Description
This Fulbright U.S. Scholar award supports teaching or combined teaching and research at appropriate institutions in North Macedonia. The Fulbright Scholar Program is sponsored by the U.S. government through the Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs. Projects should strengthen North Macedonia’s ability to confront transnational criminal networks, protect borders, and uphold international law. Preferred specializations include organized crime, human trafficking, illicit narcotics, fraud, cyber-enabled crime, and misuse of emerging technologies.
Scholars teach approximately two undergraduate or graduate courses per semester and assist with curriculum and junior faculty development. Activities may also include student mentoring, academic program development, host-designated or scholar-designed research, and professional or artistic projects. Scholars may be asked to give public talks and engage with the host community to advance international understanding and cooperation.
