Description
The Fulbright-García Robles Postdoctoral Scholar Award supports original research in Mexico, publication of findings, development of research networks, and preparation for research-intensive careers, especially in academia. COMEXUS, the U.S.-Mexico Commission for Educational and Cultural Exchange, manages the award in Mexico. Projects may be proposed by the applicant or designated by the host institution and may combine research with limited teaching.
Projects are sought across disciplines. COMEXUS particularly welcomes work relevant to U.S.-Mexico relations, including culture, economic integration, society and politics, trade policy, supply chains, security, education, and public health. Priorities also include STEM research and teaching and arts projects that strengthen dialogue between U.S. and Mexican art communities. The exchange promotes international understanding through engagement with host institutions and communities.
