Teaching Fellow, Asian University for Women
Asian University for Women, dedicated to the education, empowerment, and leadership
development of highly talented women from across Asia and the Middle East, announces a
new Teaching Fellows Program. Because preferential selection of students is given to underserved
populations, most of whom do not have the needed skills for the rigor of undergraduate work, Pre-
Undergraduate Programs have been established at AUW. Approximately half of the students at AUW are in these preparatory programs. Fellows will teach English, math, or computer science for one year in the Pre-Undergraduate Programs and will supervise one extra-curricular activity each term. AUW seeks recent graduates of liberal arts institutions with strong academic and extracurricular records who share an unmitigated passion for women’s education to apply. The year-long programs begin in late July, starting July 2023. Due to the joyful arrival of over 200 Afghan students during fall term 2022, an additional cohort of Fellows will begin at AUW in early January 2023.
