Teaching

Grantees who receive US Scholar teaching awards will teach undergraduate and graduate courses in their area of specialization at Indonesian universities for one academic term (six months). Grantees may expect to teach regular courses, but they may also conduct seminars, and workshops, consult on curricular matters or assist with program and faculty development. The teaching load is estimated to be two graduate or undergraduate courses per semester, with up to eight classroom hours per week, plus possible labs or seminars. Grantees may be asked to give public talks and to engage with the larger academic community beyond their host institution, for which additional funds may be available.

Scheduling

Teaching grants can only begin in the second semester (February) to coincide with the start of the Indonesian spring semester.

Visas

Teaching grantees will need a Limited Stay Visa (VITAS) and a work permit from the Ministry of Manpower. AMINEF will provide assistance in obtaining such permits. Although the vast majority of applications are approved, AMINEF cannot guarantee Indonesian government agencies’ approval, and in the case of a rejected application, the grantee may not be able to take up the award offer.
