About AFBIU

At American Friends of Bar-Ilan University we support Bar-Ilan University in Israel by engaging U.S. partners and donors to advance education, research, and innovation that strengthen Israel and benefit the world.

We seek kind, curious, diverse, dynamic, intelligent, dedicated people to join our growing, successful team.

We offer competitive compensation and are committed to supporting our employees’ well-being, work-life balance, and professional growth. Our comprehensive benefits package includes:

  • Comprehensive health coverage — medical, dental, and vision plans
  • Generous paid time off, including Jewish and U.S. holidays, plus early closings on Fridays for Shabbat and on many holiday eves
  • 403(b) retirement plan with employer contribution
  • Pre-tax benefits, including flexible spending accounts (FSA) and TransitChek
  • Disability and life insurance coverage
  • Support for professional development and continuing education

AFBIU values in-person collaboration and teamwork, so our NYC-based team members work from our NYC office Monday to Thursday and remotely on Fridays. Please note that, due to the need for close collaboration with colleagues at Bar-Ilan University in Israel, candidates must be able and willing to occasionally take calls or video meetings outside standard U.S. business hours to accommodate the time zone difference.
