Hiram Dissertation Fellowship for Minority Scholars

Hiram College is a private, coeducational, residential, selective liberal arts college located in northeast Ohio. The Dissertation Fellowship position is modeled on the successful example of similar positions at other residential liberal arts colleges. Candidates must be in the late stages of a research-based doctoral program, needing only to complete a dissertation. The area of dissertation research may be in any liberal arts discipline, but preference will be given to a discipline strongly connected with academic programs at Hiram. Candidates must be citizens of the United States, and members of one of the following minority groups: Alaska Natives, Black/African Americans, Native American Indians, Native Pacific Islanders, Hispanic. The Hiram Dissertation Fellow will be expected to complete her/his dissertation and to teach half-time (normally three courses per year). The initial appointment will be for one year, with the possibility of continuation for up to two additional years. Fellows are also expected to deliver two College-wide lectures each year and to participate in the life of the College and the community.
