Seeking U.S. Host Campuses for Fulbright Faculty Development Programs
- Environmental Sciences
The Institute of International Education's Council for International
Exchange of Scholars (IIE/CIES) is pleased to invite U.S. campuses to
apply to host a cohort of environmental policy scholars from the
Fulbright Junior Faculty Development Programs for Tunisia and a
cohort of renewable energy and engineering scholars from the
Fulbright Junior Faculty Development Program for Egypt.
Sponsored by the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Educational and
Cultural Affairs, the 10-week summer programs scheduled for late June
through September 2016 are designed to bring junior scholars to the
U.S. for faculty development, mentoring, and cultural exchange
activities. Approximately six scholars will be placed in each of the
two cohorts.
Participating institutions will enjoy a unique opportunity to
establish lasting relationships with faculty members at universities
in the scholars' home countries and to build upon current efforts to
internationalize their campuses and surrounding communities.
