*2010 Teaching Fellowship Program for Eurasian and Eastern European Studies*
IREX is pleased to announce its *2010 Teaching Fellowship Program for
Eurasian and Eastern European Studies*, a program designed by IREX to
expand the field of Eurasian and Eastern European area studies to
accredited Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and
Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs) throughout the United States.
The program will award *individual fellowships of up to $12,000* *to*
*current adjunct or full-time professors* to develop and teach an
introductory course in this field at a local HBCU or HSI for an academic
semester (fall 2010 and/or spring 2011) with the possibility of
receiving additional funding for a follow-on course during the second
semester. Additionally, the Teaching Fellow will liaise directly with
administrators of his/her home institution and the HBCU/HSI to develop a
sustainable institutional partnership.
The primary goal of the program is to broaden and diversify the field of
area studies by introducing Eurasian and/or Eastern European courses on
the home campuses of local HBCUs and HSIs that traditionally have not
had the resources to offer such coursework. Students who enroll in these
courses will ultimately be encouraged to continue their studies and
pursue careers in this field.

*Eligible candidates* will be required to:
a) Be U.S. citizens or permanent residents;
b) Be current adjunct or full-time professors **
