If necessary, special arrangements may be made with the National Library of Medicine for access to its materials as well.

Marilyn Yarbrough Dissertation/Teaching Fellowship – Kenyon College

Posted on January 30, 2017 by gtuscholarships

Marilyn Yarbrough Dissertation/Teaching Fellowship – Kenyon College

Deadline: October 1

This award is named in honor of the late Marilyn Yarbrough, Kenyon parent and trustee. A legal scholar and university administrator who was a former editor of the Black Law Journal and a member of the Pulitzer Prize Board, Marilyn Yarbrough often addressed gender and racial discrimination in her scholarship and teaching.

Kenyon College offers the Marilyn Yarbrough Dissertation/Teaching Fellowship for scholars in the final stages of their doctoral work who need only to finish the dissertation to complete requirements for the Ph.D. In the past, fellowships have been awarded in: African and African American Studies, American Studies, Anthropology, Art History, Biology, English, History, Math, Modern Languages and Literatures (Spanish), Music, Religious Studies and Sociology.

Kenyon will provide a stipend of $32,500, plus health benefits, housing, and a small moving allowance. The College will also provide an allowance to cover travel to conferences or for consultation with the dissertation director. Kenyon will assist the Fellow in finding college housing. The Fellow will be provided an office, a networked computer, and secretarial support services. Faculty colleagues at Kenyon recognize and embrace the opportunity to welcome and mentor new faculty members.

The Fellow is expected to write the dissertation and to teach one course each semester, usually in the Fellow’s general research area. Fellows are also expected to offer a college lecture or departmental seminar on the dissertation topic at some point during the academic year in residence. Kenyon College assumes that the Fellow will participate in the intellectual life of his/her home department, as well as in the broader cultural life of the College. Our primary expectation, however, and the main focus of this fellowship, is the completion of the dissertation.

Eligibility to apply for the Marilyn Yarbrough Dissertation/Teaching Fellowship is limited to those meeting all of the following four criteria who are citizens or nationals of the United States or otherwise ‘protected individuals’ as defined in 8 USC 1324b(a)(3)(B).

  • Members of underrepresented groups (e.g., ethnic minorities; women in fields that attract mostly men, or men in fields that attract mostly women; and persons who are first-generation college attendees).
  • Individuals who are enrolled in a research-based Ph.D. program in one of the following fields: African and African American Studies, American Studies, Anthropology, Art, Art History, Asian Studies, Biology, Biochemistry, Chemistry, Classics, Dance, Drama, Economics, English, Environmental Studies, History, Humanities, International Studies, Legal Studies, Mathematics, Modern Languages and Literature, Music, Neuroscience, Philosophy, Physics, Political Science, Public Policy, Psychology, Religious Studies, Scientific Computing, Sociology, and Women’s and Gender Studies.
  • Individuals who aspire to a teaching and research career.
  • Persons who have not yet earned a doctoral degree at any time and in any field.

Posted on January 25, 2017 by gtuscholarships

Notre Dame Center for Philosophy of Religion Fellowships

Deadline: February 1

Fellowships available:

One Alvin Plantinga Fellowship ($60,000) is intended to provide time for reflection and writing to those whose work is on the forefront of current research in the philosophy of religion and Christian philosophy. It is one of a number of recurring fellowships that allow scholars from other institutions to spend either a semester or a year at Notre Dame participating in the Center’s activities and pursuing their work in philosophy of religion and Christian philosophy. These fellowships are of four types:

One Frederick J. Crosson Fellowship ($45,000) is given to scholars who might not qualify for any other Center fellowship but who would benefit from a year at the Center—for example, foreign scholars or those outside the field of philosophy.

Up to two Research Fellowships ($40,000-$50,000, depending on rank and circumstances) are offered to those whose tenure at the Center would allow them to grow and make progress in the Center’s areas of interest. This is done with the aim that they will subsequently disseminate and expand upon work in those areas through their own teaching and writing.

One Visiting Graduate Fellowship ($20,000) is awarded to philosophy graduate students from other institutions who are working on dissertations in philosophy of religion or Christian philosophy.

All fellows will receive up to $2,000 reimbursement for moving expenses, as well as up to $2,000 for research-related expenses.
