Approximately 250 American lecturers and researchers representing a variety of academic fields participate in the Fulbright Scholar Program in Europe and throughout the world. Thus, a specialist fitting your department's teaching may be close by. Norwegian institutions can invite a US Fulbright Scholar from another European Country through the  Intercountry Lecturing Program.
