Faculty Fellowship Program

Faculty Fellowship Program

Time devoted exclusively to research and writing is integral to academic productivity. It allows scholars to travel to important sites, pore over far-flung archives, conduct interviews and otherwise become immersed in the pursuit of a research question. Scholars need time to reflect, analyze and make connections and, finally, share their discoveries with the world. While faculty engage in this kind of activity as a matter of course, the fellowship — a period of time free of administrative, service and teaching responsibilities — provides the opportunity to make significant strides.

The Washington University Center for the Humanities in Arts & Sciences is pleased to offer one-semester Faculty Fellowships during the fall and spring of each academic year. Up to six fellowships total (Open and First Book) will be awarded per year. Up to two fellowships per year, included in that number, will be designated for a First Book Fellowship.
