The Junior Faculty Development Program provides university instructors with a semester-long opportunity to expand their knowledge and expertise in their academic field by attending classes and working with faculty members at universities in the United States. The program is fully-funded by the US Department of State. Individuals may apply for fields in the humanities and social sciences.

The competition is open to citizens from Albania, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kosovo, Kyrgyzstan, Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia, Tajikistan, and Turkmenistan.

To qualify for a JFDP Fellowship, an applicant must:

* hold a university degree;
* be currently teaching at an institution of higher education;
* have at least two years of teaching experience at an institution of higher education; and,

Each JFDP Fellow will spend a total of five (5) months (January-May 2013) in the United States.
