This program prepares doctoral students to teach where the teaching jobs are. Participation in the program presents an opportunity to gain significant independent but mentored teaching experience in new academic environments. Opportunities may also be available for placement at independent colleges in Indiana.
Assistance is provided in finding affordable living accommodations.
The number of Future Faculty Teaching Fellowships and the academic fields in which openings are available are determined by the faculty needs of the host campuses. The selection process is competitive and will include interviews with departments at the host campuses. Applicants are often asked whether they have classroom experience in this kind of environment. Associate Instructor teaching experience at Bloomington does not necessarily prepare students fully for these job opportunities. For these reasons the Graduate School has developed the Future Faculty Teaching Fellowship Program, funded by the Graduate School and the University through the Strategic Directions Charter.
