Description
This Fulbright Scholar award supports teaching, research, or a combination of both at Babeș-Bolyai University in Cluj-Napoca, Romania. Administered in Romania by the Romanian-U.S. Fulbright Commission, it welcomes projects in all disciplines. Scholars may teach undergraduate or graduate courses, pursue research proposed by themselves or the host institution, advise and mentor students, and contribute to faculty, curriculum, or program development.
The exchange aims to strengthen relationships between people in the United States and Romania and promote international understanding and cooperation. Alongside their primary academic work, scholars may be asked to give public talks and engage with the host community. Teaching projects involve up to two courses per semester, with a 50% reduction in teaching load for projects combining teaching and research.
