The Vaadia-BARD Postdoctoral Fellowship program is designed to identify and support young scientists who will eventually become leaders in agricultural sciences and technologies in universities and research institutes in the United States and Israel. The primary objective of the fellowship is to enable these young scientists to acquire new skills and techniques while becoming professionally established in the agricultural research community. The program promotes cooperative agricultural research between postdoctoral fellows from one country (the United States or Israel) and established scientists from the other. Recipients will travel to the host country to carry out their research. BARD gives preference to applicants with innovative research topics that are relevant to agricultural issues.
New Postdoctoral Fellowship Opportunities!
We are pleased to announce the availability of two new postdoctoral fellowships, designed to support researchers whose work focuses on AI and Smart Farming or Regenerative Agriculture. These fellowships offer a unique opportunity to contribute to groundbreaking research at the intersection of cutting-edge technology and sustainable farming practices.
- AI and Smart Farming: Explore the potential of artificial intelligence to revolutionize agricultural practices, from optimizing crop management to enhancing precision farming techniques.
- Regenerative Agriculture: Investigate innovative approaches to restoring soil health, promoting biodiversity, and fostering sustainability in agricultural systems.
Award duration: 1-2 years; successful applicants, with the agreement of their mentor, become eligible for a second year of funding wherein the funding is shared on a matching basis between BARD and the host lab.
