The visiting lecturer fellowships for
four months are designed for Indian faculty, researchers and
professionals from all disciplines. Priority fields are:
Agricultural Sciences; Economics; Education; Energy, Sustainable
Development and Climate Change; Environment; International Relations;
Management and Leadership Development; Media and Communications with
focus on Public Service Broadcasting; Public Administration; Public
Health; Science and Technology; Study of India with focus on
contemporary issues; and Study of the United States. For Study of India
or the Study of the United States (American Studies) the areas could
include: language and literature, history, government, economics,
society and culture, religion, and film studies.
A comparative or cross cultural
perspective is encouraged. Indian academics and professionals contribute
to internationalization of the curriculum at their US host institutions
and understanding of recent developments in India. The recipient will be
affiliated as a visiting scholar at a U.S. college, university or
research institution, and will teach courses (individually or
team-teach), or offer a series of seminars at the U.S. host institution.
Applicants should be familiar with the
U.S. educational system. Although USIEF does not require applicants to
have a letter of affiliation from a U.S. institution at the time of
applying, it encourages that all applicants correspond, in advance, with
potential host institutions. If you are selected for an award but are
unable to arrange an affiliation or name an institution in the US with
which you would want to be affiliated, USIEF will help secure placement.
