1962, the US Teaching Assistantship Program in Austria has provided US college
and university graduates with opportunities to work at secondary schools
throughout Austria as teaching assistants.

website http://www.usta-austria.at/ Only online applications will be

2015-16 is January 15, 2015.

2015-16: https://www.usta-austria.at/site/programdescription/program
The
flyer can then which can be posted or distributed to interested students,
either electronically or in paper copy.
US
teaching assistants not only enhance the instruction of English as native
speakers; they are also important resources for first-hand information about
the United States and the "American way of life." The Austrian
Federal Ministry of Education and Women’s affairs (BMBF) finances this program,
which is administered by the Austrian-American Educational Commission
(Fulbright Commission). While the participants in this program contribute to
the Fulbright goal of promoting mutual understanding, this is not a
Fulbright grant program. For information on the Fulbright student program
in Austria, please consult the Institute for International Education at http://us.fulbrightonline.org/ or the website of the
Austrian-American Educational Commission at http://www.fulbright.at/
If
you have any questions about the program and the online application process,
please do not hesitate to contact Jürgen
Hörmann at jhoermann@fulbright.at
