Description

Host institutions welcome scholars to teach undergraduate or graduate level courses or carry out a combination of teaching and research activities. For proposals that include a teaching component, applicants should suggest courses for consideration in their proposal based on their expertise and experience. Applicants should expect to teach 6 to 10 hours per week. Activities and courses will be finalized in consultation with the U.S. Embassy and host institution. Researchers will be expected to teach at minimum 4 to 6 hours per week each semester. Algeria can be a very rewarding teaching experience for motivated, flexible, and adventurous scholars. For proposals that carry out a combination of teaching and research activities, there are no requirements for a teaching/research ratio as this depends on the interests of the scholar and agreement of the host institution, though research only grants are not possible. Algeria has hundreds of universities across the country. U.S. Embassy Algiers will work with the scholar and the Ministry to determine an appropriate university. Applicants do not need a letter from an affiliate institution in order to apply. Applicants in all disciplines are invited to apply for teaching or teaching and research awards at universities and specialized institutes. The award is open to early career academics, mid-career academics, and senior academics. PhD (or other terminal degree) is required. Applicants should be knowledgeable of global issues, resourceful, and flexible. They must be understanding and respectful of cultural nuances as well as security realities. They must demonstrate the initiative, leadership, and confidence required to advance the teaching of their subject in a foreign setting. An invitation letter is optional. It is recommended that the applicants be a novice in Arabic and French languages. All applicants must submit two recommendation letters. Letters should be from those who know the applicant and the applicant's work well.
