The fellowship seeks expertise in the sociology of race and ethnicity, sociology of mental health, political sociology, or urban and rural sociology. It provides teaching experience and mentorship while fellows complete their dissertations. Over one year, fellows teach one course each semester, participate in scholarly forums, develop pedagogical skills, and receive professional development for academic careers. The fellowship is non-renewable and runs from August 16, 2027, through May 31, 2028. Fellows receive a $43,260 stipend, $5,000 in travel and professional development support, relocation reimbursement, office space, health benefits, access to Ithaca College and Cornell University libraries, and a dedicated faculty mentor in their program. The role is a full-time, limited-term, non-tenure-track faculty appointment at Ithaca College’s Ithaca, New York campus and is covered by the applicable collective bargaining agreement.

Preference is given to candidates in the final year of dissertation writing who are actively drafting and revising. Candidates with demonstrated commitment to minoritized communities through teaching, service, or research are strongly encouraged to apply. Applications should include an unofficial transcript, a cover letter describing teaching pedagogy and career interest, research agenda and dissertation completion timeline, and contribution to the chosen department’s curriculum; a CV; a proposed course syllabus; and contact information for two references.
