At the University of Chicago, Harper-Schmidt Fellows join the Society of Fellows in the Liberal Arts on campus, where they teach first-year courses in the Humanities Core and receive excellent compensation, considerable research support and mentorship, and regular opportunities for social and professional fellowship both within the program and with other colleagues on campus.
Our upcoming deadline for applications is October 15, 2024.
Organizers are eager to receive as many promising applications as possible and will gladly consider candidates in all humanities-related fields.
Although many UChicago Humanities Core instructional sequences feature more-or-less set reading lists, successful applicants do not always need to have conventional expertise in the specific texts and topics currently taught. Rather, applicants are welcomed from a wide variety of disciplinary backgrounds, bringing conceptual and methodological creativity and skill to the teaching of general education courses while also contributing to the university research community.
If you are familiar with the application process from previous years, please note that organizers recently revised the list of materials required for the initial application stage to make this first step as simple as reasonably possible.
For more details about the program and to submit an application, please see the Society of Fellows application website: https://fellows.uchicago.edu.
Please direct any questions you may have about the position to fellows@uchicago.edu.
