Your first day in the department
- Get yourself a local SIM card (you will need it for all the later steps). There is a store at the center across the street, called Blue Phone; they sell prepaid SIM cards by 019 mobile. The SIM card costs 40NIS (one time), and a standard plan (including unlimited calls + 20GB data/month) costs 49NIS/month. Their phone number is 03-5259192.
- Get yourself a bank account and a debit card. Inside campus, you'll find a branch of Mizrahi Tefahot (bank code # is 20, and the branch code # is 414). Make sure to bring in your postdoc invitation letter, your passport, and the number of your local phone number.
- Fill the two forms: Postdoctoral fellowship application form and Registration form for postdocs. Submit them, along with your passport photo, to the department's secretary.
- Get yourself an health insurance. One option is that of Harel Yedidim.
Department's forms
Dorms
- The dormitories do not supply linens, sheets etc. please make sure to bring whatever you need.
- Note that the dorms have a laundry room, and that you can pay in it with cash (the instructions there seem to insist that you download some app to pay with your phone, but in fact you only need to have 11-13 NIS exact change (maybe times two, for the washer and the dryer)).
Campus
- On-campus utilities (bank/post office/grocery store/etc')
