Stephen Charney Vladeck Junior Faculty Fellowship
Overview
The Stephen Charney Vladeck Junior Faculty Fellowship assists junior NYU faculty in launching or completing substantial research in social justice, healthcare, labor law, labor history, and/or individual rights. The major emphasis of the research should be on urban problems. While the Selection Committee is particularly interested in work focused on New York City, it is not a requirement for consideration. The Fellowship is offered in honor of Stephen Charney Vladeck, who devoted his life to issues of labor, healthcare, social justice, and individual rights.
Each Fellow receives a one-time, non-renewable allocation of research funds in the amount of $26,000. The Fellow must submit a brief final report that outlines the project's status and provides a detailed reconciliation of the spending of the funds one year after the allocation.
The fellowship is awarded in the academic year that follows the application period.
Eligibility
Applicants must be full-time, tenure-track faculty members with the rank of assistant professor or above who have completed at least one year and no more than four years of full-time teaching (or its equivalent) at NYU.
A faculty member may submit only one proposal in a given academic year.
The Selection Committee notifies the winner by the end of April in the awarding year.
Criteria for Selection
-
Relationship between the proposal and the Fellowship’s thematic emphasis areas.
-
Clarity of conceptual definition, sound methodology, and a promise of significant contribution to the applicant’s field.
-
Evidence of strong scholarly potential and commitment to teaching.
-
Strength of evaluation letters.
The 2025 application will open on January 6, 2025 and will be due at the end of March.
