Call for Applications from U.S. Host Institutions 2001-2002 Academic Year American Councils for International Education ACTR/ACCELS Junior Faculty Development Program (JFDP) Application deadline April 15, 2001 The Junior Faculty Development Program (JFDP) brings university faculty to the United States from the Newly Independent States (NIS) for a one-year fellowship. 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. 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. Visit the JFDP website at www.actr.org/jfdp to learn more information and to download an application to host Fellows, or write to jfdp@actr.org to request an application.
