This competition has been closed.
May 3, 2007
The Embassy is currently accepting applications for candidates to participate in the Fulbright Visiting Specialists Program: Direct Access to the Muslim World. This program enables outstanding scholars and practitioners from the Muslim World to spend 3-6 weeks at a U.S. college lecturing and conducting public outreach on topics related to Islamic society and civilization.
Fulbright Visiting Specialists are fluent in English and usually hold Ph.D.s or have equivalent experience in their field (social sciences or humanities preferred). They are not necessarily Muslim by religion, but they possess expert knowledge on Islamic faith, culture, society, and/or geographic areas with significant Muslim representation.
The deadline for applications is MAY 15, 2007.
