Visiting Professorship Programme

Dominican University, Ibadan-Nigeria places emphasis on partnerships, advancement and other forms of engagement. We welcome scholars, researchers and other professionals from other institutions who visit our university to teach, lecture, or perform research on a topic for which the visitor is valued. In many cases, the position is not salaried because the visitor is salaried by their home institution (or partially salaried, as in some cases of sabbatical leave from their universities).

Visiting scholars may stay for a couple of weeks, months or even a year. Typically, a visiting scholar is invited by our institution, such an invitation is often regarded as recognizing the scholar's prominence in the field. However, interested scholars are invited to send their applications (partnerships@dui.edu.ng) with detailed CV and other supporting documents for consideration. Attracting prominent visiting scholars often allows the management, permanent faculty and graduate students to cooperate with prominent academics from other institutions, especially foreign ones.

The major goal of our visiting scholar’s programs is generally to bring to the university an exceptional senior scholar who can contribute to the community's intellectual and research endeavors and international projection. Hence, in addition to conducting their own research, visitors are often expected to participate in productive institutional activities, such as:

• Deliver a formal lecture
• Engage in discussions with undergraduate or postgraduate students
• Undertake collaborative research with staff
• Present faculty seminars
• Present a paper as part of the university's Public Lecture Series
