“The Minerva Center for the Relations between Israel and Aram in Biblical Times” is an international, inter-disciplinary, and inter-university center for the study of various aspects of the relations between the cultures of Israel and Aram – primarily in ancient periods – but in some cases, up until the modern period. The center is located at Bar-Ilan University (BIU), and collaborates with the University of Leipzig in Germany, as well as other academic institutions in Israel and the world. The center’s directors are Prof. Aren Maeir (BIU) and Prof. Angelika Berlejung (Leipzig), and the center members at BIU are Prof. Esther Eshel, Dr. Yigal Levin and Dr. Leeor Gottlieb.

In certain cases, it may be possible to register in another relevant department. The stipend is meant for students who will commence their doctoral studies in the 2015/2016 academic year (beginning in October 2015). The stipend will be to the sum of 4000 NIS per month for 4 years, as well as a full exemption from tuition. The grantees will commit to not work in other jobs, and to complete their PhD within 4 years (in certain cases, an extension of one year will be permitted).
