Variable-length teaching opportunities with the Experience Scotland program exist during both fall and spring semesters. Faculty applications will be reviewed by a selection committee composed of representatives from Experience Scotland partner campuses. This selection process will be based primarily upon concerns for the development of a well-rounded study abroad curriculum.
The Experience Scotland faculty application is hosted through the University of Wisconsin-River Falls Human Resources employment website. The faculty application will request applicants to upload the following documents:
-
Curriculum Vitae
-
Complete course proposals document
-
Course syllabi* (please combine all syllabi into a single PDF document before uploading to the application)
-
Signed copy of the Faculty Responsibility & Privileges form
-
Approval for Application form with all required campus signatures
Applicants can leave the Education History and Employment History sections of the online application incomplete. Skipping these sections will not negatively impact the application.
*Please note: At this stage, course syllabi do not need to be updated to reflect Scotland-specific activity. The course proposal form will ask for an outline of your intended use of the local environment. If selected to teach in the program, updated Scotland-specific syllabi will be required prior to on-site teaching.
Application materials for the teaching positions with the Experience Scotland program can be submitted to the online pool at any time. You will receive an automated email from the application system thanking you for your application submission once all required application materials have been submitted. If you do not receive an email confirming submission of your application, it means your application is incomplete and will not be reviewed for selection.
The next review of applications will occur in April 2024 and will consider applications for the fall 2025, and spring 2026 programs. If you wish to be considered in the selection for 2025-26, please submit application materials no later than Monday, April 22. Any faculty not selected will have the option to remain in the continuous recruitment pool to have their applications considered for future academic years.

- Courses appeal to a variety of majors at the various Experience Scotland partner schools
