Up to 49 grants are available in the 2013-14 Fulbright U.S. Scholar
Program competition for U.S. academics, professionals, and early and
mid-career researchers to teach and/or conduct research in Brazil.
Emerging
from the "Education Partnership for the 21st Century," the governments
of the United States and Brazil, through the U.S.-Brazil Fulbright
Commission, have expanded teaching and research exchange opportunities
for mid-career researchers and senior faculty in the United States in
the areas of science, technology, and innovation through the new
Fulbright-Science Without Borders Core and Distinguished Chair awards.
U.S. scholars will be affiliated with top Brazilian universities and
research centers in their areas of specialization, fostering increased
cooperation and institutional collaboration between applied researchers
in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics
(STEM). Proficiency in Portuguese or Spanish is not required for
Fulbright-Science Without Borders applicants.
A new
Postdoctoral Research Award designed for early career candidates from
any discipline of study will allow scholars to conduct research in
support of their professional development while advancing the scholarly
mission of the hosting institution.
Other opportunities for
U.S. academics and professionals include a Social Sciences and
Humanities award, as well as four Distinguished Chair awards in the
following fields: American studies, environmental sciences and
engineering, oil and gas sciences and engineering, and visual arts.
