enable these young scientists to acquire new skills and techniques while becoming professionally established in the agricultural research community. The program promotes cooperative agricultural research between postdoctoral fellows from one country (the United States or Israel) and established scientists from the other. Recipients will travel to the host country to carry out their research. BARD gives preference to applicants with innovative research topics that are relevant to agricultural issues.
Eligibility
Citizens of Israel, who will have fulfilled all the requirements for a Ph.D. degree in Israel and citizens of the USA who will have fulfilled all the requirements for a Ph.D. degree in the USA within three years prior to initiation of the award, are eligible to apply. Israelis already in the United States and Americans already in Israel for a period longer than six months are not eligible to apply.
The BARD fellowship is not available for the continuation of any existing appointment, except in those cases wherein the applicant has been employed in the intended mentor’s lab for not longer than 6 months from the date of submission of the application.
For one year following the conclusion of the fellowship, recipients are ineligible to submit a BARD research proposal in which they are the PI or Co-PI affiliated with an institution in the host country. They may submit as a PI or Co-PI only if affiliated with an institution in their home country. Fellows can submit as a collaborating investigator with affiliation from either country.
Dual Citizens: The eligibility of persons enjoying dual citizenship in the USA and Israel will be considered on an individual case basis by the BARD executive; such potential applicants should contact the BARD office before applying (lea@bard-isus.com).
