The application process for the 2027–2028 Azrieli International Postdoctoral Fellowship follows a clearly defined schedule. The online application portal is scheduled to open on 9 August 2026, allowing eligible international researchers to begin preparing and submitting their applications.
The final application deadline is 11 November 2026 at 5:00 PM IST. Applicants are encouraged to complete their submissions well before the closing date to allow sufficient time for reviewing application requirements and ensuring that all necessary documentation has been provided.
An important consideration is the earlier deadline for recommendations. All recommendations from referees and the intended academic sponsor must be submitted by 10 November 2026. Prospective applicants should therefore engage their referees and intended academic sponsors early in the application process to ensure that the required recommendations are submitted on time.
Applicants are encouraged to consult the official Azrieli Fellowships website for comprehensive information regarding eligibility requirements, application procedures, supporting documentation, and other relevant fellowship conditions.
