Lindsay Young Visiting Regional Faculty Fellowship<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to the generosity of Lindsay Young and the Aslan Foundation, the Marco Institute offers one or more Lindsay Young Visiting Regional Faculty Fellowships<\/strong> every year.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

These non-service fellowships are intended to bring scholars from Tennessee and neighboring regions to the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, where they can make use of our research resources in late antique, medieval, Renaissance, and early modern fields to further their research agendas and take part in the intellectual life of the Institute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These fellowships are open to all scholars with terminal degrees at all regional institutions of higher education (including non-tenure track faculty), as well as credentialed independent scholars in the area, but preference may be given to faculty teaching in the state of Tennessee. Junior and non-tenure-track faculty are encouraged to apply!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Visiting fellows will have library privileges for the duration of their fellowship, including access to online databases, and are expected to acknowledge the support of the Institute in publications arising from their tenure of the Fellowship. As much as possible depending on the time of year, fellows are also expected to participate in Marco activities and meet with Marco graduate students during their residency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fellowship carries a stipend of approximately $750\/week, and also covers one-time round-trip travel costs to and from Knoxville (up to $500). On-campus housing is currently unavailable, but local hotel rooms are available, as are AirBnb or similar arrangements. Fellows can work with the Marco Program Manager to discuss best options, and Marco can assist you with booking in most cases. (Hotel bookings can be deducted directly from your stipend and paid by Marco, for instance, if you choose that option.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Apply:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The term of the fellowship is typically one to two weeks, to be undertaken between December 1 and July 31. In exceptional circumstances, longer fellowships of up to four weeks may be approved. Applications will be evaluated by the Lindsay Young Fellowship Committee, which will also make final determinations on the duration of the award.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
