Academic Fellowship Program 2008/09
International Scholars Fellowship Program

The International Scholars Fellowship Program selects
highly qualified scholars in the social sciences and
humanities to assist Academic Fellowship Program (AFP)
partner departments where Returning Scholars are
placed. Various numbers of Returning Scholars are
supported in every AFP partner department on their own
fellowship (see below). The International Scholars
advise on the overall reform agenda of the departments
and share with departmental colleagues the latest
developments in their discipline, collaborate on the
introduction of new courses, and encourage the
development of skills critical to academic work.
Perhaps the greatest, and most needed, contribution of
International Scholars is the expert advice they offer
on curriculum development and academic planning.
International Scholars share their experience with the
department on a consultative basis. They work on-site
with the departments during two or three short and
intense visits, and remain in touch with colleagues
between visits.

Fellows are placed in departments that have been
carefully selected as AFP partners.  Partnerships are
established on the basis of the departments' openness
to change and advancement, and clear visions for
future development. Within these departments, the AFP
Returning Scholars Fellowship Program supports
talented scholars who, after earning a postgraduate
degree abroad, seek university positions and academic
careers in their home countries. A list of current AFP
partner departments can be found on our website.  The
list is subject to change in the 2008/09 academic
year.
AFP operates in Southeastern Europe, parts of the
former Soviet Union, and Mongolia.  Supported fields
are: 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 must be well-established or senior scholars
and hold an internationally-recognized PhD (or
equivalent highest degree awarded in the field). AFP
accepts applications for placements in Albania,
Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Croatia,
Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kosovo, Kyrgyzstan, Macedonia,
Moldova, Mongolia, Montenegro, Russia, Serbia,
Tajikistan, and Ukraine.

Fellowships begin in August or September 2008 and last
one academic year. Fellowships include a modest
stipend, transportation, accommodation, and various
other allowances, and can be renewed.

Application deadline: April 15th, 2008. For
application procedure and guidelines, please see our
