2012 CALL FOR APPLICATIONS
Empowering the Teachers
enables outstanding young Nigerian faculty in science and engineering to
collaborate with faculty at MIT in developing new curriculum and
teaching methods.
The program is offered by the MIT International
Science and Technology Initiatives (MISTI) together with its corporate
partner Total. The director of the program is Akintunde Ibitayo
Akinwande, Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at MIT.
DESCRIPTION
Empowering
the Teachers will select up to twelve outstanding young faculty fellows
from the disciplines of electrical engineering, computer science and computer engineering in Nigerian universities to spend a semester
at MIT in 2013. Selected fellows will observe instruction in their
disciplines and work as a group to prepare innovative curricula and
approaches to teaching that can be introduced to their home universities
on their return.
Empowering the Teachers will cover the travel,
living and instructional materials expenses of the participants. The
home universities of the successful applicants will commit to provide
paid leaves of absence during the period of the MIT program.
The
young faculty selected to participate in the Empowering the Teachers
program will spend either the spring 2013 (February-May) or fall 2013
(September-December) semester at MIT observing classes similar to
ones they themselves currently teach. They will work on new curricular
materials and teaching approaches for adoption in their own classes.
During their stays, they will participate regularly in at least two MIT
subjects (including recitations and tutorials) that correspond to courses the faculty members teach at their home universities.
They will attend weekly Empowering the Teachers Fellows Seminar meetings on curriculum development and meet with professors and teaching assistants. Beyond the fellowship semester
at MIT, Empowering the Teachers will support online communications,
periodic reunions and meetings in Nigeria in order to build over time a
community of faculty devoted to excellence and innovation in science and
engineering education.
ELIGIBILITY
Empowering
the Teachers welcomes applications from all qualified faculty. To be
eligible for consideration for selection, a faculty member must hold a
PhD and teach in a department corresponding to Electrical Engineering
and Computer Science at a university in Nigeria. Only candidates at the level of Lecturer One rank will be considered.
APPLICATION AND SELECTION
Please download the application form and submit it to misti-africa@mit.edu
by Monday, August 6. An MIT committee will establish a list of top
candidates. These candidates will be interviewed in Nigeria by MIT
faculty in late August/early September.
Empowering the Teachers 2012 deadline: Monday, August 6, 2012.
