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

The Junior Faculty Development Program (JFDP) brings university faculty to
the United States from the Newly Independent States (NIS) for a one-year
fellowship.  Current JFDP Fellows are from Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia,
Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Russia, Ukraine and Uzbekistan.   The
fellowship consists of non-degree study, during which the Fellows create
curricula for new courses, modify curricula for courses they already teach,
and develop new teaching methodologies.  In addition, JFDP Fellows may
focus on developing the administrative infrastructures of their home
universities.  Fellows fulfill these goals by informally auditing and
observing courses, working with faculty in hosting departments, networking,
attending conferences, and teaching (if circumstances permit).  The program
lasts one year, and includes a summer practicum.

The JFDP is fully funded by the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs
of the U.S. Department of State, and is administered by the American
Councils for International Education: ACTR/ACCELS.

Please visit the JFDP website at http://www.actr.org/jfdp or write to
jfdp at actr.org to receive more information and an application.  All
interested faculty, departments, research centers and university offices
are welcome to apply.

Deadline for submitting application:   March 30, 2001.
