IAH Fellowships

IAH Faculty Fellowships provide semester-long fellowships on campus for faculty members from the College of Arts and Sciences to pursue research and projects for publication, exhibition, composition and performance.

The program provides funding for each Fellow’s department to cover their semester leave and pays for the weekly seminar/luncheon, during which the group of eight to 12 Fellows exchange ideas with colleagues from other disciplines.

IAH Fellowships support work related to the arts, humanities and qualitative social sciences.

Eligibility

IAH Faculty Fellowships are awarded for proposals that are related in some important way to the arts, humanities and qualitative social sciences.

Professors in tenure-track positions of all ranks are encouraged to apply. The Institute seeks a blend of ranks and disciplines for each class of Fellows. Faculty members may apply for an IAH Fellowship as early as their second year at UNC-Chapel Hill. Persons holding fixed-term appointments who are in at least their fourth year are also eligible if they will be returning to their department the following semester.

Past Fellows may apply for an IAH fellowship in the fifth year after their previous award.

Joint proposals from two faculty members are also accepted.

Application Process

The application process begins in the fall of each year, and deadlines for applications are announced at that time. Applicants may apply for either fall or spring semester of the following academic year.

The application includes:

• IAH application form
• Current CV
• Four-page description of the project

Note: The deadline for fellowships in the 2009-2010 academic year is September 24, 2008, at noon.
