The Fulbright U.S. Scholar Program
The Fulbright U.S. Scholar Program is designed for American academics and professionals interested to teach and/or conduct research in Romania in a wide variety of academic and professional fields. The Commission accepts proposals in all disciplines. An invitation letter is recommended but not required.
In addition to being a prestigious academic exchange program, the Fulbright Program is designed to expand and strengthen relationships between the people of the United States and citizens of other nations and to promote international understanding and cooperation. To support this mission, Fulbright Scholars will be asked to give public talks, mentor students, and otherwise engage with the host community, in addition to their primary activities.
Length of grant: Four to nine months (nine months preferred).
Grant dates: One-semester grants may begin in October or February; two-semester grants must begin in October.
Degree requirements: PhD (or equivalent terminal degree) required.
Language requirements: All teaching will be in English; proficiency in another language is not required.
For research, language proficiency sufficient to complete the proposed project is required. For applicants without local language proficiency, feasibility of conducting the project must be demonstrated in the project statement.
