Kalaniyot at Cornell focuses on two goals: building a supportive campus community and fostering research excellence by strengthening ties with Israeli researchers.

Kalaniyot provides financial support to bring the finest emerging researchers from Israel to U.S. campuses for postdoctoral fellowships. Cornell's postdoctoral fellows program will launch in 2026. Additional funding opportunities will be available in the coming months.
