The Azrieli Fellows Program provides generous financial support to the best and brightest researchers from Israel and around the world, who will use their training to become leaders in their respective fields.
About the Azrieli Fellows Program
The Azrieli Fellows Program was established in 2007, creating an elite group of academics who, through their research and shared experiences in Israel, cultivate a network of leading professionals committed to raising the country’s profile while maintaining strong academic links between Israel and the rest of the world.
Candidates applying to the Azrieli Fellows Program are assessed on their past academic performance and on their potential to generate cutting-edge contributions to their respective fields. Azrieli Fellows are excellent, driven and determined to seek progress and have an impact on society.
By enabling multidisciplinary study and the cross-pollination of ideas, the Azrieli Fellows Program aims to break down silos, encourage creative thinking and drive out-of-the-box solutions to some of the world’s most pressing issues.
The program offers generous, competitive fellowships alongside academic enrichment activities aimed at promoting leadership and community engagement.
There are three fellowship tracks within the program: Azrieli Graduate Studies Fellowships, Azrieli International Postdoctoral Fellowships, Azrieli Faculty Fellowships

Our program develops academic leaders who not only excel in their area of research, but also promote academic and professional links between Israel and the rest of the world.
The fellowship is open to Canadian citizens, or to those who have obtained their PhD degree at a recognized Canadian university. Candidates are selected based on their record of academic and research achievement alongside personal merits, leadership qualities and engagement with society.
Online applications are now open.
