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

The Junior Faculty Development Program (JFDP) brings university faculty
from the Newly Independent States (NIS) to the United States for a
one-year professional development program.  JFDP Fellows are selected
through open competitions in Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Kazakhstan,
Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Russia, Turkmenistan, Ukraine and Uzbekistan.  The
fellowship consists of non-degree study in the Humanities and Social
Sciences, 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 and links
between their host and home universities.  Fellows fulfill these goals by
informally auditing and observing courses, working with faculty in hosting
departments, networking, attending conferences, and teaching (if circumstance
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.

All interested faculty, departments, research centers and university
offices are welcome to apply.  The JFDP office has extended its deadline,
and is accepting applications through April 20, 2001. To receive more
information and an application, contact Denise Ifkovic at 202-833-7522 or
at JFDP at actr.org.  An application may also be downloaded at
