invites applications for the

International Scholars Fellowship Program
2010-2011 academic year


The International Scholars Fellowship Program selects highly qualified
scholars in the social sciences and humanities to assist Academic
Fellowship Program (AFP) partner departments where Returning Scholars
are placed. Various numbers of Returning Scholars are supported in every
AFP partner department on their own fellowships. The International
Scholars advise on the overall reform agenda of the departments and
share with departmental colleagues the latest developments in their
discipline, collaborate on the introduction of new courses, and
encourage the development of skills critical to academic work. Perhaps
the greatest, and most needed, contribution of International Scholars is
the expert advice they offer on curriculum development and academic
planning.

International Scholars share their experience with the department on a
consultative basis. They work on-site with the departmental faculty
members and PhD students during two or three short and intense visits in
the academic year, and remain in touch with colleagues between visits.

Fellows are placed in departments that have been carefully selected as
AFP partners.  Partnerships are established on the basis of the
departments' openness to change and advancement, and clear visions for
future development. Within these departments, the AFP Returning Scholars
Fellowship Program supports talented scholars who, after earning a
postgraduate degree abroad, seek university positions and academic
careers in their home countries. A list of current AFP partner
departments can be found on the program's website
(http://www.facebook.com/l/b7740;www.soros.org/initiatives/hesp/focus/afp). The list is subject
to change in the 2010-2011 academic year.

Supported fields are: anthropology, area/cultural studies, economics,
gender studies, history, human rights & public law, international
relations, journalism/media studies, philosophy, political science,
psychology, public policy/environmental studies, public policy/public
health, social work, and sociology. The program does not support
scholars in philology, the visual and performing arts, and business.

Candidates must be well-established or senior scholars and hold an
internationally-recognized PhD (or equivalent highest degree awarded in
the academic field).  AFP accepts applications for placements in
Albania, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Croatia, Georgia,
Kazakhstan, Kosovo, Kyrgyzstan, Macedonia, Moldova, Mongolia,
Montenegro, Russia, Serbia, Tajikistan, and Ukraine.

Fellowships begin in August or September 2010 and last one academic
year. Fellowships include a modest stipend, transportation,
accommodation, and various other allowances, and can be renewed.

Application deadline: April 7, 2010.

Applications should be submitted via the Online Application System
