Opportunities from Ajman University

The current program supports research-focused and teaching-focused visiting scholars during Fall and Spring, with Summer visits considered case by case. Category 1 research visitors may teach up to two courses; Category 2 visitors perform duties similar to full-time visiting faculty. AU lists recurring application deadlines of December 31 for Summer, November 15 for Spring and February 3 for Fall. Support varies by category and can include return economy airfare, accommodation allowance, UAE visa/residency and insurance; Category 1 can also include an honorarium up to AED 10,000 per semester and teaching allowances, while Category 2 provides salary under university policy. Summer exchanges of at least four weeks can receive up to AED 30,000 toward specified costs. These are program terms, not a promise that every applicant receives every benefit.

Applicants must provide clear academic or research benefit to the host unit, be recognized experts in their field, and hold an active appointment at an institution ranked in the global top 200 under the university's stated ranking criteria. Scholars on sabbatical are typical, but the page also welcomes eligible scholars who are not on sabbatical.
