The University of Miami is accepting applications for a fellow to give lectures on key policies in Latin America.

This fellowship at The Center for Hemispheric Policy, sponsored by Consejo de Redaccion, is designed for political analysts, economists, journalists and academics from Latin America, the Caribbean or Canada to teach at the University of Miami on Latin American policies.

Applicants must also be able to speak and write fluently in English and have experience in democracy, economic development, competitiveness, globalization, hemispheric security, Mexico and Brazil.
