The GEC Faculty Fellow works toward the internationalizing of Elon's campus.  Particulars of the position:

• The position would be nine months yearly, typically for two years with a possible extension for another two years.

4. Serving on both the GEC Advisory Committee and the Study Abroad Committee.
5. Mentoring faculty in developing proposals for short-term faculty-led programs.

Proposals

Proposals should include the candidate’s CV plus a one-page description of how the candidate’s experience and interests align with the position.  Proposals will be reviewed by a subcommittee of the GEC Advisory Committee.  Finalists will be invited for an interview.   This group will make a recommendation to the Provost, who will appoint the Fellow. 

Applicants must be full-time faculty.   Criteria considered will be experience in leading study abroad groups, other scholarship or experiences abroad, and demonstrated interest in the internationalizing of Elon.
