[ams-announce-admin at list.bowdoin.edu]

The Fulbright Senior Specialists Program (FSSP) seeks highly 
qualified individuals, with a keen interest in strengthening global 
understanding through higher education initiatives, to apply to our 
roster of Senior Specialists.

The grant program, currently in its seventh year, provides 
opportunities for short-term grants of 2 to 6 weeks to more than 153 
countries worldwide. Experienced U.S. faculty and professionals, in 
select disciplines and specializations, apply for admission to the 
Specialists roster. Applicants recommended by independent specialist 
peer review committees and approved by the J. William Fulbright 
Foreign Scholarship Board (FSB) become candidates for Fulbright 
Senior Specialists awards and remain on the roster for five 
years.  Specialists candidates may then be matched with approved 
project requests developed by academic institutions overseas.  This 
may be an opportunity for specialists to collaborate with existing 
contacts and further develop institutional linkages.

Applicants with a strong record of scholarship and practical 
experience are highly preferred. It is important to note that limits 
apply to previous Fulbright scholars. Please visit the CIES Web site 
and carefully review the eligibility guidelines.

For American Studies, applicant's multidisciplinary credentials must 
strongly reflect a background of either an American Studies or a 
comparative American Studies focus;a combination of teaching, 
research and study from a historical and/or cultural context. For 
performing and visual artists, performance and/or work must be 
directly or comparatively linked to American studies.

Applications are accepted on a rolling basis.  For program details,
