Advancing Women in Science and Gender Equality

About this program

Weizmann Institute of Science’s Office for Advancing Women in Science offers bridge-year funding to support post‑doctoral researchers whose post‑doctoral positions have been terminated. The award is intended to provide a one‑year bridge while applicants pursue next steps; specific funding amounts are not specified in the posting. Eligible applicants are post‑docs whose positions were terminated and must submit a CV with publications list, a 1–2 page letter describing the reasons for termination and the proposed bridge‑year plan, plus letters of recommendation from the post‑doc advisor and a second scientist. Applications are accepted year‑round and must be emailed to womeninscience@weizmann.ac.il with recommendation letters sent directly by referees to that address.
