Application period for 2027-2028 Faculty Fellows is now OPEN
Applications due date: December 15, 2026.
CHAT offers research fellowships each academic year to faculty in the School of Arts and Sciences at Tufts who are engaged in scholarship in the humanities, humanistic social sciences, and the arts. We particularly invite applications from faculty whose creative or scholarly research is interdisciplinary, interdepartmental, and/or fosters cross-campus dialogue. Tenured faculty, tenure track faculty, and professors of the practice are eligible to apply. Fellows may seek an appointment in conjunction with a scheduled sabbatical leave.
Faculty Fellows will be offered workspace at CHAT and are expected to be in residence for the full academic year. Faculty Fellows receive one or two course releases, which require the support of their department chairs, and may also be eligible for stipends to support research expenses.
Fellows will present their work in a public seminar, participate in workshops and seminars with their cohort, and become full members of CHAT’s intellectual and social community. Fellows are also encouraged to partner with CHAT in organizing events and programming related to their research and to CHAT's annual theme during their year in residence.
Applications consisting of a CV; a 1500-word research proposal; a cover letter outlining the applicant’s goals for the year, including ideas for programming that would relate to their work (e.g., a reading group meeting, an invited speaker, faculty roundtable discussion, etc); and a letter of support from the applicant’s department or program chair, should be submitted to Amanda Pepper, Program Administrator, at amanda.pepper@tufts.edu.
