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.
