The Cherrick Center for the study of Zionism, the Yishuv, and the State of Israel awards PhD scholarships in the broad and interdisciplinary field of Israel studies. This includes history, cultural history, arts, literature, folklore, anthropology, sociology, international relations, and law, but also broader cross-disciplinary topics such as gender, neoliberalism, minorities in Israel and the likes. Chronologically, the center’s research mandate spans across the last 150 years, beginning in the last quarter of the nineteenth century. The Cherrick PhD scholarships are eligible for students at stage B of their doctoral work. The criterion for receiving the scholarship is academic excellence in addition to research progress which will be measured in relation to time your research proposal has been approved.
The amount of each PhD scholarship is NIS 32,000. Recipients will be given office space at the Gaster Building (Mount Scopus) and will be required to work there at least two days a week.
