Visiting Professorships at the University of Bergen
The UW-University of Bergen Faculty Exchange Program announced its annual competition for visiting professor appointments at the University of Bergen, Norway, for a minimum term of one quarter. Appointments can also be arranged at the University of Trondheim. Visiting Professors receive travel expenses and subsidized housing, and continue to receive their UW salary.

Since its founding in 1979, 48 UW faculty members have journeyed to Bergen with support from this program. They have come from such diverse fields as anthropology, dentistry, education, English, fisheries, philosophy, political science, psychology, quaternary research, Scandinavian languages and literature, surgery, women studies and zoology. The 70 University of Bergen faculty visiting UW have spanned a similar range of disciplines.
