Description:
The American University in Cairo (AUC) is pleased to announce the continuation of its program of Core Teaching Fellowships, intended for recent PhD graduates. Successful applicants will be appointed, for a three-year term, as Core Curriculum Post-Doctoral Teaching Fellows with the rank of visiting assistant professor.

Fellows will teach Core courses that reflect their personal interests and backgrounds. While at AUC, they will also have the opportunity to teach additional courses in their own or related disciplines, to apply for AUC's generous travel (and other) grants in support of their research, and of course to observe, work in and learn about one of the most fascinating countries in the world, Egypt.
