Armin Moczek, professor of biology, is one of twelve Indiana University faculty members from campuses across the state who have been awarded fellowships from the Fulbright Program, the flagship international educational exchange program sponsored by the U.S. government.

Under the awards, IU faculty members will conduct research and academic activity in Australia, Belarus, Brazil, Estonia, Iceland, Italy, the Philippines, Scotland, Spain and England.

"This year's Fulbright fellows continue a long line of distinguished IU scholars who not only engage in cutting-edge research in their disciplines," said David Zaret, IU vice president for international affairs. "They also become ambassadors for Indiana University, enhancing our linkages around the world. We honor their efforts and achievements."

Moczek has been named a Fulbright Distinguished Chair in Science, Technology, and Innovation. He will travel to Australia as co-leader of an effort to extend evolutionary theory to integrate knowledge from fields such as developmental biology and ecology. Host institutions are the Australian National University and the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization in Canberra, Australia.

The Fulbright Program, which celebrates its 70th anniversary this year, was created to build relations between the U.S. and other countries to find solutions to global challenges and shared international concerns. Over 160 countries participate in the program.

The IU faculty members are among 1,200 U.S. citizens selected for this year's grants, which have sent over 360,000 students, scholars, teachers, artists and scientists abroad.
