Application Details
Faculty are invited to submit applications for the following endowed chairs/professorships. Appointments will begin in the Fall 2023 term.
Awards for each year of the three-year term will depend on availability of funds. Stipends may be received as additional salary (in which case fringe benefits will be factored in as part of the $5,000 award) or as reimbursement for expenses associated with research/creative endeavors.
The application should consist of the following:

The eligibility criteria approved in the April 29, 2008 Faculty Assembly meeting will apply: applicants must be tenured and hold rank at the associate professor or professor levels.
The EVCAA will review your materials and may solicit evaluations from the chair/dean of your department/school and/or from other USC Aiken colleagues who are familiar with your work.
