Jacob Robinson Institute for the History of Individual and Collective Rights Postdoctoral Fellowships

The Jacob Robinson Institute for the History of Individual and Collective Rights promotes high-quality research in the spirit of its namesake, the Jewish jurist of Lithuanian origin Jacob Robinson (1889-1977). His life and work guide the Institute’s academic activities and define its topics:

• Modern Jewish and non-Jewish minority politics, the idea of national self-determination, as well the development of collective rights and their relationship to individual rights.
• Compensation and reparation to Jewish and non-Jewish victims of grave human rights abuses.
• Israel’s statehood, sovereignty, and its relationship with the Jewish and Israeli diaspora.
• Forced displacement, history of human rights and humanitarianism, as well as the interplay between democracy and the rule of law.

Applications are welcome from candidates in any discipline, affiliated with Israeli and non-Israeli universities, whose research aligns with the Institute’s focus.
