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.
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 by email (Dean_of_Faculty@emory.edu) no later than Wednesday, November 1.
