Application Deadline for the 2023-2024 cycle is February 15, 2023, 5:00 pm
In 2023-2024, The Center for the Humanities will offer research fellowships to Arts, Humanities, or Social Science tenure track and tenured faculty in the School of Arts and Sciences at Tufts who are engaged in humanistic scholarship or artistic creation or criticism. Tufts Faculty Fellows will be offered work space at the Center for the Humanities throughout the academic year. Fellows may either continue to teach a normal load, or may request to receive one or two course releases, which require the support of their department chairs. Fellows will present their work in a public seminar, participate in the workshops and seminars with other fellows at the center, and become full members of the Center’s intellectual and social community. We particularly invite applications from faculty whose creative or scholarly work is interdisciplinary, interdepartmental, and/or fosters cross-campus dialogue. Fellows may seek a one-semester appointment in conjunction with a scheduled sabbatical leave.
Applications, consisting of a cover letter, CV, a 1500-word research proposal, and a letter of support from the applicant’s department or program chair, should be submitted by February 15, 2023 to Courtney McDermott, Program Administrator, at humanities@tufts.edu.
