Job description |
Heterodox Academy (HxA) is a non-partisan, non-profit organization that advances the principles of open inquiry, viewpoint diversity, and constructive disagreement to improve higher education and academic research. With an international membership of over 7,000 professors and other academic insiders, HxA helps colleges and universities live up to their highest ideals — and resist the destructive temptations of groupthink and tribalism. Working for change in higher education, HxA communicates and engages with faculty, students, administrators, philanthropists, journalists, and the general public; develops research, tools, trainings, and events; and facilitates online and on-campus communities. Thanks to the generous support of the Mike and Sofia Segal Foundation, the Templeton Religion Trust and other donors, HxA is pleased to announce a call for residential faculty research fellowships at the Segal Center for Academic Pluralism. The Segal Center hosts researchers to explore and disseminate research insights concerning the philosophy, law, history and science (broadly construed) of open inquiry, viewpoint diversity, and constructive disagreement in higher institutions of research and education. For further details on what precise areas we are interested in, please visit the fellowship advertisement at our website at https://heterodoxacademy.org/jobs/segal-center-faculty-research-fellowship-call-for-applications/ Faculty Research Fellows are awarded up to $100,000 as part of their fellowship, which funds may be used for course buyouts, to supplement a Fellow’s existing salaries, or to hire research personnel (such as a graduate assistant) to help with the proposed research; however, this award cannot be used for fringe benefits, which should continue to be supported by the Fellow’s home institution. Fellows will also receive office space in CAP’s office in Manhattan for their use and a generous budget, over and above the $100,000 cap, for research costs. We offer two fellowship lengths.
Applicants must state their preference for either a full-year or half-year fellowship in their application materials. Faculty Fellows will be expected to:
