Visiting Fellowships
Each year CHI offers up to three visiting fellowships to scholars from outside Penn State. Fellows pursue their own research and writing, while helping to create a vibrant intellectual community. Fellowship applicants must have a PhD or equivalent scholarly credentials along with a record of peer-reviewed work. Emerging scholars as well as senior scholars are encouraged to apply. Applicants from all parts of the world are welcome; U.S. citizenship is not a requirement. CHI also encourages co-applications from groups of two or more people working on a single project.
Financial support for Fellows depends on current salary and rank. Junior Fellowships are usually offered for a two-year period. Junior Fellows teach one course per year, at the graduate or undergraduate level, in a department appropriate to their disciplinary training. Senior Fellowships are offered for one year and carry no teaching obligation. All Fellows receive modest research/travel funding. Currently salaries for all Fellows are approximately $50,000. Applications for Visiting Fellowships are usually announced in the Fall semester, with a deadline in January.
