Offered by Council for International Exchange of Scholars
The Fulbright Distinguished Scholar Awards (Interdisciplinary Network) are open to Ph.D. and Terminal Degree holders interested in conducting research relevant to any of five Brazilian partner universities countrywide. These include the Universidade Federal da Bahia (UFBA), the Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG), the Universidade Federal do Para (UFPA), the Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC), and the Universidade de Brasilia (UnB).
During their time in Brazil, these Distinguished Scholars will be expected to engage with students, faculty, and the broader community. Scholars can conduct their own research, work collaboratively with Brazilian colleagues, guest-lecture, mentor students, network, and promote their research while representing the United States, the Fulbright Program, and their home and partner universities. The applicant must select one partner university and indicate their choice in the application form. If selected, the scholar will develop their work at the chosen partner university and be granted the opportunity to join the Fulbright Interdisciplinary Network (FIN). If you hold a doctoral or terminal degree and wish to conduct research in Brazil, we encourage you to apply! Keep on reading to learn more.
