2023 ILA Interdisciplinary Teaching Fellowship Applications Due October 23
Emory College’s Institute for Liberal Arts (ILA) invites applications for the ILA’s Interdisciplinary Teaching Fellowship. The Fellowship provides an opportunity for a full-time Emory College faculty member, at the level of senior lecturer, associate professor, or above, to spend one academic year immersed in the ILA.
Through teaching, mentoring, and programming alongside the ILA faculty, the Fellow will engage in innovative and inclusive interdisciplinary practices in and out of the classroom, that will continue to impact the Fellow’s professional and pedagogical trajectory beyond the Fellowship year. The Fellow will be released from teaching and service responsibilities in the home department. In addition, the ILA will provide a research stipend of $4,000.
Applications are due October 23. For details and to apply, please visit the ILA website at Interdisciplinary Teaching Fellow.
Emory College Chronos Faculty Fellowship: Applications Due Nov. 1
The College of Arts and Sciences is accepting applications for the Chronos Faculty Fellowship for a tenured faculty member in the Humanities or Social Sciences. Honoring the critical importance of time in the scholarly work of research and writing, the Chronos Faculty Fellowship will support one academic year of leave, allowing a tenured member of the College faculty to pursue deep intellectual inquiry, pose important questions, and contribute to critical debates in and beyond a single field or discipline. This opportunity has been conceived as a way to support creative and ambitious scholarship in the post-tenure period when time for immersive research/writing can be especially difficult to secure.
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. The Chronos Faculty Fellowship is funded through a generous grant by the Abraham J. & Phyllis Katz Foundation, and provides a single fellowship, (salary and $10,000 in research/travel funds). In concert with this generous gift, the College will fund a Visiting Assistant Professorship (or similar instructional opportunity) in the successful Chronos Fellowship recipient’s field to provide a professional development opportunity for an individual in the early career stage, and to ensure the coverage of relevant courses.
Fellowship applications should include the following:
- CV
- A research/writing proposal no longer than 3 single spaced pages.
- A brief letter of endorsement from the department chair
- Courses to be released during the academic year of leave
Proposals should be submitted to Dean_of_Faculty@emory.edu no later than Tuesday, November 1.

These include small allocations for partial funding of a single speaker to larger amounts to support conferences with several speakers.

Requests that are submitted after deadlines will still be evaluated on a rolling schedule by the committee. For more information and to apply, go to the Office of Faculty website.
