The
Worldwide Fulbright Scholar-in-Residence
Program brings visiting scholars and professionals
from abroad to lecture at U.S. colleges
and universities for one semester or one
academic year. Fulbright Scholars-in-Residence
can have a significant impact on U.S. colleges
and universities. In addition to teaching
courses, scholars give campus-wide and community
lectures, help initiate international programs
and contribute to curriculum development.
Although preference is given to proposals
in the humanities or social sciences, other
fields focusing on international issues
will be considered. The program is especially
appropriate for small liberal arts colleges,
minority-serving institutions, and community
colleges, many of which do not often have
the opportunity to host visiting scholars.
Under the Scholar-in-Residence (SIR) Program,
interested institutions submit proposals
to invite scholars to teach one or more
courses and to be in residence for a semester
or an academic year. Proposals are welcome
from individual institutions, as well as
from consortia of two or more institutions.
Institutions may suggest suitable candidates
or have CIES recruit scholars from a particular
world area. Proposal guidelines may be downloaded
from the link above or requested from CIES
program staff listed below. The application
form may also be downloaded in Word format.
A separate program exists for universities
to host experts on the European
Union (EU SIR) as resident fellows for
one term. All institutions with appropriate
programs and activities relating to EU affairs
are encouraged to submit proposals under
this program.
