Faculty Fellowship Program FY28

Description

The Faculty Fellowship Program provides on-campus, semester-long leaves for faculty members from the College of Arts and Sciences to pursue research and creative work that leads to publication, exhibition, composition, and performance. The Fellowship supports a weekly seminar at which up to 10 colleagues gather over a meal to discuss projects as well as broader topics of relevance to Carolina faculty. The Program Director —a faculty member and former Fellow—facilitates the weekly meetings.

Qualifications

IAH Faculty Fellowships support work in which the arts or humanities play a central role. We welcome proposals from faculty in the natural and social sciences if the proposed project focuses on the arts or humanities.

• Fixed-term faculty in or after their fourth year are also eligible if they will be returning to their department the following semester.

• The Institute seeks a blend of ranks and disciplines for each class of Fellows.

• Past Fellows may apply for an IAH fellowship five or more years after their previous award.

• Joint proposals from two faculty members are accepted.
