Collège de France
Visiting Professor Program
The France Chicago Center is accepting nominations
from University of
Chicago faculty members in all disciplines and all departments who wish
to host a visiting faculty member from the Collège de France
for a 1- to 2- week period during the 2007-08 academic
year.
A complete list of the Collège de France faculty
can be viewed by clicking here.
Through a grant by the Florence Gould Foundation,
the France Chicago Center will fund up to two Collège de
France faculty visits in 2007-08, and a similar number in each of
the three academic years that follow. All expenses associated
with the visitor's stay—including round-trip economy-class airfare,
accommodations, living expenses, and an honorarium or research
allowance that will vary according to the length of the stay—will be
covered through this program. Up to $9500 will be made available to
fund each visit.
Neither the nominating faculty member (or faculty
sponsor) nor the affiliated department need contribute financially to
the visit, but they are expected to share administrative
responsibilities (letter of invitation, appointment paperwork), welcome
the visitor, and integrate him or her into the academic life of the
department.
A complete nomination proposal includes the
following:
- a signed and dated nomination cover sheet
- a one- or two-page statement summarizing
elements of the proposed visit
- the CV of the proposed visitor
Additional
Information:
The deadline for submitting a proposal for 2007-8 is January 15, 2007.
Lectures given under the auspices of this program will count toward the
visitor's regular teaching load at the Collège de France,
and will be listed in the Collège's catalog as a
"course taught abroad."
Selection will be made on the following criteria: 1) the structure of
the proposed visit as described in the narrative, with particular
attention to the contexts in which the visitor will engage faculty and
students; 2) the potential depth and breadth of interest generated by
the proposed
course; 3) the level of support that the proposal enjoys from one or
more departments; 4) that there be a balance among the disciplines
represented
by the visitors in any given year, and that a rough disciplinary
balance be maintained
over the life of
this program.
All nominations will be reviewed by the France Chicago Center Faculty
Advisory Committee in February 2007. FCC will submit to the
Collège de
France a list of candidates that it wishes to host. Final
decisions will be reached by the Collège
de France in
consultation with the France Chicago Center. Results will be
announce in April of 2007.
