Aim and Benefits of Faculty Leave Fellowship

The faculty leave fellowship is an academic year appointment beginning September 1, 2023 and ending May 31, 2024. The fellowship is designed to supplement the scholar’s faculty leave salary from their institution and will provide a stipend plus funding for research, travel, and related expenses. The fellowship stipend is set at three levels based on academic rank (or rank equivalency based on scholarly attainment): $40,000 for assistant professor or career equivalent; $50,000 for associate professor or career equivalent; and $70,000 for full professor, emeritus, or career equivalent. The Crown Center will determine the level based on the candidate’s rank or equivalent rank as of the application deadline. Fringe benefits, when not provided by the scholar’s home institution, can be made available during the appointment period.

Fellows are required to be in residence at the Crown Center during the tenure of the fellowship and be fully relieved of teaching and service responsibilities at their home university. During their residence, fellows contribute to the Center’s publications and participate in all Crown Center events, including seminars, workshops, meetings, and retreats.
