Twenty assistant professors have been awarded Junior Faculty Fellowships by the University for the 2006-2007 academic year, Yale College Dean Peter Salovey has announced.
The purpose of these fellowships is to give selected junior faculty members an opportunity to engage in scholarly work without any obligation to teach or to undertake any other academic duties. Holders of Junior Faculty Fellowships are supported up to the full amount of their nine-month salary.
"These fellowships signal the University's admiration and gratitude for selected junior facultys' work to date, and to encourage future work," said Salovey.
Candidates are nominated by their departments and must submit proposals outlining their plans for scholarly effort if they are awarded a fellowship. Selections are made by faculty committees in the humanities (Morse Fellowships), natural sciences and social sciences.
This year's recipients and their departments are:
Fellowships in the Natural Sciences: Scott Holley, molecular, cellular and developmental biology; Hur Koser, electrical engineering; and Ann Valentine, chemistry;
Fellowships in the Social Sciences: Khalilah Brown-Dean, political science; Averil Clarke, sociology; Richard Eibach, psychology; Jeremy Gray, psychology; Douglas Mennin, psychology; Alondra Nelson, sociology; Glenn Schafe, psychology; and Rachel Sherman, sociology.
Morse Fellowships in the Humanities: Tanya Agathocleous, English; Alexander Beecroft, comparative literature; Aaron Gerow, East Asian languages and literatures; Mokhtar Ghambou, English; Jill Lane, American studies; Hala Nassar, Near Eastern languages and civilizations; Naomi Pabst, African American studies; Nicole Rice, English; and Francesca Trivellato, history.
