The Fulbright-Garcia Robles Postdoctoral Scholar Award is to support postdoctoral fellows undertaking original research, working to publish research findings, developing and expanding personal research networks, and preparing for research-intensive careers, especially within academia. As teaching experience can also be included in professional development, this grant allows a Research/Teaching mix, not to exceed a 30 percent teaching to 70 percent research ratio. Applicants for a combined project are required to indicate the proposed ratio of teaching to research in their project statement. Projects in medical sciences that do not include patient contact will be considered. Candidates are only considered eligible for a postdoctoral stay if they received their PhD within five years of the Fulbright award start date. Selected candidates must submit proof of PhD completion prior to award acceptance. This will be awarded to Early Career Academics with a PhD or other terminal degree. Applicants may propose an appropriate host in Mexico. Applicants are required to have an intermediate Spanish language proficiency. Applicants must register to a qualified language evaluator, such as a language instructor or a translator, to conduct the external assessment in the application. The level of Spanish language proficiency must be commensurate with the requirements of the project. A higher level of Spanish may be required for some projects. A letter of invitation from a qualified Mexican university, accredited institution, research facility or government agency is required at the time of application close date. Two letters of recommendation are also required. Please visit the award's website or contact the Council for International Exchange of Scholars for more information.
