Emory College Chronos Faculty Fellowship: Applications Due November 1
Emory 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 (salary and $10,000 in research/travel funds). This opportunity was established 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. 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 Wednesday, November 1.

CFDE Series: Leveraging Rejection into Research
The Center for Faculty Development and Excellence will offer a two-part workshop series this fall for faculty, graduate students, and post-docs on strategies to improve manuscript and grant proposals.
Part 1: Mastering Reviewer Feedback
Registration deadline: Wednesday, October 4
12 p.m. - 1:30 p.m.
Wednesday, October 18
CFDE Woodruff Library Suite 216 or via Zoom
Have you experienced the challenges and setbacks of a difficult reviewer whether it’s for a manuscript, book chapter, monograph, or book? These critiques can be both an emotional and intellectual hurdle to overcome, particularly after dedicating so much work, consideration, and persistence into preparing the original submission. In this session, you will have the opportunity to learn from a distinguished panel of senior scholars at Emory who will share effective strategies for navigating and addressing reviewers’ comments.
Part 2: Navigating Grant Proposal Rejections
Registration deadline: Wednesday, October 18
12 p.m. - 1:30 p.m.
Wednesday, November 1
CFDE Woodruff Library Suite 216 or via Zoom
Developing grant proposals is no simple task. Hours of work go into developing the research plan, contextualizing that research plan in the established literature, and building partnerships and collaborations, among other grant development tasks. After all that work, receiving a decline letter can be challenging. What steps should you take now that the proposal has been declined? Should you revise and resubmit for the next funding cycle? Should you consider a different funding opportunity? In this session, a distinguished panel of senior scholars at Emory University will share their experiences in turning grant proposal setbacks into success.
If you require disability-related accommodation to participate in these events, please contact Carol Colaninno, CFDE, at ccolani@emory.edu to arrange services. Early requests are strongly encouraged to allow sufficient time to meet your access needs.
