We are pleased to share this Call for Applications for the Stewart and Lynda Resnick Fellowship Program, to be researchers in residence during the summer of 2026 at the National Library of Israel. Deadline for applications is June 30, 2025.
This year, two Resnick Senior Fellowships will be awarded to senior, tenured (or tenure-equivalent) professors.
