Announcing Three Faculty Fellowships

Three $3000 research awards will be presented for the 2009-10 academic year to Humanities faculty whose scholarly or creative work serves as a focus for humanistic scholarship and artistic creation in the School of Arts and Sciences across the Tufts campus.

We particularly welcome applications from faculty whose work is interdisciplinary, interdepartmental, and/or fosters cross-campus dialogue.

Fellows will be given an office at CHAT (48 Professors Row) throughout the academic year.  CHAT will provide a phone and office support (fax, photocopying etc.).

The Fellow will present a paper on his or her work and attend round-table discussions of other Fellows' papers throughout the year.  The Fellow will participate fully in all the activities of the Center.

Eligibility: Tenure track and tenured faculty

Application: Please submit the following:

• An application letter, which includes a personal statement (500 words maximum) outlining the project and, if possible, how it is appropriate to the CHAT theme. The theme for 2009-2010 is "The Humanities and the Body"
• Curriculum Vitae

Deadline:  Deadline for applications is Friday, April 3, 2009

PLEASE NOTE: Applications from untenured faculty members must be accompanied by a letter of support from the applicant's Chair.
