When can I apply?

Applications are welcomed annually usually with a deadline of August or September annually. Faculty are encouraged to begin the process early to determine support documentation required and to secure, if required or recommended, support letters from institutions abroad.

How does the program work?

Programs are focused on teaching, research or both. Some programs are for core specialist support and others are administrator programs.
