Richmond Summer Visiting Faculty Fellowship in Rome

The American Institute for Study Abroad invites TU faculty to apply for the Richmond Summer Visiting Faculty Fellowship in Rome, Italy this summer from Jun 5-16, 2017. The campus is on Piazza Sant’ Andrea della Valle, a few steps away from Piazza Navona, Campo de’ Fiori and the Pantheon.

The fellowships are designed to:

  • strengthen the relationship between the university and its partners
  • enhance faculty research and perhaps drive collaborative work in this area
  • strengthen best practice in teaching

The non-stipendiary Fellowships will provide Visiting Fellows with room and board in an apartment nearby the university’s Rome campus for up to two weeks.* Rooming will consist of double room/single options with bedding in a shared apartment with a fully equipped kitchen and bathroom(s). Pre-paid vouchers will be provided to subsidize meal costs to the value of 30€ per day although you are free to cook in your apartments.

Where possible Visiting Fellows may be asked to give a guest lecture in at leaaifs-rome-faculty-fellowship-picturest one summer class gratis and will be required to attend a one-day informal symposium (June 16) with other successful Visiting Fellows and Richmond faculty to discuss their research. Visiting Fellows are also asked to acknowledge The American Institute for Foreign Study (AIFS) and Richmond the American International University in London (RAIUL) in any publications which derive from the fellowship and to provide the university with a copy of said publication.

Applications for the fellowships are competitive and to be submitted by email to the Dean of International Programmes (alessid@richmond.ac.uk) by midnight on December 1, 2016. The application should consist of a CV and short 500-1000 word explanation of the proposed nature of the research project or desired pedagogical learning outcome. Candidates will be selected by a committee led by Richmond’s Associate Dean for Research in conjunction with the Dean of International Programmes (London) and the Dean of Richmond (Rome).

 

 

*Every effort will be made to allow a Visiting Fellows’ partner to accompany him/her subject to space considerations. While accommodation will be free for the partner s/he will have to pay for their meals.
