Close announcement

The Belmont University Fellows Program provides a unique and valuable opportunity to increase hands-on teaching experience among future faculty. The fellowship focuses on professionals who recently completed their doctoral or equivalent terminal degree and desires to teach at a Christ-centered teaching-focused university. To support this, Fellows will be recruited based on their academic and professional accomplishments in their discipline. This two-year program allows for the Belmont Fellow to be mentored by a Faculty Mentor at Belmont University in the development and delivery of rigorous courses while engaging in a research program involving Belmont University students. The intent is to help develop the pipeline for faculty to transition from graduate research at “R1” institutions into teaching-research positions at institutions like Belmont.
