FULBRIGHT SCHOLAR IN RESIDENCE PROGRAM:
VISITING FACULTY FOR SPRING SEMESTER 2008

The worldwide Fulbright Scholar-in-Residence Program brings visiting
scholars and professionals from abroad to lecture at U.S. colleges and
universities. 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.
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.
Small liberal arts colleges, community colleges, and minority-serving
institutions are given priority in applications to host a Fulbright
Scholar-in-Residence.

Proposal guidelines and application forms may be downloaded from:
www.cies.org/sir. For more information, e-mail Senior Program Officer Karen
Watts at kwattscies.iie.org or call her at 202.686.4004.

The deadline to apply for a Scholar in Residence for the semester beginning
in January 2008 is March 1, 2007.
