The Open Society Institute is pleased to announce the Faculty Development Fellowship Program for Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Mongolia, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan.
The program is designed to enhance the academic careers of outstanding full-time junior faculty teaching American Studies, Art History, Cultural Anthropology, History, Law, Philosophy, Political Science, Religion, Social Work, or Sociology at an accredited university in participating countries. Each award recipient will spend one semester at a university in the United States and return home to resume teaching. Renewals for up to two additional years are possible. Awards will support up to three non-consecutive semesters at a US university where the grantees will create innovative approaches to reform in their fields of specialization, and develop regional and international partnerships. Approximately 20 awards will be granted in 2008 to start the fellowship in Spring 2009.
