IMPORTANT REMINDER
The University of Ghana - Diaspora Linkage Programme (UG-DLP)
The UG Community especially Faculty Members are once again reminded that the University of Ghanain 2011, established a Diaspora Linkage Programme (UG-DLP) with funding from the Carnegie Corporation of New York to promote partnerships with African Professors in the diaspora. This is in order to draw on their expertise to enhance UG faculty strength for post-graduate teaching, supervision and thesis examination, with particular emphasis on PhD training. It is also expected that such partnerships will lead to collaborative research that will enhance research productivity.
The UG-DLP also seeks to establish links with existing Diaspora Networks, and other Universities.
UG expectations:
It is expected that individual diasporan professors will obtain endorsement from their universities to spend their leave/sabbatical periods at the University of Ghana. Professors invited on the UG-DLP must be available for a minimum of four weeks normally, but preferably for one to two semesters, and must be willing to teach graduate courses, supervise Masters/PhD students, examine student theses, engage in research (ideally in collaboration with UG faculty), and support the development of new post-graduate programmes.
The UG will offer in turn:
UG Faculty Members are kindly entreated to communicate this information with their colleagues and networks in the Diaspora and encourage them to apply.
