Applications

Fellowship applications are accepted from both tenured and untenured faculty as well as from recent Ph.D.s without a tenure-track position and professors emeriti. Where appropriate, applications are accepted from independent artists, documentary film-makers, and writers.

Fellows are awarded stipends of $45-60,000 depending on rank and experience. In addition, a moving allowance of up to $1000 is offered, dependent upon need. University of Michigan health benefits are available although fellows are encouraged to bring their own health insurance with them.

Applications are impartially reviewed by the Institute’s Steering Committee and at least two external evaluators drawn from the Institute’s Academic Advisory Board.
