In order to strengthen the cooperation between USJ and the University of Vienna, we are pleased to announce the next call of the University of Vienna’s Non-EU Teaching Mobility Program.
This program supports short-term teaching visits of faculty members of USJ (teachers, researchers…) and of other partner universities to the University of Vienna. It includes:
· A 15 to 90 days guest professorship.
· Reimbursement of travel costs up to € 2,000. By travel costs we mean costs of flight tickets etc.
· A work contract with the University of Vienna.
This means that a contract will be set up with the university teachers/researchers elected by a commission. Thus, they become “employees of the University of Vienna” for the time of their stay.
They will have to care on their own for accommodation and health insurance covering their stay as well as their daily life necessities. However, they will be receiving a salary from the University of Vienna that shall cover these expenses and this salary will depend on how long the candidate is going to stay at the University of Vienna and on his or her excellence.
The language of instruction is English but exceptionally, in language teaching programs, it will depend on the language of instruction of each program.
The next application deadline – for courses planned between March 2018 and June 2018 – is: July 1st 2017.
