FACULTY AWARDS
The Advanced Research Collaborative (ARC) of The Graduate Center invites tenured and tenure-track scholars both within and outside of CUNY to apply for our Distinguished Faculty Awards.
Broadly defined, the research areas are:
- Race, Migration, & Diversity
- Comparative Studies
- Inequality
- Urbanism and Global Cities
We are particularly interested in projects that can speak to both humanistic and social scientific concern.
Distinguished Awards fall into two categories:
- Distinguished Visiting Scholars: for scholars who are not employed by the City University of New York. A Distinguished Visiting Scholar will receive an office, computer, and access to The Graduate Center’s academic infrastructure. Scholars can stay for one or two semesters, or for a shorter period. Depending on the duration of stay, travel costs to and from the fellowship can be reimbursed for the most economical fare only (up to maximum of $3,000) following the submission of the required documentation.
- Distinguished CUNY Scholars: for tenured and tenure-track faculty at one of the campuses of the City University of New York. A Distinguished CUNY Scholar will receive course buyouts up to a maximum of 3 course releases for one semester.
