The Fellow will teach three courses (on a 2/1 or 1/2 basis) during the 2021-2022 and 2022-2023 academic years, participate in faculty meetings, maintain office hours, mentor students, and continue to pursue research and publication.

Fellows will receive an annual stipend of $38,000, college housing (if desired), and a comprehensive benefits package including group medical, dental, vision, life and disability, TIAA-CREF, and tuition remission.
