2022-23 Faculty Fellows Program

The Office of Faculty Development & Advancement and the Office of Research launched the Faculty Fellows program in the 2021-22 academic year. Fellows work closely with the leaders of these offices on initiatives that focus on Goals II (Increasing Academic and Research Excellence) and III (Diversity and Inclusion) of the University’s Strategic Plan. Fellows must be full-time tenured faculty or full-time specialized faculty in the top rank (Level III) who are not currently serving in major administrative roles (e.g., chair; associate dean). The application deadline is April 1, 2022.

Initiatives of interest include the Office of Faculty Development & Advancement and the Office of Research. Fellows will receive .50 FTE summer appointments (for those on 9-month contracts) and .25 FTE appointments during the academic year.  Funds will be transferred to Fellows’ home units to cover replacement costs for reduced teaching or service assignments.

In a single PDF document, applicants should provide the following information:

• Letter of intent (500-word statement) on initiative(s) the applicant is interested in pursuing and initial ideas for developing and implementing those initiative(s).
