How does the decision process work?
Once the finalists have been selected from among the candidates, they will be invited for at least one phone or in-person interview. External consultants, as well as IRF staff, conduct the interviews. Such interviews will take place from mid-March to the end of April. Those selected as Israel Research Fellows for 2011-2012 will be notified by early May, 2011. After candidates accept, they and Israel Research Fellowship staff will discuss different placement possibilities, stipends and other details of the program including specific commitments expected from the Fellows during and following the Fellowship year. We will then, with the Fellow, schedule one or more appointments with the suggested placement organizations.
