Cyprus
Region: Europe and Eurasia

2 FULBRIGHT FULL GRANTS
Language English. Specific projects may require Greek or Turkish language skills in order to use source materials.
Grant duration 9 months, September to May, beginning with an in-country orientation.
Candidate profile Candidates at all degree levels are accepted, but those conducting research for a Ph.D. are preferred. Applications will be considered from well-qualified students in all fields. Interdisciplinary studies and projects in conflict resolution are particularly welcome.
Affiliation Any Cypriot university/organization will be considered as a potential host institution, but prior approval of the Fulbright Commission in Cyprus is required due to issues of political sensitivity. The Cyprus Institute of Neurology and Genetics, the Agricultural Research Institute (ARI), the Cyprus American Archaeological Research Institute (CAARI), the Cyprus Museum, the University of Cyprus, and the University of NicosiaIntercollege have all successfully served as hosts for Fulbright Fellows.
General comments An effort is made to implement grants that involve research in both Turkish Cypriot and Greek Cypriot communities.

2 FULBRIGHT ENGLISH TEACHING ASSISTANTSHIPS
The Fulbright English Teaching Assistantship (ETA) Program aims to strengthen English language and English/American studies instruction at educational institutions in Cyprus by providing a native-speaker presence. English Teaching Assistants assist permanent teaching staff at the public schools, or in universities, between 12 and 16 teaching hours per week. The ETA program placement, and schedule, may vary from one academic year to the next. Grant period 9 months, September to June. Language English is sufficient. Candidate profile Applications from students at all degree levels will be accepted, but strong preference will be given to applicants already possessing a BA degree at the time of application. Master’s level candidates with the initiative, maturity, and self reliance needed to assist in teaching English language and American studies to Greek Cypriot and Turkish Cypriot students in university, high school, and elementary school environments are encouraged to apply, as are applicants with teaching experience.
Affiliation Details of assignments will be subject to communication between the Fulbright Commission in Cyprus, the local educational authorities and the selected universities. Each host institution will tailor the assistantship to its language teaching needs and the grantee’s background, academic interests, and abilities.
General comments In addition to their English Teaching Assistant activities, grantees may enroll in academic courses each semester, if the assignment permits such activity, or engage in independent research related to their fields of study or other activities. These activities, combined with the Teaching Assistant responsibilities, will comprise a full-time program.
