Faculty Fellow
Georgetown University: Medical Center: School of Medicine Location: Washington, DC
Open Date: Mar 13, 2024
Deadline: May 31, 2024 at 11:59 PM Eastern Time Description
The Georgetown - Howard Center for Medical Humanities and Health Justice (MHHJ) invites applications for its Spring 2025 Faculty Fellowship on our annual theme of 'lore.' The Faculty Fellowship, available to Georgetown and Howard faculty only , is an opportunity for faculty whose interdisciplinary research sits at the intersection of humanities and health justice. The recipients are expected to conduct research in health humanities and to produce scholarship anchored in the Washington, DC metropolitan area (District of Columbia, Northern Virginia, Montgomery County, and Prince George's County). As a semester-long fellowship project, proposed research ideas should be fully developed and beyond the discovery phase. Fellowship Outcomes and Outputs The outcomes and outputs of a fellowship award may include, but are not limited to, peer-reviewed articles, public and engaged scholarship, digital materials and databases, oral histories, archival projects, and/or expressive and creative projects. Fellows are expected to organize at least one public-facing workshop, conference, or event during the semester. Fellows may collaborate with the Center's Director of Research and Public Policy in literature review, data analysis, and grant writing and submissions. In short, fellows are encouraged to implement an interdisciplinary research project with the capacity for expansion and aligned to the Center's annual theme, as well as to join an interdisciplinary 'laboratory' environment through collaboration and longitudinal mentorship. Fellows may also be asked to serve on selection and review committees. The stipend amounts and fellow tenure are individually determined according to the needs of the scholars and the Center's ability to meet them. The maximum award amount (salary fringe for course buyouts or unpaid leave) for this fellowship is $30,000. The period of performance is six months (aligning with an academic semester). We encourage applicants to structure their budgets and work plans in ways that best fit their research goals and professional commitments. Applications must be endorsed by the candidate's unit director or department chair.
Terms of position MHHJ Faculty Fellows will retain their regular appointments and salaries. Fellows should also retain their faculty office on their respective campuses and are expected to be in continuous residence in Washington, DC, for the term of the award. Fellows are expected to acknowledge the MHHJ in publications, activities, and events resulting from work supported by the Center. Qualifications
