IAH announces new Fellowships in the Arts

The Institute for the Arts and Humanities is pleased to announce that, thanks to funding from the Office of the Executive Director for the Arts, two new faculty fellowships in the arts will be awarded for the 2009-2010 academic year.

The Faculty Arts Fellows Program will award up to two fellowships each year to advance creative endeavors and/or scholarly research that incorporate the arts in a tangible way.  The Fellowship will be open to all tenure-track faculty at UNC and to fixed-term faculty who have been at Carolina for at least five years.

The Arts Fellowships will provide funds for Fellows to buy out teaching responsibilities along with a research fund for travel, materials, and other costs connected to the fellow’s project.  Arts Fellows will join the IAH Faculty Fellows Seminar during the semester when the fellowship is held.

Applicants for the fellowship will be considered within the general pool of applicants for IAH fellowships.  The application process will be similar to that used for IAH Faculty Fellows. 

The deadline for applications for Arts Fellowships for the 2009-2010 academic year is Wednesday September 24, 2008.  Application instructions and forms are available from Martha Marks, whose email address is mmarks@email.unc.edu.
