Christian Studies International (CSI) provides
opportunities for Christian academics to teach overseas in public
universities and colleges.
CSI is the Canadian affiliate of the International
Institute for Christian Studies (IICS), based in Overland Park, Kansas.
Together, these two organizations have placed dozens of Christian faculty
members at post-secondary institutions in developing and former communist
countries, where they are able to provide students with an education rooted
in a Christian worldview.
Currently, openings exist in many countries, and in a
variety of disciplines.
CSI professors make a tremendous difference in the
lives of hundreds of students overseas. Professors teaching with CSI must
raise some of their own support – for travel, as well as partial
salary. Often, the host university provides some salary, housing and other
amenities.
CSI will assist the professor in raising the necessary
funds from churches, friends and supporters. Donations for this purpose are
channeled through CSI, which provides tax deductible receipts.
People with the appropriate academic qualifications
– who want to take this opportunity to bring the good news of the
gospel to places where it may seldom be heard – should consult the
CSI website at www.christianstudiesinternational.ca, or contact CSI at
csidesk@telus.net.
