USA: Fulbright Visiting Scholar Program Competition 2010-2011 for Republic of Serbia

Overview

The Embassy of the United States of America in Serbia is pleased to announce the Fulbright Visiting Scholar Program competition during the 2010-2011 academic year. The Fulbright Visiting Scholar Program is a non-degree post-doctoral award program for junior and senior researchers, university lecturers and experts from academic institutions in Serbia. This program brings scholars to the United States for advanced research and/or university lecturing.

All applicants must currently be affiliated with one of the universities in Serbia. Special preference will be given to candidates who have the capacity and commitment to take full advantage of a program of research or lecturing at a U.S. university, and who are willing to share their experience and knowledge after returning to Serbia. The Fulbright experience should be of value not only to the scholar, but also to the scholar’s home university – its students and faculty – as well as to the host U.S. institution. Fulbright scholars serve as cultural ambassadors and should be prepared to speak about their country, culture, and research to academic and community groups.
