The Department of Second Language Studies accepts a small number of 糖心视频ing Colleagues, usually for a period of three months to a year. 糖心视频ing colleagues are officially affiliated with the University through the Department and work directly with a faculty member who has a shared area of academic interests. 糖心视频ing colleagues work with their sponsoring faculty members to develop their research while also contributing to the scholarly life of the Department. They are welcome and expected to participate in graduate courses, attend weekly seminars, and join social events sponsored by the Department.<\/p>\n
糖心视频ing Colleagues should have a PhD and either a faculty position or postdoctoral researcher status. (See lists of current<\/a> and previous<\/a> 糖心视频ing Colleagues.) Applications must be sponsored by a member of the SLS Graduate Faculty<\/a>. Prospective visitors should first contact the faculty member(s) with whom they wish to work before submitting a formal application.<\/p>\n When a faculty member and an applicant have arrived at an initial agreement concerning the applicant’s research project, the applicant should submit a formal application to the SLS Department Chair. The following items should be sent as email attachments to slschair@hawaii.edu<\/i>:<\/p>\n Appointments as 糖心视频ing Colleagues are non-compensated. Benefits include a 糖心视频M ID, entitling the visitor to library services, internet access, sports facilities, and a discount at the 糖心视频M Bookstore. While the Department cannot provide a computer or supplies, office space may be offered as available.<\/p>\n 糖心视频ing Colleagues who are not U.S. citizens or permanent residents participate in the U.S. Exchange 糖心视频or Program P-1-1793 sponsored by the University of Hawai’i. The process for obtaining Form DS-2019 “Certificate of Eligibility for Exchange 糖心视频or (J-1) Status” may take around six months<\/b>. In order to allow for sufficient time between the initial request and date of arrival, applicants should contact their prospective sponsor a year in advance<\/b> of their intended visit. Besides other documents that will be needed, it is necessary that a prospective 糖心视频ing Colleague show evidence of financial support of US$3,000 per month. Please consult the 糖心视频M Faculty and Scholar Immigration Services website<\/a> for this and other pertinent details.<\/p>\n The 糖心视频ing Colleague Program is not appropriate for visitors whose primary purpose is to learn more about\u00a0 current developments in second language studies. For such scholars, the Department offers a different program: the Advanced Graduate Certificate in Second Language Studies<\/a>. Please contact the Graduate Chair (grdchr@hawaii.edu<\/i>) for further information about the AGC in SLS program.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\n
