University of Utah 2024-25 Tanner Visiting Research Fellowship

One year

The Center provides the the Visiting Fellow a stipend of $70,000 paid directly to the home institution of the fellow. Fellows will also receive use of an office space and library privileges. The University of Utah does not provide fellows with health insurance, stipend for moving costs, parking permits, or gym membership. If you have your stipend paid to your home institution, this usually ensures continuation of your usual employment benefits, provided your institution agrees to this arrangement, or you may purchase health insurance on an individual basis through the University of Utah Benefits Office.

Applications for projects leading to completion of an advanced degree are NOT eligible. Applicants must have Ph.D.s in hand two years prior to August 1, 2024, or by August 1, 2022, to be eligible.

The Tanner Humanities Center will award two visiting fellowships for the academic year 2024-25. Faculty who are independent scholars, as well as those affiliated with colleges and universities, interested in humanistic issues are eligible to apply. Projects in any of the following fields are eligible for support: anthropology and archaeology, communication, history, philosophy, religious studies, ethnic/gender/cultural studies, jurisprudence, history/theory/criticism of the arts, languages, and linguistics, literature, creative writing, historical or philosophical issues in the social and natural sciences, or the professions.

The Center encourages projects that are interdisciplinary and likely to contribute to substantive intellectual exchange among a diverse group of scholars. Visiting fellows may hold other support (sabbatical or other funding) during their fellowship but should note such support in their proposal or cover letter.
