1 FULBRIGHT ENGLISH TEACHING ASSISTANTSHIP Language Knowledge of the Bosnian language is helpful, but not expected.
Grant period 9 months. October to June.
Candidate profile Applications are accepted from candidates at all degree levels, but preference is given to graduate students who are interested in international education and educational advising. Preference will also be given to applicants in the fields of education and the English language, as well as the humanities and social sciences, with a particular focus in American studies. Previous teaching experience is recommended. Applicants must be native English speakers.
Affiliation Placement will be with the University of Banja Luka. Positions combine teaching at least 10 hours per week and educational advising. The educational advising responsibilities will include individual and group advising, and may include outreach. The remaining time will be reserved for an independent study/research project. Applicants should submit detailed descriptions of their study or career interests, together with a feasible project. Details of study or research projects will be subject to direct communication between selected candidates and designated departments. This project should not conflict with assigned teaching and advising responsibilities.
General comments Fulbright students must be extremely adaptable and flexible. Living conditions and infrastructure in Bosnia and Herzegovina are improving. However, students should recognize that the country is still undergoing significant changes and transitions, and that medical care and other services are not up to U.S. or Western standards.
Dependents Bringing dependents is not permitted.
