Faculty Exchange Programs FIG oversees a short-term faculty exchange program with the École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales (EHESS) and the Institut d’Études Politiques (Sciences Po). EHESS supports research in all the social sciences, including cultural studies and history, with a slight emphasis on historical and anthropological research. Sciences Po supports research in all the social sciences, with a slight emphasis on political science and policy studies generally. The exchange program enables one or two NU faculty to visit EHESS or Sciences Po annually, and one or two faculty of each of the partner schools to visit NU. By the terms of our agreement, Northwestern faculty receive a stipend of about 3000 euros ($3500) for a one-month stay. The duties attached to this offer are negotiable, but typically include presenting one’s research in faculty and graduate seminars and colloquia, and/or directing one or several sessions of one or more graduate seminars. The visit must take place during a non-teaching quarter, but otherwise the timing of the visit is negotiable. French language abilities are appreciated, but not obligatory. Both EHESS and Sciences Po can help faculty find housing in Paris. Visiting faculty are responsible for the cost of housing (which can vary from 500 to 2000 euros for a one-month stay). FIG will contribute up to $800 toward air fare. Interested candidates should apply to FIG. FIG will gather the applications and forward them to the partner schools, which will make the final selection. Preference will be given to candidates who can explain how their visit will advance our partnerships by, for example, creating some form of joint research collaboration, or some form of joint graduate student training program, etc. Applicants should also describe current research, supply a vita, and, if possible (though this is not obligatory), mention faculty with whom they have worked or would like to work. Ideally, faculty collaborators will return the visit at NU. For more information, contact Michael Loriaux, at m-loriaux@northwestern.edu, or Bachir Diagne, at s-diagne@northwestern.edu. For information on EHESS, see website at http://www.ehess.fr/html/html/index.html. Proceed to “centres de recherche.” For information on Sciences Po, see website at http://www.sciences-po.fr/. Proceed to “la recherche à Sciences Po” for an overview of its nine research centers. The deadline for applications is February 15. Applications should be sent to the Co-Directors of FIG, Michael Loriaux, m-loriaux@northwestern.edu, and Bachir Diagne, Decisions will be made in early March. Note that participation in this exchange does not constitute leave. It does not free faculty from teaching and service obligations at Northwestern, and can only be scheduled during a non-teaching quarter.
