The International Scholars Fellowship Program selects highly qualified scholars in the social sciences and humanities to assist Academic Fellowship Program partner departments where Returning Scholars are placed.  The International Scholars advise on the overall reform agenda of the departments and share the latest developments in the respective disciplines, and beyond, with departmental colleagues; collaborate on the introduction of new courses; and encourage the development of skills that are crucial for academic success. One of the greatest, and most needed, contributions that International Scholars make is the expert advice they offer on curriculum development and academic planning.

•A PhD (or equivalent highest degree awarded in the field) in an academic discipline from the list above. Applicants for this program must be senior or well-established academics currently employed by an institution of higher education, or remaining closely associated and still active in teaching and research at a university; recent degree recipients will not be considered.
•Extensive experience in scholarly research and teaching. The successful candidate will show proficiency in innovative teaching methodologies specific for the discipline, and a strong commitment to high-quality teaching. Read the rest of this entry »
