Alliance Visiting Professorship – Columbia University / Sciences Po 2013-2014

ONE SEMESTER IN PARIS OR IN NEW YORK

CALL FOR APPLICATIONS 2013-2014
Deadline: June 30, 2012

Columbia University, Ecole Polytechnique, Sciences Po and Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne have expanded their long-term academic collaboration with annual transatlantic faculty exchange programs. This collaboration is one of many organized by the Alliance Program. The Alliance Visiting Professorship aims to foster research linkages among the faculty and to increase the range of educational experiences available to students in the participating institutions.

Faculty Exchanges

The Alliance Program is pleased to announce the opening of one call for visiting professorship with Sciences Po, one of its partner institutions. In the academic year 2013-2014, two positions will be offered:

One member of the Columbia faculty will spend one semester as a visiting professor at Sciences Po, and one member of the Sciences Po faculty will spend one semester as a visiting professor at Columbia University.

Conditions

Applicants must be current members of the faculty of either Columbia University of Sciences Po. For members of the Columbia faculty, the visiting professorship program is open to full-time officers of instruction of professorial rank. Professors on sabbatical or on leave will be preferred to participate in this exchange.

Alliance Visiting Professors continue to receive their salary from their home institution, when applicable. A stipend is available to help defray cost of the visit. The stipend varies according to the seniority of the faculty member. Please note that, for the visiting professorship in France, by French law, faculty members above the age of 65 years-old are not eligible to the stipend.

Alliance Visiting Professors are expected to teach one full course (14 two-hour sessions per semester/4 months) at the host institution. They are also expected to deliver two academic lectures or seminar presentations, and to attend two dinners or events hosted by the Alliance Program.

Application

Applications should include a CV, a one-page statement of interest, a selection of proposed courses and the preferred term for residence at the partner institution.

Inquiries and applications should be sent electronically to Ms. Lauranne Bardin, lb2808@columbia.edu, by June 30, 2012.
