FULBRIGHT COLLEGE FACULTY FELLOWSHIPS

2018/19

Cambridge Faculty Fellowships (one each) will be awarded for the 2018/19 academic year for Wolfson College and Lucy Cavendish College. Competition for the Wolfson College Fellowship is open to all full-time, tenured or tenure-track Fulbright College faculty members. Competition for the Lucy Cavendish College Fellowship is open to all full-time, tenured or tenure-track female Fulbright College faculty members. The recipients will spend the academic year in residence at Wolfson College or Lucy Cavendish College, Cambridge University. The fellows will receive their full academic year salary from the University of Arkansas and up to $1,500 for shipping and travel costs from Fulbright College.

The fellowships are intended to support the research or creative activity of Fulbright College faculty. There are no length-of-service requirements, and selection for the fellowship will not affect eligibility for Off-Campus Duty assignments. As in the case of Off-Campus Duty Assignments, however, the other faculty and staff of a department are expected to perform the usual duties of the fellowship recipients.

Faculty should submit proposals for this Cambridge Fellowship to their departmental chairs for evaluation. The chair will provide an endorsement memorandum that includes an explanation of how the applicant’s usual duties will be performed in his or her absence.

The chair will forward an original and an electronic copy of the memorandum and proposal to Donna Draper by 4:30 p.m. on Friday, November 3, 2017..

The following guidelines shall be used in preparing proposals for the Wolfson and Lucy Cavendish Faculty Fellowships:

  1. Include a cover page with name and rank of applicant, applicant’s department, and title of proposal.
  1. Provide a general description of the project as well as the specific program of research or creative activity to be undertaken during the fellowship period. The narrative, not to exceed six, double-spaced pages, should be written for an interdisciplinary committee.
  1. Append a brief bibliography of materials and publications relative to the project.
  1. Enclose a current, complete professional résumé.

Within sixty days of returning from Cambridge, the faculty member must submit a brief (two-page) written report of her or his activities and accomplishments during the assignment to the departmental chair and dean of Fulbright College.

Implicit in the acceptance of a Cambridge Faculty Fellowship is the recipient’s agreement to return to the University for at least one year following the end of the fellowship.
