Research Groups

THE ISRAEL INSTITUTE FOR ADVANCED STUDIES (IIAS) invites scholars to submit Research Group (RG) proposals forthe 2026-2027 academic year (5 or 10 months). Proposals may cover any research topic from all disciplines including interdisciplinary research,and must seek to be innovative with potential impact on their research field. RG size is flexible, ranging from 5-8 core fellows, (one of whommay be a postdoctoral fellow). Scholars spend their residency at the IIAS, located at the Edmond J. Safra Campus in Givat Ram, Jerusalem.The IIAS provides its fellows and visiting scholars with a nurturing and stimulating academic environment, as well as administrative support.

What is a Research Group?
Each RG brings together a diverse group of scholars to engage in research questions of common interest. The group fellows benefit from integrative thinking and rich dialogue, while expanding individual fellows’ research.
