Our Faculty Development fund aims to provide fellowship programs to our faculty members, lecturers, teachers and teaching assistants to pursue doctoral and post-doctoral degrees overseas. In return, enabling them to engage in up-skilling activities that benefit students by enhancing the quality of offered higher-education curricula. Faculty development is crucial in allowing Birzeit University to maintain excellence in teaching and learning and to advance knowledge through research.
Named Faculty Dean
A Named Dean position is one of the most prestigious honors a faculty member can receive and is an indicator that s/he is one of the top contributing members in their field. Dean positions empower the University to attract top research and senior faculty members who are able to offer expertise and strategic guidance to the University while increasing the overall academic standing of Birzeit.
Named Faculty Professorship
Professorships are awarded to recognize and reward superior achievement by faculty. A named professorship is one of the highest honors the University can bestow on a faculty member. Each named professorship plays a critical role in attracting and retaining proven leaders who can drive Birzeit's mission and standard for excellence in higher-education. Among academia, such professorships are a coveted and widely recognized accolade, signaling a colleague is at the top of his or her field.
