Fulbright Visiting Scholar awards are offered to experienced Bangladeshi university faculty members and researchers at think-tanks and relevant governmental and non-governmental organizations (with ten years or more professional experience) to pursue research and possibly to lecture. We seek proposals on a wide range of topics in all disciplines with a priority in countering violent extremism, STEM education and university administration.
A few short-term three months grants will also be offered to scholars in all disciplines to conduct needs assessment and research related to institution or program development; consult with administrators and instructors of post-secondary institutions in faculty development; develop and /or assess academic curricula or educational materials.
The Fulbright program is intended for highly motivated scholars with advanced degrees (Ph.D.), or professional equivalency who propose to conduct research and/or teach in the fields of their specialization. Candidates must have excellent English language skills to function professionally in an American university setting.
