The Leonid Nevzlin Research Center for Russian and East European Jewry at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, in cooperation with the Harriman Institute and the Institute for Israel and Jewish Studies at Columbia University, the Skirball Department of Hebrew and Judaic Studies at New York University and the Leibniz Institute for Jewish History and Culture – Simon Dubnow are pleased to invite applications for the ninth session of the International Forum of Young Scholars on East European Jewry. This session will be hosted at Columbia University and NYU.

Its purpose is to promote the research and career progress of promising young scholars from all countries. This is an ongoing forum, comprised of 15 advanced PhD students (ABD) and recent PhDs (prior to tenure-track appointments). It meets periodically and is intended to allow the young scholars an opportunity for cross-fertilization in their fields with their own peers and with an esteemed group of senior scholars led by Israel Bartal, Oleg Budnitskii, David Engel, Zvi Gitelman and Gabriella Safran. The Forum's faculty also includes scholars representing the organizing institutions: Jonathan Dekel-Chen and Semion Goldin from the Hebrew University, Rebecca Kobrin from Columbia University, and Yfaat Weiss from the Leibniz Institute for Jewish History and Culture – Simon Dubnow.
