AMERICAN COUNCILS FOR INTERNATIONAL EDUCATION: ACTR/ACCELS
JUNIOR FACULTY DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM (JFDP)

      American Councils is pleased to announce opportunities for U.S. 
institutions to host participants of the Junior Faculty Development 
Program (JFDP) for the 2002-2003 academic year.  JFDP is a 
non-degree, professional development program intended to provide 
opportunities for university faculty from ten Eurasian countries to 
develop new courses, implement curriculum reform, and cultivate new 
teaching skills and techniques through exposure to U.S. educational 
methods.  JFDP participants teach at higher educational institutions 
in their home countries in twenty-three academic disciplines of the 
humanities and social sciences. JFDP Fellows are selected through 
open competitions in Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Kazakhstan, 
Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Russia, Turkmenistan, Ukraine and Uzbekistan.
      JFDP Fellows help internationalize their U.S. host institutions 
by bringing cultural diversity and new perspectives in teaching and 
learning.  Likewise, Fellows may serve as potential vehicles for 
on-going collaborations and institutional partnerships.  During the 
program, JFDP Fellows informally attend relevant courses in their 
fields of study.  As visiting scholars, Fellows may make 
presentations, give special lectures, co-teach courses or 
participate in departmental projects, if such opportunities exist. 
U.S. hosts are asked to provide a faculty advisor who is willing to 
guide the Fellow with academic pursuits related to course 
development, professional networking, and research.
      JFDP is a fully funded program of the Bureau of Educational and 
Cultural Affairs (ECA) of the U.S. Department of State.  Information 
and the host application are located at the JFDP Web-site:
<www.actr.org/JFDP>.
      The JFDP Web-site offers a fully online application and an 
option to download the printable application.  Printed applications 
may be faxed or mailed to the address below.
