Faculty Fellows

College of Arts and Science faculty have many opportunities to receive support and rewards for their innovative work—at the college and university level—at every point in their career.

Dean's Faculty Fellows

Fellows are selected by a committee from among many highly competitive nominations for their scholarly accomplishments and the promise they show to make an impact in their respective fields. They hold the title for two years and receive additional support for their research. View the list of recipients.

Chancellor Faculty Fellows

Arts and Science faculty are frequent recipients of the university's esteemed Chancellor Faculty Fellowships each year. Vanderbilt is committed to supporting and retaining outstanding faculty who have recently received tenure. By investing in a select group of younger scholars from across the campus, Chancellor Faculty Fellowships not only advance their careers at a critical time, but also provide a forum for them to share their academic interests with others on campus that build and enrich our One Vanderbilt community. Learn more about the program, and see a list of A&S Chancellor's Faculty Fellows.
