Fellowship Timeframe

Duration of the Fellowship Period
The length of the fellowship period is one or two years. Under certain circumstances, and with approval by the head of the fellowship program, the period may be extended to a third and final year. The fellowship period may NOT be extended beyond five years from the date of approval for the Ph.D. degree or the M.D. degree (or the completion of the specialized medical residency). 

Foreign Citizens
The length of the fellowship period and its extension for are also subject to approval by the Israeli Ministry of the Interior and the visa regulations in effect at that time.

FGS Graduates

 

FGS Graduates may stay on as postdoctoral fellows in the same groups in which they have studied for several additional months, but no more than one year, as long as it is a continuum to their Ph.D. studies. In general, FGS graduates may return as postdoctoral fellows to the groups where they previously studied, only after they have completed postdoctoral training of at least two years following their Ph.D. studies, in an accredited institution other than the WIS.

 

FGS Graduates may take a position of a postdoctoral fellow under the supervision of a WIS scientist who was not their Ph.D. advisor for a period of more than one year. In such cases, the candidate, the head of the research group and the head of the department are requested to state in writing that the subject of the research proposed for the fellowship is sufficiently different from the subject of the candidate's Ph.D., and that the former Ph.D. advisor is not being involved in the postdoctoral research.
