Marilyn Yarbrough Dissertation/Teaching Fellowship
|
Gambier, OH
|
|
| This award is named in honor of the late Marilyn Yarbrough, Kenyon parent and trustee. A legal scholar and university administrator who was a former editor of the Black Law Journal and a member of the Pulitzer Prize Board, Marilyn Yarbrough often addressed gender and racial discrimination in her scholarship and teaching.
In order to encourage such scholars to consider college rather than university teaching, Kenyon College offers the Marilyn Yarbrough Dissertation/Teaching Fellowship. The program is for scholars in the final stages of their doctoral work who need only to finish the dissertation to complete requirements for the Ph.D. We hope the experience of living and working for a year at Kenyon will encourage these fellows to consider a liberal arts college as a place to begin their careers as teachers and scholars.
To apply, candidates should visit the online application site found at http://careers.kenyon.edu A complete application will be composed of 1) a cover letter discussing the applicant’s research and scholarship undertaken, its relevance to the field or discipline, prior teaching experience, and the applicant's eligibility for the fellowship; 2) a Curriculum Vitae; and 3) contact information for three professional recommendations (system will automatically email reference writers). All application materials must be submitted electronically through Kenyon's employment website at http://careers.kenyon.edu
The MYDF search will accept applications from mid-October through Dec. 31.
Eligibility to apply for the Marilyn Yarbrough Dissertation/Teaching Fellowship is limited to those meeting all of the following four criteria who are citizens or nationals of the United States or otherwise "protected individuals" as defined in 8 USC 1324b(a)(3)(B). |
