The Chronos Faculty Fellowship
The Chronos Faculty Fellowship is a new opportunity for a tenured faculty member in the Humanities or Social Sciences that will support one academic year of leave (salary and $10,000 in research/travel funds). It aims to support ambitious scholarship in the post-tenure period, when time for immersive research and writing can be difficult to secure. The Chronos Faculty Fellowship is funded through a generous grant by the Abraham J. & Phyllis Katz Foundation, and a single fellowship will be offered in each of the next five academic years.
The successful fellowship recipient will advance a bold research question and demonstrate the capacity to disseminate the results of that research through clear and compelling writing. In concert with this gift, the College will fund a Visiting Assistant Professorship (or similar instructional opportunity) in the successful Chronos Fellowship recipient’s field.
Fellowship applications should include:
- A research/writing proposal no longer than three single-spaced pages;
- A brief letter of endorsement from the department chair; and
- Courses to be released during the academic year of leave.
Proposals should be submitted to Dean_of_Faculty@emory.edu no later than Monday, Nov. 2. Proposals will be judged on the creativity of the research question; the need for an extended research period; and the demonstration of a record of clear and effective writing.
Community-Engaged Learning Grants
The Center for Faculty Development and Excellence announces the availability of the Community-Engaged Learning Grants. Anyone currently teaching at Emory is eligible.
Grants may be used to support activities related to well-structured community-engaged and university partner learning experiences in courses or academic programs. Proposals should address how community-engaged pedagogy is leveraged to assist organizations with addressing critical community needs in the metro Atlanta area.
The grants cover amounts up to $1,500 and are intended to support both new or ongoing opportunities for faculty to incorporate community engaged learning (service-learning) into their courses or programs.
Applications are due Monday, November 2. To submit a proposal, please visit the Community-Engaged Learning Grant form.
Hightower Speaker Funds
Each year Emory College receives funds from the Hightower endowment, which memorializes the late Robert E. Hightower Sr. This endowment provides funds to bring outstanding visiting lecturers to Emory.
The College has typically committed funds of $75,000-$100,000 annually. These include small allocations for partial funding of a single speaker to large amounts to support conferences with several speakers. Applications for Spring and Summer events are currently being accepted.
The deadline to submit applications for Spring events is Monday, November 16.
More information about the application process can be found on the Office of Faculty website. Applications should be submitted electronically to Dean_of_Faculty@emory.edu.
2021 MP3 Initiative Offers Faculty Startup Supplement
Emory’s MP3 Initiative seeks to facilitate and grow basic and applied infectious disease research across the university, from molecules and pathogens within hosts to populations and pandemics. As part of this effort, the initiative provides supplements to start-up packages for new faculty whose research fits within the theme of infectious disease across fields. This program is on a rolling deadline throughout the year. For more information go to the MP3 Initiative website. Contact Todd Swink at tswink@emory.edu to apply.
