2007-2008
International Scholars Fellowship Program
The International Scholars Fellowship Program invites highly-qualified
scholars in social sciences and humanities from around the world to teach
and/or consult at selected university departments in South Eastern Europe,
parts of the former Soviet Union, and Mongolia. The program, part of the
Academic Fellowship Program (AFP), welcomes applications from faculty,
retired faculty, and others holding PhDs in anthropology, area/cultural
studies, gender studies, economics, history, political science,
international relations, psychology, public administration, philosophy,
social work, sociology, public health, human rights & public law, and
journalism/media studies. The program does not support scholars in
philology, the visual and performing arts, or business.
Candidates apply to teach outside their country of citizenship and must
hold
an internationally recognized PhD or JD. AFP accepts applications for
fellowship placements in Albania, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bosnia-Herzegovina,
Bulgaria, Croatia, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kosovo, Kyrgyzstan, Macedonia,
Moldova, Mongolia, Montenegro, Romania, Russia, Serbia, Tajikistan, and
Ukraine.
AFP fellows are placed in carefully selected university departments that
are
amenable to change and demonstrate a realistic and clear vision for future
development. A list of current AFP partner departments can be found on our
website. The list is subject to change in the 2007-08 academic year.
The International Scholars Fellowship Program offers two arrangements:
Nonresident International Scholars share their expertise with host
departments on a consulting basis, visiting the institution for several
short consultations and remaining in contact for mentoring and advice
between visits. Nonresident fellows are senior or well-established
academics; recent PhD recipients are not be considered.
Resident International Scholars live in the host country and teach courses
for one academic year at partner universities. Fellows also work on a
variety of projects within their host departments, and benefit from the
diverse academic network connecting AFP program countries. The resident
option is available for placements ONLY in Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan,
Tajikistan, and Mongolia.
Fellowships generally include a stipend, transportation, and accommodation.
Resident fellows also receive health insurance and various other
allowances.
Application deadline: March 23, 2007. Fellowships begin in August or
September 2007 and normally last one academic year, with the possibility of
renewal.
