Ambassador's Distinguished Scholars Programs, Ethiopia
IIE is pleased to announce that applications are now being accepted for the Ambassador’s Distinguished Scholars Program in Ethiopia.
The Ambassador's Distinguished Scholars Program offers a unique opportunity for a diverse set of qualified academics to advance scholarship in Ethiopia as full-time teaching faculty members at Ethiopian institutions of higher education. The aim of the program is to strengthen Ethiopian universities' capacity to teach and manage undergraduate and graduate programs and enhance research capacity within Ethiopian universities.
The current round of applications seeks scholars to work in Ethiopia from August 2019 until June 2020, with placements possible in a variety of disciplines at one of four Ethiopian institutions: Bahir Dar University, the University of Gondar, Haramaya University, and Mekelle University. Program benefits include, but are not limited to, a monthly stipend, housing allowance, medical insurance and airfare for the grantee and a dependent. IIE’s office in Ethiopia will support the grantees.
The application deadline is February 28, 2019. For more information, please visit iie.org/adsp or write to ADScholars@iie.org.
