Description
This Fulbright Scholar award supports teaching and teaching/research at designated universities in Tanzania across all disciplines. Scholars collaborate with host faculty, conduct research in their specialization, teach undergraduate and graduate courses, mentor and supervise students, and assist with faculty, curriculum, or program development. Teaching and research normally receive equal time, with adjustments based on host institution needs.
Managed in Tanzania by the Public Affairs Section of the U.S. Embassy in Dar es Salaam, the program seeks to improve university instruction and build lasting collaborations between Tanzanian and U.S. universities. Scholars may also deliver workshops and public lectures, participate in professional exchanges, provide unpaid consulting, and contribute to institutional capacity-building and community engagement.
