JUNIOR FACULTY DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM
Program of the US Department of State Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs
Administered by American Councils
General description of the program:
The Junior Faculty Development Program (JFDP) provides university faculty in the early stages of their careers with strong potential for leadership in their disciplines opportunities to upgrade their knowledge of the subjects they teach and to maintain on-going contacts between their home and host institutions. Eligible candidates should be citizens of Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Kosovo, Macedonia, Montenegro, and Serbia, should currently teach at a higher educational institution in their home country, have good proficiency of the English language, possess a university degree, and have two years of teaching experience in an institution of higher education.
The JFDP affiliates the finalists with U.S. colleges and universities for a fully funded one-semester, non-degree program in the humanities and social science fields to gain an in-depth perspective on their fields of study and to acquire understanding of the U.S. educational system. Participants also teach a course or give lectures where possible. Recruitment, selection and placement are administered through a cooperative agreement with the American Councils for International Education: ACTR/ACCELS, except for Uzbekistan, where the Public Affairs Section of the U.S. Embassy coordinates and implements the program.
