<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify">The Martin Buber Society of
Fellows aims at fostering inter-disciplinary academic discourse at the highest
level among outstanding young scholars (post-doctoral). Scholars 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 approved no earlier than October 1st,
2013, and no later than July 1st, 2018. Application is open for those
specializing in <b>all fields of the
Humanities and the Social Sciences</b> (with the exception of Law and Applied
Economics). We are looking for creative humanists and social scientists with
broad intellectual horizons. <b><u>No special connection of the subject matter
to Jewish studies or Israel is required</u></b>.<span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify">Each year the Academic Committee
of the Martin Buber Society selects up to ten exceptionally gifted young
scholars (up to five from Israel and five from Germany). The Fellows are asked
to move to Jerusalem and stay in residence. They receive a monthly stipend of
approximately 9000 NIS and an additional housing subsidy that can be used either
for apartments in the university’s Student Village (on campus) or help with
costs in apartments elsewhere in town. Non-Israeli fellows who move to
Jerusalem with their family are eligible for additional support.<span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify">Fellows are obliged to
participate in biweekly colloquia, workshops, lectures, study excursions, and other
cultural and academic activities of the MBSF. They have the opportunity to
pursue their individual research under optimal conditions for the term of their
fellowship and are expected to become part of the vibrant scholarly community
in Jerusalem, reflecting the widest possible disciplinary spectrum in the Humanities
and Social Sciences and embodying a spirit of shared intellectual adventure.
Discussions in the Martin Buber Society take place in English (not in Hebrew or
German). <span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify">Scholarships are granted for a
maximum of four years (<b>subject to a review at the end of each year</b>),
beginning October 1, 2018, on the basis of a detailed outline and description
of a research project of major scope and innovative character. <span></span></p>
