The International Scholars Fellowship Program invites highly-qualified
scholars in social sciences and humanities from around the world to teach
and/or consult at selected university departments in South Eastern Europe,
parts of the former Soviet Union, and Mongolia.

The program, part of the Academic Fellowship Program (AFP), welcomes
applications from faculty, retired faculty, and others holding PhDs in
anthropology, area/cultural studies, gender studies, economics, history,
political science, international relations, psychology, public
administration, philosophy, social work, sociology, public health, human
rights & public law, and journalism/media studies. The program does not
support scholars in philology, the visual and performing arts, or
business.

Candidates apply to teach outside their country of citizenship and mus
thold an internationally-recognized PhD or JD. AFP accepts applications
for fellowship placements in Albania, Armenia, Azerbaijan,
Bosnia-Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kosovo,
Kyrgyzstan, Macedonia, Moldova, Mongolia, Montenegro, Romania, Russia,
Serbia, Tajikistan, and Ukraine. AFP fellows are placed in carefully
selected university departments that are amenable to change and
demonstrate a realistic and clear vision for future development. A list of
current AFP partner departments can be found on our website. The list is
subject to change in the 2007-08 academic year.

The International Scholars Fellowship Program offers two arrangements:

1) Nonresident International Scholars share their expertise with host
departments on a consulting basis, visiting the institution for several
short consultations and remaining in contact for mentoring and advice
between visits. Nonresident fellows are senior or well-established
academics; recent PhD recipients are not be considered.

2) Resident International Scholars live in the host country and teach
courses for one academic year at partner universities. Fellows also work
on a variety of projects within their host departments, and benefit from
the diverse academic network connecting AFP program countries. The
resident option is available for placements ONLY in Kazakhstan,
Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Mongolia.

Fellowships generally include a stipend, transportation, and
accommodation. Resident fellows also receive health insurance and various
other allowances.

Application deadline: March 23, 2007. 

Fellowships begin in August or September 2007 and normally last one
academic year, with the possibility of renewal. For applications and
guidelines, please see our web site:
