How to Apply to Become a Future Faculty Fellow

Prospective Future Faculty Fellows must have passed the Ph.D. qualifying examination and have a minimum of three semesters left before graduation. A competitive selection process assesses each candidate’s motivation for becoming a faculty member and his or her potential for securing a tenure-track position. Students admitted to the program will receive a travel stipend of $3,000 to attend professional conferences over the course of the program.

The next group of Future Faculty Fellows will be selected in January 2013. To be considered for selection, an application must be received by November 18, 2012. When you apply, the Future Faculty Program (FFP) will request letters of recommendation from your research advisor and one other faculty member. A major change this year, is that the research advisor is required to engage in the mentoring of the Fellow. The research advisor commitment to actively monitor the progress of their Fellow towards preparing to apply for a future faculty position is now required to be explicitly stated on the recommendation letter. Applicants will be notified of selection by January 20, 2013. Selected Fellows must enroll in the one-credit course ENES601 in Spring 2013. This course meets on Thursdays from 4:00-5:15pm.
To Apply, please fill out the form below. After you submit it, you will also need to email a resume and one page personal statement to ffp-apply@umd.edu. The personal statement should explain your motivation to become a faculty member, as well as research accomplishments and any teaching experience.
