Fox Center Humanities Pathways Fellowship 2025-2026

Description

This fellowship (20 hours/week) is located in the Fox Center for Humanistic Inquiry and is intended to provide a graduate student in the humanities or humanistic social sciences a pathway into academic careers beyond the tenure track. The selected fellow will gain a broad range of professional experience by collaborating with our staff team, including in the areas of program management, event design, budget management, research and assessment, and communications. Students with a strong interest in alternative academic careers are especially encouraged to apply. The fellow will have a desk at the Center and is expected to work primarily in person. Occasional evening work (1-2 times per month) is expected as part of supporting the Center’s events program.

This fellowship provides a 9-month stipend along with a 100% subsidy for the Emory University Student Health Insurance Plan (EUSHIP). The first stipend payment will be at the end of September.
