Description
Fulbright Austria and the Botstiber Institute for Austrian-American Studies jointly offer this visiting professorship, funded by the Botstiber Foundation. The award supports a flexible combination of teaching, student advising, collaborative research, and institutional cooperation in Austria. Scholars teach one or more advanced undergraduate or graduate courses, with each class meeting weekly for 90 minutes. Course content, level, associated activities, and research focus are agreed with the host institution.
Projects must advance understanding of the historical relationship between Austria and the United States and align with the institute’s bilateral mission. Priority fields include history, the social sciences, economics, and law. Literature, music, the arts, and other relevant disciplines are also welcome. Projects may develop new institutional relationships or strengthen existing ones while connecting students with visiting scholars.
