Call for Applications from U.S. Host Institutions for the 2003-2004 Academic Year

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 2003-2004 academic year.  JFDP is a non-degree, professional development program intended to provide opportunities for
university faculty from 15 Balkan and Eurasian countries to develop new courses, implement curriculum reform, and cultivate new teaching skills
and techniques through exposure to U.S. educational methods.

JFDP Fellows are selected through open competitions in Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan,
Macedonia, Moldova, Montenegro, Russia, Serbia, Tajikistan, 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 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.americancouncils.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.
