Call for Applications: Global Teaching Fellowship
The Global Teaching Fellowship Program (GTFP) invites applications from advanced CEU doctoral students and recent alums who will teach during the first half of 2026.
GTFP supports advanced CEU doctoral students and recent alums in their teaching development. During the fellowship period, Fellows teach their own, independent course at another institution and receive mentoring and pedagogical support from the Yehuda Elkana Center. In addition to any compensation for teaching, Fellows receive a grant from CEU to support teaching-related research and scholarly development as a teacher.
You are invited to apply if you are a currently enrolled doctoral student at CEU (year three or above), in good standing with your program, and do not have any restrictions on receiving grants. (Please see further details on financial aid and other restrictions below.) Alternatively, you can also be a recent graduate of a CEU doctoral program (no more than two years since degree) if you are not employed more than 50% of the time during the fellowship.
This year, many opportunities are for online teaching, rather than for in-person teaching. This creates opportunities to teach while continuing doctoral studies and research in Vienna.
For the first time, doctoral students and alums who independently arrange to teach at other institutions (e.g., in Austria or other countries) are eligible to become Fellows and gain access to funding and mentoring.
Applicants can also propose a course idea and GTFP colleagues will be in dialogue with other institutions about potential teaching opportunities.
Regardless of how the teaching placement is arranged, Fellows teach courses independently (e.g., not as TA, mentor, or co-instructor). Courses can be online, in-person, or in hybrid mode through an accredited higher education institution’s undergraduate or master’s degree program or courses in academic solidarity programs, even if not necessarily degree or accredited programs.
Please see the full Call for Applications for important details, restrictions, and information on how to apply.
You are invited to register for an information session on Monday, November 3 at 12:30 in D-001 and online or to contact colleagues in the Yehuda Elkana Center at elkanacenter@ceu.edu with any questions.
