3 AERI (Alternative Sustainable Energy Research Initiative) Postdoctoral Fellowships | Weizmann Institute of Science

Alternative Energy Research at the Weizmann Institute is expanding, with activities spreading over our Chemistry, Physics, Life Sciences and Mathematics departments.

Applications are welcome from qualified candidates wishing to join a Weizmann research group for exciting research on Energy related scientific fields.

AERI foreign postdocs will be awarded a two-year fellowship (see Postdoctoral Fellowship Program for details), and enjoy a unique opprtunity - a third year fellowship that can be used either at the Weizmann Institute or anywhere else the applicant wishes. The goal is to enable our postdocs an easy transition to permanent academic positions.

Program Details:

2. The successful application will be awarded a three-year fellowship.

3. The level of the fellowship will be identical to other postdoctoral fellowships at the Weizmann Institute of Science.

4. The first two years will be spent in the host laboratory at the Weizmann Institute of Science.

5. Toward the end of the second year, the postdoc will inform the host and the AERI program of his/her intentions for the third year.

6. Should the postdoc decide to carry the fellowship to another university, a proof of acceptance to that university should be provided.

7. The third year fellowship will be at a level identical to that of the first two years, payable in Israel or anywhere in the world.

8. Taxation and other financial issues applicable to a fellowship being paid outside of Israel should be clarified by the candidate.
