Faculty Mobility

Applications Open for Faculty Mobility Fellowships

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.

How To Apply for Fellowships
In order to submit an application you must first register on the OSUN Portal. If you have already registered you will not need to do so again.

What OSUN Covers
Semester-long fellowships: OSUN will pay travel expenses including visa fee. Any salary or housing allowance paid by OSUN will be decided in consultation with the successful applicant’s home and host institutions. Salary will not exceed the amount paid to the host institution’s faculty and will be disbursed through the host institution according to its policies and procedures.

Short-term fellowships: OSUN will pay the travel expenses, lodging, and per diem as per Bard/OSUN Travel Policy. Funds will be disbursed through the successful applicant’s home institution.

Applicants will be informed of final decisions by May 2024.
