The Fulbright Commission in Chile is pleased to announce that the University of St. Francis is seeking to bring a scholar from Chile as a visiting professor under the Scholar– In – Residence, S-I-R program, for the 2014 – 2015 academic year (beginning on August 2014 and ending on May 2015) in the discipline of psychology. Interested scholars should send an application form (attached) and a CV to becas@fulbright.cl no later than Friday, December 6, 2013. University of St. Francis Joliet, ILLINOIS. EE.UU.

An important objective at St. Francis Joliet is the development of interdisciplinary courses and programs. Specifically, USF is working to expand its offerings, such as the SIR program, in the psychology department to provide more interdisciplinary courses to better prepare undergraduates for careers in an ever-changing 21st century world.

The second key goal of our 2011-2016 strategic plan is to further develop connections to and partnerships with the growing and vibrant Hispanic/Latino population in our region. Thus, we are requesting a Spanish-speaking Scholar from a country in the Americas; specifically Argentina or Chile. A scholar whose expertise is in the area of cognitive and behavioral neuroscience or cognitive psychology (with a background in brain-based learning) will help to lay the foundation for bringing this discipline to the forefront at USF.

All information must be completed in English. Please attach your CV to the application form as well as your personal statement and please submit your application form by December 6, 2013 to becas@fulbright.cl
