Deadlines All Application with all Materials Notification Application for Spring 2017 January 30, 2016 March 1, 2016

As a pilot program, the Office of Global Programs will sponsor one full-time New York faculty member each semester to be a Global Faculty Fellow at one of NYU's academic centers abroad. The purpose of the program is to provide an opportunity for faculty to help develop new academic programs, enhance our global connections and/or provide sites with course offerings by New York faculty members.

Semester assignments are determined by a variety of factors including faculty qualifications, school and department academic priorities, pathway facilitation and plans for deepening school and departmental engagement with the site. Additional contributing factors are local laws, site availability and site resources.

This application form is for faculty participation in the pilot Global Faculty Fellows program at the sites. Faculty leading student trips to the sites or wishing to teach at the degree-granting portal campuses (NYU Abu Dhabi and NYU Shanghai) should consult directly with their department/school. Faculty seeking support for research-related activities at the sites under the auspices of the Global Research Initiatives program can find application forms here. Faculty interested in a short term visit to a global site can find information here.

Eligibility All New York- based full-time faculty from all schools in any academic discipline represented at the University are eligible. Faculty with administrative titles are not eligible to apply for the duration of their administrative appointment.

Preference will be given to faculty whose home school or department has an emerging or an established academic relationship with the requested site.

Responsibilities of the Global Faculty Fellow* • Teach at least one class (if appropriate/relevant)• Develop programmatic initiatives, including new course offerings or academic pathways• Give one public lecture in area of expertise• Join the Site-Specific Academic Committee (SSAC) for the site (for only the duration of the

assignment)• Hold regular office hours and advising hours during add-drop, in lead-up to registration and as

Global Programs*Note that local laws may affect the expectations of faculty at specific sites.

The Selection Committee The selection committee is comprised of four members: two faculty who sit on different Site Specific Academic Committees, a local faculty member from one of the sites, and a Site Director from a different site. A representative from the Office of Global Programs will assist in an administrative capacity.
