International Scholars Fellowship Program<br>
<br>
The International Scholars Fellowship Program selects<br>
highly qualified scholars in the social sciences and<br>
humanities to assist Academic Fellowship Program (AFP)<br>
partner departments where Returning Scholars are<br>
placed. Various numbers of Returning Scholars are<br>
supported in every AFP partner department on their own<br>
fellowship (see below). The International Scholars<br>
advise on the overall reform agenda of the departments<br>
and share with departmental colleagues the latest<br>
developments in their discipline, collaborate on the<br>
introduction of new courses, and encourage the<br>
development of skills critical to academic work.<br>
Perhaps the greatest, and most needed, contribution of<br>
International Scholars is the expert advice they offer<br>
on curriculum development and academic planning.<br>
International Scholars share their experience with the<br>
department on a consultative basis. They work on-site<br>
with the departments during two or three short and<br>
intense visits, and remain in touch with colleagues<br>
between visits.<br>
<br>
Fellows are placed in departments that have been<br>
carefully selected as AFP partners. Partnerships are<br>
established on the basis of the departments' openness<br>
to change and advancement, and clear visions for<br>
future development. Within these departments, the AFP<br>
Returning Scholars Fellowship Program supports<br>
talented scholars who, after earning a postgraduate<br>
degree abroad, seek university positions and academic<br>
careers in their home countries. A list of current AFP<br>
partner departments can be found on our website. The<br>
list is subject to change in the 2008/09 academic<br>
year.<br>
AFP operates in Southeastern Europe, parts of the<br>
former Soviet Union, and Mongolia. Supported fields<br>
are: anthropology, area/cultural studies, gender<br>
studies, economics, history, political science,<br>
international relations, psychology, public<br>
administration, philosophy, social work, sociology,<br>
public health, human rights & public law, and<br>
journalism/media studies. The program does not support<br>
scholars in philology, the visual and performing arts,<br>
or business.<br>
<br>
Candidates must be well-established or senior scholars<br>
and hold an internationally-<wbr>recognized PhD (or<br>
equivalent highest degree awarded in the field). AFP<br>
accepts applications for placements in Albania,<br>
Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Croatia,<br>
Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kosovo, Kyrgyzstan, Macedonia,<br>
Moldova, Mongolia, Montenegro, Russia, Serbia,<br>
Tajikistan, and Ukraine.<br>
<br>
Fellowships begin in August or September 2008 and last<br>
one academic year. Fellowships include a modest<br>
stipend, transportation, accommodation, and various<br>
other allowances, and can be renewed.<br>
<br>
Application deadline: April 15th, 2008. For<br>
application procedure and guidelines, please see our<br>
