LSA Collegiate Fellows will receive a starting salary of $68,000* plus benefits, as well as funds for conference and research expenses, for up to two years. During the fellowship, Fellows will devote their time to pursuing their independent research, as well as participate in pedagogical development activities such as the LSA Teaching Academy and classroom teaching/engagement. All LSA Collegiate Fellows will also be offered a tenure-track position to commence immediately after the fellowship period. Based on the level of preparation, in some cases candidates will be hired through this program directly to tenure-track positions.
Regardless of whether scholars begin with a fellowship or are hired directly to the tenure track, tenure-track offers will include competitive salary, research support, and benefits appropriate to assistant professors in the relevant department(s).
*Thanks to generous alumni support, the Department of Economics is able to provide a supplement to the standard Collegiate Fellows salary to their Fellows.
Predoctoral fellowships may be available in Economics and Political Science, in which case the doctoral degree must be completed by July 1, 2025. If approved, predoctoral fellows will receive a starting salary of $50,000 plus benefits.
All Fellows are expected to be in residence during the academic year and to engage in departmental seminars and related activities. Fellows will also receive career advising from a departmental mentor during their fellowship.
Additionally, the National Center for Institutional Diversity (NCID) provides cohort- and program-based activities designed to support Fellows’ scholarship and professional development, while building a community of scholars that has a commitment to issues of DEI. This support is provided through the tenure-track period.
