Purpose

SCRCS Scholar: A two-year appointment of a faculty member of any rank to undertake activities and initiatives that promote their own professional development and support the work and mission of the CSRCS.

Description

During a two-year appointment, the CSRCS Scholar undertakes activities and initiatives that promote their own professional development and support the work and mission of the CSRCS. Applicants propose professional and scholarly activity conducted under the auspices and with the support of the CSRCS that will achieve shared objectives to promote interdisciplinary research and intercultural learning related to religion, culture, secularity, worldview, lifeways, and/or associated themes.

It is not necessary that an applicant’s established professional record demonstrate accomplishment in the areas in which they wish to work, but applicants should clearly articulate how proposed undertakings will contribute to their ongoing professional development in both the short and medium term.

Scholars receive two course reassignments plus a summer research stipend each year. They are given access to a draw account to develop programming that aligns with their scholarly interests.

The Call for Applications is issued in November of odd-numbered years.
