International Scholars Fellowship Program in Humanities and Social Sciences 2011

/ February 17, 2011 Leave a Comment

The International Scholars Fellowship Program selects highly qualified scholars in the social sciences and humanities to assist Academic Fellowship Program partner departments where Returning Scholars are placed.  The International Scholars advise on the overall reform agenda of the departments and share the latest developments in the respective disciplines, and beyond, with departmental colleagues; collaborate on the introduction of new courses; and encourage the development of skills that are crucial for academic success. One of the greatest, and most needed, contributions that International Scholars make is the expert advice they offer on curriculum development and academic planning.
The competition is merit-based, and priority is given to individuals who most closely match the profile of an “ideal” candidate. Specific eligibility factors include the following:
•A PhD (or equivalent highest degree awarded in the field) in an academic discipline from the list above. Applicants for this program must be senior or well-established academics currently employed by an institution of higher education, or remaining closely associated and still active in teaching and research at a university; recent degree recipients will not be considered.
•Extensive experience in scholarly research and teaching. The successful candidate will show proficiency in innovative teaching methodologies specific for the discipline, and a strong commitment to high-quality teaching.
The program accepts applications for placements in Albania, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Croatia, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kosovo, Kyrgyzstan, Macedonia, Moldova, Mongolia, Montenegro, Russia, Serbia, Tajikistan, and Ukraine.

•Ability to help compose the year’s plan for departmental reform, evaluate needs, and determine how their expertise can most benefit the department. Before final placement, the program and the partner department work with the International Scholar to design a work plan that is both rewarding and feasible for the fellows and of greatest help to the department. The plan must include long-distance mentoring that bridges the time between short departmental visits.

By assisting research partners in establishing sustainable cooperation, the French government aims at facilitating the integration of South African think tanks into French, European and francophone African scientific networks.

The 2010 edition of the programme has allowed several South African senior researchers to conduct joint projects with research institutes based in France. In view of the interest expressed in the programme by partner institutions, the French government is pleased to open applications for 2011.
The French government is offering five fellowships allowing successful applicants to undertake a joint research project of a duration of up to ten weeks in collaboration with a French research institute. Fellowships include a 2000€ monthly allowance, a roundtrip airflight ticket, visa fees and full medical and social insurance.

Requirement
Applicants must hold a doctoral degree and have experience in programme/project management coupled with a substantial publication record. Applications from researchers with a Master’s qualification, having an extensive publication record and relevant experience, will also be considered.
