Biography
He received his BSc (1969) and MSc (1971) degrees and completed his PhD (1974) at the Weizmann Institute of Science. He was a postdoctoral fellow at Fermilab (1975-1976) and at Lawrence Berkeley Lab (1977). He has been at the Hebrew University since 1978, first as Senior Lecturer, Associate Professor (1981), and Professor (1985). He was chair of the Racah Institute of Physics, as well as director of the Israel Institute for Advanced Studies (2005-2012).
He has held various international scientific responsibilities: chair of the Israeli Committee for High Energy Physics, member of the editorial board of JHEP and Nuclear Physics B journals, Blaise Pascal International chair at Paris VI and École normale supérieure (France) (2013), and Louis Michel visiting chair at the IHES, France (2015). In 2019, he was a co-recipient of the AAAS Award for Science Diplomacy for his 18-years-long leadership of the SESAME light source project in Jordan that has effectively stimulated scientific activity and cooperation among the Middle East countries.{{cite web|title=Eliezer Rabinovici – PeaceTalks|url=https://www.peacetalks.net/pt/eliezer-rabinovici/|access-date=29 September 2021}} In 2021, he was elected president of the CERN Council.{{cite web|title=Professor Eliezer Rabinovici elected as next President of the CERN Council|url=https://home.cern/news/press-release/cern/professor-eliezer-rabinovici-elected-next-president-cern-council|access-date=29 September 2021}}
