Visiting Faculty
Visiting faculty interested in coming to Brooklyn College should identify a department and, if possible, a specific faculty member with similar research/teaching interests. (See the Brooklyn College directory at the bottom of the college homepage.)
When you are ready to write to the department chair or to a specific faculty member, we recommend including in the communication a brief introduction to yourself, a short description of why you are making contact, a short statement about your research and teaching interests you plan to carry out at Brooklyn College, and a short résumé of your professional background.
Once you have received a positive response from the department and a letter of invitation from the faculty member at Brooklyn College, be sure to read to review this information, especially the section "J-1 Visa Scholars, Researchers, and Professors."
