Seeking U.S. Host Campuses for Fulbright Junior Faculty Development Programs

IIE’s Council for International Exchange of Scholars (IIE/CIES) is pleased announce the opening of the application process for U.S. campuses to host cohorts of junior scholars from the Fulbright Visiting Scholar Program for Iraq and the Fulbright Junior Faculty Development Programs (JFDP) for Egypt, Lebanon, and Tunisia. These programs are designed to equip scholars with the knowledge and tools needed to build the capacity of their home institutions and to advance the education of future generations. In addition, the programs lay the foundation for the junior scholars and their U.S. hosts to develop long-term institutional relationships and to identify areas of cooperation that can be sustained beyond the grant period.

IIE/CIES seeks U.S. institutions to implement the 10-week programs scheduled for June through September 2016 and invites institutions to submit a proposal to host a cohort of scholars in one of the disciplines outlined below for each program. Each cohort will include approximately four to six scholars.

• Fulbright JFDP for Lebanon (July 4–Sept. 14): International Relations & Political Science, and TEFL.
• Fulbright JFDP for Egypt (July 4–Sept. 14): Public Health, Renewable Energy & Engineering, and TEFL.
• Fulbright JFDP for Tunisia (June 26–Sept. 4): Environmental Policy, Hydrology, and TEFL for STEM Fields.
• Fulbright Visiting Scholar Program for Iraq (June 26 – Sept. 4): Cultural Heritage Preservation, Engineering, and TEFL.
