Applications Open for Faculty Mobility Fellowships
Deadline Expired on March 8, 2024
OSUN invites applications from OSUN faculty for a variety of fellowships with a strong preference given to applicants from under-resourced OSUN institutions and to Global South-South or Global South-North mobility.Faculty at OSUN institutions that participate in OSUN courses, pedagogy programs, and other core integrative programs can apply for the following fellowships:
(1) Junior Faculty Development Fellowships, which allow faculty at under-resourced OSUN institutions to spend a semester or full academic year at an OSUN host institution; (2) Visiting Faculty Fellowships, which expand course offerings, teaching capacity, and knowledge exchange at OSUN institutions on different continents; (3) Short-Term Visiting Faculty Fellowships, which allow faculty to guest teach or co-teach intensive 1- 3-week modules that are integrated into courses taught at the host institution; (4) Replacement Support Fellowships, which supplement or replace faculty on leave or on sabbatical with faculty from other OSUN institutions; and (5) OSUN Sabbaticals which support semester- or year-long placements of faculty on sabbatical at an OSUN partner institution.
The OSUN Faculty Mobility Program is designed to strengthen bonds throughout the network and spur collaboration on teaching, course design, curriculum development, scholarship, research, and civic engagement. These collaborations foster academic integration, which expands opportunities for students, faculty and institutions so they can more fully engage diverse global perspectives.
Semester-Long Fellowships
Applications for Junior Faculty Development, Visiting Faculty, Replacement Support, and Sabbatical Fellowships are now open.
Refer to the full call for applications to learn about the proposed collaborations strongly preferred by OSUN.
Short-Term Fellowships
Short-term (1-3 week) fellowships help further develop OSUN Network Collaborative Courses, for example by allowing NCC faculty to co-teach in person or create new collaborations to advance curricular integration on OSUN’s academic themes, expand course offerings, diversify course content, and/or improve teaching capacity.
