Council for International Exchange of Scholars

Core Fulbright Scholar Program

Deadline: August 2, 2010

The Fulbright Scholar Program and Fulbright Humphrey Fellowship Program are administered by the Institute of International Education's Department of Scholar and Professional Programs, which includes the Council for International Exchange of Scholars and Humphrey divisions. The Core Fulbright Scholar Program offers 25 awards in teaching, research or combined teaching/research in agriculture, including a Fulbright Distinguished Chair in 2011-2012. Faculty and professionals in agriculture also can apply for one of the 175 "All Discipline" awards open to all fields in 2011-2012 or for short-term grant opportunities through the Fulbright Specialist Program.

What does Fulbright offer in agriculture? Here are a few of the awards for 2011-2012:

Asia: Opportunities in agriculture are available in Cambodia, India, the Philippines and Vietnam.

South America: Argentina and Uruguay offer a joint award in environmental sciences and other opportunities for specialists in agriculture. In Chile, specialists in agriculture are encouraged to apply for the science and technology award.

Benin: Agricultural Economics (http://catalog.cies.org/viewAward.aspx?n=1003) - This award offers francophone agricultural specialists the opportunity to teach and conduct research in their area of specialization.

Mauritius: Food Safety or Turf Grass Production and Landscaping (http://catalog.cies.org/viewAward.aspx?n=1037) - The changing socio-economic pattern of Mauritius has led to a demand of agricultural development and its related industries which requires well-trained agricultural scientists, who have the technical and practical skills, to meet these new challenges.

Russia: Science and Innovation Award - Grantees will have an opportunity to lecture/research at a leading Russian university or research institute, including one of the 14 newly created federal research institutions.

The application deadline for the Core Fulbright Scholar Program is August 2, 2010. U.S. citizenship is required.
