I am currently in the early phases of planning a sabbatical in 2015-16. Anyone interested in an experienced science educator with work in biology, pedagogy, teacher development and environmental science? I have already completed one successfully. I am looking for an invitation by an system who is really looking for someone. I already know about the awards catalogue and CIEES system. Thank you all for your consideration.
James I have modified my answer as I did not see you were familiar with the CIES awards. If you are interested in West Africa then The University of Gambia continuously has visiting professorships available however you are compensated in their currency. The cost of living is very low however do not expect the award to cover your living expenses in the states if your university does not provide a salary during your sabbatical. See (http://www.accessgambia.com/information/university.html) and inbox if you need the public relations director to set up your visit.
Mr. Hollenbeck,
I would recommended you Alexander von Humboldt Foundadtion (http://www.humboldt-foundation.de/web/start.html).
On their web-site it have available numerouse research programs, depending of your qualification, acedemic degree, experiences and s.o. The visiting research ar in the German Educational and research Institutions. But the principe for granting is fully opposite. You should not waiting for invitation. You should have own ideas for projects and research planes. Than you should find a Host Organization (University and/or research Institute), which are ready to accept fellows. Than when you receive agreement eventually from the Host Institution, the Foundation starts with reviewering of your project and eventually granting.
As research opportunities and payment-tariff the conditions are excellent. Furthermore they operate with the contracts, strictly keeping all obligations. With one phrase: ' a very strict and legal management as well as shure for applicants, Funding Institution and the Host Institutions'.
But with all this information you can recognized in details from the guidelines to each of the programs.
