Teaching Opportunities
Free Standing Courses, Stuart Tave/Whiting Teaching Fellowships

Deadline: Wednesday, January 13, 2010, 12:00 PM

The Center for Gender Studies is calling for applications by advanced graduate students (ABD by January 31, 2010) to teach one undergraduate course "of their own design". This course can be taught in any of the three quarters of the 2010-11 term. We invite applications for the Stuart Tave and Whiting Undergraduate Teaching Fellowships from all interested Ph.D. students in the Humanities Division. (Students in all divisions are encouraged to apply to the general call to teach a free-standing course in Gender Studies, deadline 3/31/10. See below.)

Applicants will be considered to compete for the Humanities Collegiate Division Stuart Tave and Whiting Undergraduate Teaching Fellowships in the College next year. CGS will recommend up to three applicants who will compete for these fellowships across the Division. Although the first screening will be made by the departments for the Tave and Whiting Fellowships, the final decision will be made by a divisional selection committee who will interview finalists.

Applications should consist of the following:

1. the application form (Word doc | PDF file), including full contact information
2. the student's current CV
3. a course title, a course description, a reading list or the applicant's syllabus
4. A chapter of the student's dissertation.
5. one letter of recommendation from a member of the faculty

Fellows will receive $5,000 for the individual undergraduate course they will teach in the College. This fellowship is for one quarter only. Recipients of these fellowships may not defer the fellowships to a later year.

Submit four (4) copies of the application to:

The Center for Gender Studies
Attn: Stuart Tave/Whiting Fellowship Selection Committee
5733 South University Avenue
Chicago, Illinois 60637

You should ask for the letter of recommendation to be given to you in a sealed envelope; it should then be included in the application. A single copy of the letter will suffice.

No fax or email applications will be accepted.

Notification: The Humanities Collegiate Division will notify the winners of the Stuart Tave and Whiting Undergraduate Teaching Fellowships.
