Applications are invited in all disciplines of the liberal arts and engineering. Recipients must be either U.S. citizens or permanent residents committed to and willing to contribute to enhancing the diversity of our colleges and their faculties and should have no more than five years of teaching or relevant experience before holding a fellowship. Two types of residential fellowship awards are available under this program.
The Dissertation Fellowship
The dissertation fellowship is intended for scholars who have completed all requirements for the Ph.D. or the M.F.A. except the dissertation; this fellowship is intended for scholars in the final stage of their dissertation and aims, above all, to help the fellow complete the final requirements for the degree during the year of residency. Dissertation fellowship recipients will receive compensation equivalent to the compensation of a starting one-year instructor at the host institution. Modest funds will be made available to finance proposed research and mentoring of teaching and scholarship will be provided, subject to the usual institutional procedures. Dissertation fellowship recipients will be expected to teach the equivalent of one semester-long course during the academic year, to participate in functions such as departmental seminars, and to interact regularly with students.
The Postdoctoral Fellowship
The postdoctoral fellowship is intended for scholars who have been awarded the Ph.D. or M.F.A. no later than the beginning of the fellowship year and no earlier than five years before the beginning of the fellowship year. Postdoctoral fellowship recipients will receive compensation commensurate with the compensation of a full-time, one-year faculty member with comparable qualifications. Modest funds will be made available to finance proposed research and mentoring of teaching and scholarship will be provided, subject to the usual institutional procedures. Postdoctoral fellowship recipients will be expected to teach the equivalent of one semester-long course during each semester of residency, to participate in departmental seminars, and to interact regularly with students.
