Lectureships in the Summer Session

VIU will offer a Summer Session of the Globalization Program in August 2023 and has issued a Call for Lectureships.

Deadline for submission of proposal: EXTENDED TO MARCH 15, 2023

We have published an addendum to the Call in order to extend the submission deadline to March 15, 2023.

Please consider that the extension does NOT apply to applications from KU Leuven, the University of Exeter, or Stellenbosch University as a number of applications was already submitted in the first round.

The first edition of the Summer Session was launched in 2022 with the aim of extending the opportunities to study and teach at VIU. Through this opportunity, VIU also serves the needs of those students who otherwise face barriers to participation during the semester-long programs, due to the structure of their curricula, socioeconomic factors, cultural factors, and personal circumstances.

The Summer Session is also an opportunity for professors who, due to teaching, research, administrative or personal commitments, are otherwise unable to spend a full semester at VIU.

Courses from any discipline can be proposed, including the sciences. The courses must be suitable and open to Bachelor's and Master's students and must take into consideration that VIU students come from different cultural backgrounds (with about 20 nationalities represented in a semester), and from different academic traditions.

Each course must consist of 40 hours (36 hours of in-class tuition + 4 hours of extra activities). The 36 hours of in-class teaching will be during the 4-week program at the VIU campus - indicatively 9 hours of teaching per week.

Professors may consider team teaching solutions, either with colleagues from their own university, or in other VIU member universities.
