The Fulbright-Uppsala University Distinguished Scholar Award in American Studies will be given to give recipients the opportunity to teach one introductory course for undergraduates, as well as a more specialized course for senior or graduate students (or both) in the scholar's area of expertise. The Distinguished Scholar will also give an inaugural lecture during the year. Opportunities to give lectures at other Swedish universities and outside Sweden will be available and are encouraged. The Distinguished Scholar may also participate in collaborative research with the department faculty or on their own project. Proposed subject matter must relate to the field of American studies. Interested applicants may contact the Commission with any questions or regarding proposed fields that are not listed. Several years of teaching at the undergraduate and graduate level and a solid scholarly publication record are required. An invitation letter should not be sought. The host institution will first review applications, after which recommendations will be submitted to the Commission Board for approval. All applicants must submit two recommendation letters. Letters should be from those who know the applicant and the applicant's work well. Please visit the award's website or contact the Council for International Exchange of Scholars for more information.
