Residential Fellowship: Crown Center for Middle East Studies, 2023-2024
January 1, 2023
The Crown Center for Middle East Studies invites applications for a
one-year faculty leave residential fellowship for scholars of the
contemporary Middle East and North Africa. The fellowship is open to all
disciplines—particularly politics, economics, history, religion, sociology,
or anthropology—for the 2023–2024 academic year.
Successful applicants must be tenure track or tenured professors (or
equivalent) with a well-established publication record seeking a faculty
leave appointment and interested in engaging in a substantive research or
book project, mentoring the Center’s junior research fellows, and
contributing to the Center’s publications.
Eligibility
The 2023–2024 faculty leave fellowship is open to all faculty members,
tenured and non-tenured, in the ranks of assistant, associate, full, and
emeritus professor (or equivalent) who work on the contemporary Middle East
and North Africa.
Terms
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.
