The Fulbright Scholar-In-Residence (S-I-R)
The Fulbright S-I-R program offers opportunities to non-U.S. visiting scholars from different countries, including Romania, to teach at U.S. colleges and universities for one or both semesters of one academic year. The scholars are expected to contribute to internationalization of the programs and campus, assist with the development of curricula and faculty and support initiatives meant to diversify student and faculty experiences.
The SIR program targets U.S. institutions that might not have a strong international component and belong to one of the following categories: historically Black colleges and universities, Hispanic-serving institutions, tribal colleges, community colleges, small liberal-arts institutions.
The U.S. institutions of higher education intending to invite a Romanian visiting scholar within the SIR program should submit proposals to the Council for International Exchange of Scholars (CIES). The U.S. institutions may either invite specific scholars by name or have CIES recruit scholars from a particular field with the support of Fulbright agencies.
