Exchange scholars with University of Ljubljana sought
The University of Washington-University of Ljubljana Exchange Program invites applications from faculty and senior graduate students to be an academic visitor to the University of Ljubljana, in Slovenia, during the 2010 calendar year.
Visitors will give some lectures and will interact with Slovene faculty and students in their field of study. The visit must be completed by the end of 2010. The program has funds to support travel to Slovenia, and the host institution will pay living expenses while there. Two visitors, each staying for a two-week period, can be supported.
Applicants should submit their CV and a letter explaining the purpose and academic value of the proposed visit. Students should also provide appropriate letters of support from their departments. In addition, if the applicant has established any contacts with academics at the University of Ljubljana, the application should mention this.
Applicants from previous years who were not selected need only indicate their continued interest in applying this year in a brief e-mail to Professor Aurel Bulgac. Deadline for applications is Friday, Nov. 20. Applications, and all questions concerning the program, should be addressed to: Professor Aurel Bulgac, Department of Physics, P.O.
