Download the complete application information.

Faculty Fellowships provide a one-course teaching reduction in 2012-13 and a $1000 research budget for tenured or tenure-track faculty. (NTTs can apply for the NTT Fellowship.) Four fellowships will be awarded, and one fellowship each is designated for a junior and a senior faculty member. Fellows participate monthly in the Fellows Seminar, where they present part of their manuscript for discussion and critique. Fellows also make a public presentation of their research and contribute to the activities of the Center during the year.

Eligibility

All tenured or tenure-track faculty working on research projects in the humanities or humanistic social sciences are eligible to apply. Previous applicants are welcome to reapply every year. Recipients of Faculty Fellowships during the previous four years are ineligible. Simultaneous application to external fellowships is encouraged.

Application

Each candidate submits: 

• A statement of proposed research (4-5 pages double-spaced) describing the intellectual significance of the project. Provide an overview explaining the basic ideas, problems, or questions examined by the study. Explain how the project will complement, challenge, or expand relevant studies in the field. Include a description of the current state of the work, identify the research planned for the fellowship year, and describe the intended results of the project.
• Current C.V.
• Letter from your department chair assessing your proposal and indicating that the course release will not adversely affect the department's course offerings.

All proposals will be confidentially evaluated by an interdisciplinary group of faculty from the Center's Advisory Board and award decisions will be based on the quality of the research proposal.

Please forward all materials electronically to chat@temple.edu by Monday, 10/ 24/11. Contact Peter Logan with any questions at peter.logan@temple.edu or 215/204-8567.
