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=962004 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.=20

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:

The JFDP Web-site offers a fully online application and an option to
download the printable application.  Printed applications may be faxed
