Subject: CfA: Junior Faculty Development Program (JFDP)
Dear Sirs,
The American Councils for International Education are proud to
announce the
stipend for Junior Faculty Development Program (JFDP) for
academic year
2004/05.
The program places university faculty from Albania, Armenia,
Azerbaijan,
Bosnia and Herzegovina, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan,
Macedonia,
Moldova, Montenegro, Russia, Serbia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan,
Ukraine and
Uzbekistan at selected higher educational institutions in the
United
States, through a process of open competition. JFDP Fellows work
with an
American colleague to further develop their knowledge of teaching
methodologies, theoretical aspects of their field, and to create
new
courses and course materials for use at their home institutions.
The
program is intended to support those scholars who plan to return
to their
home country in order to continue their teaching and professional
activities.
The competition is open to citizens of the above countries, who
currently
teach at a higher educational institution in their home country,
have a
mastery of the English language, possess a university degree, and
have two
years of teaching experience in an institution of higher
education. Applicants in the fields of Arts Management and
Library and
Archival Science need a university degree, two years of work
experience in
that field, and must currently teach or conduct trainings at an
educational
institution.
For the 2004-2005 academic year, JFDP Fellows will undertake a 9-
month,
non-degree program (auditing courses, teaching/lecturing,
developing
curricula, attending conferences), and 2-month summer practicum.
Fellows
are placed at U.S. host institutions, which have facilities and
faculty
appropriate for their field of study. JFDP Fellows receive round-
trip
international and domestic transportation, medical insurance,
monthly
stipends, and a professional development fund.
