Fulbright Scholar Program Announces New Senior Specialist Program
Deadline: Rolling
Sponsored by the U.S. Department of State, the Fulbright Scholar Program sends
leading U.S. faculty and professionals around the world to teach and do research for terms
ranging from three months to an academic year. The program has recently added the
Fulbright Senior Specialist Program in order to increase the number of leading U.S.
scholars in Fulbright academic exchanges, encourage new activities that go beyond the
traditional Fulbright activities of lecturing and research, and promote increased
connections between U.S. and overseas academic institutions in the Fulbright context.
The Senior Specialist Program will provide short-term opportunities of from two
to six weeks for U.S. faculty and professionals to work and do research abroad. Funds may
be used to support a variety of activities, including conducting teacher training,
developing and/or assessing curricula or educational materials, leading or participating
in seminars or workshops, taking part in specialized academic programs or conferences,
conducting needs assessments/surveys/research, and/or providing other assistance an
overseas host institution might identify.
Applications will be accepted for Fulbright Senior Specialists in the following fields:
- Anthropology and Archaeology
- Business Administration
- Communications and Journalism
- Economics
- Education
- Environmental Science
- Information Technology

- Law
- Library Science
- Political Science and Public Administration
- Sociology and Social Work
- U.S. Studies (i.e. Art, Art History, Dance, History, Literature, Music, Popular Culture,
and Theater)
- Urban Planning
