Endowed Chairs And Professorships
Application Details
The Office of Academic Affairs will notify faculty regarding available Faculty Endowed Chair/Professorships. Awards for each year of the three-year term will be dependent upon the availability of funds. Stipends may be received as additional salary (in which case fringe benefits will be factored in as part of the $5,000 award) or to be used as reimbursement for expenses associated with research/creative endeavors.
The application should consist of the following:
- A current curriculum vita
- A portfolio of your work that reflects your qualifications for the chair/professorship you are applying for (copies of publications, reproductions of creative works, grant reports, etc.)
- An explanation of the goals you would pursue as chairholder
- A letter of support from a colleague who is not a faculty member at USCA who is knowledgeable about your work
The eligibility criteria approved in the April 29, 2008 Faculty Assembly meeting will apply: applicants must be tenured and hold rank at the associate professor or professor levels. The EVCAA will review all applications and may solicit additional evaluations from the Dean/Chair and/or USC Aiken faculty familiar with the applicants work.
