Short Application Period! Deadline October 15, 2026!
The Moshe Dayan Center for Middle Eastern and African Studies at Tel Aviv University (MDC) and the Institute for the Study of Global Antisemitism and Policy (ISGAP) jointly invite outstanding researchers to apply for postdoctoral and doctoral fellowships for the 2026-2027 academic year.
The research will be conducted at the Moshe Dayan Center within the newly established MDC-ISGAP Research Unit. The unit studies racism and radicalism, the ideologies of extremism and antisemitism, in the Middle East and the Muslim world.
We welcome applications both from scholars already working in this field and from scholars who have not previously studied it but are willing and able to devote part of their research to it. The fellowships are awarded for one year, with the possibility of extension. Applicants must have command of at least one principal research language other than Hebrew or English.
Applications must include:
- A short research proposal of one to two pages
- A curriculum vitae including a list of publications
- A summary of the applicant’s dissertation or doctoral research project of up to two pages
- For postdoctoral applicants: confirmation of the award or submission of the doctoral dissertation.
- For doctoral candidates: an official letter from their university confirming their current doctoral status, the stage of their research, and the expected date of dissertation submission.
- A writing sample
- One letter of recommendation
- The names and contact details of two additional referees
This call is being issued at short notice following the establishment of the new Research Unit. The selection process will therefore move quickly.
APPLICATION DEADLINE: OCTOBER 15, 2026.
