FROM: JUNIOR FACULTY DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM
RE: OPPORTUNITY TO HOST INTERNATIONAL SCHOLARS

American Councils is pleased to announce opportunities for U.S. institutions
to host participants of the Junior Faculty Development Program (JFDP) for
the 2010 spring semester.

The JFDP is a non-degree, professional development program intended to
provide opportunities for university faculty from Eurasia and Southeastern
Europe to engage in curriculum development and explore alternative teaching
methodologies, expand their knowledge in their fields of study and gather
new teaching materials and resources.

JFDP Fellows help internationalize their U.S. host institutions by exposing
college communities to Fellows' rich cultural heritage and alternative
approaches to their academic disciplines. During the program, JFDP Fellows
may make presentations, give special lectures, co-teach courses or
participate in departmental projects, if such opportunities exist. U.S.
hosting institutions are asked to provide a faculty advisor who is willing
to guide a visiting fellow in identifying appropriate academic pursuits
related to their field of study, professional networking, and research.

Fellows do not earn academic degrees, credits or transcripts through the
JFDP, and must return to their home countries after completing the program.

American Councils provides JFDP Fellows with round-trip international and
domestic transportation, medical insurance, monthly stipends, and a
professional development fund. In addition, ECA and American Councils
sponsor events and activities for JFDP alumni after they return to their
home countries.

To apply to host JFDP fellows, please complete the online application form
found here: http://www.jfdp.org/h_apply.php The application deadline is
October 2, 2009. American Councils will send notification concerning
application status by mid October.

The JFDP is a program of the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs of
the U.S. Department of State and administered by the American Councils for
International Education.

For more information on the program, please visit our website or contact the
JFDP office at American Councils.
