CPPS 2008-2009 Faculty Fellowship
The Center for Principled Problem Solving is seeking letters of interest from Guilford College faculty members for the 2008-2009 CPPS Faculty Fellowship.
The CPPS Faculty Fellowship offers individual faculty members the opportunity to advance the work of principled problem solving at Guilford over the course of an academic year. During that period, the fellowship recipient works directly with the CPPS Director to shape and advance the priorities of the Center and to advance a PPS project of her or his choosing. The fellowship project will be consistent with the faculty member’s experience and interests and developed in conversation with the Center Director. Possible projects may include but are not limited to a targeted hands-on PPS project, a PPS research undertaking, creating new or retooling existing syllabi to match PPS priorities, PPS faculty seminar development. This project may be completed during the fellowship term or become an on-going or occasional feature of the Center’s future efforts.
This is a part-time appointment, roughly the equivalent of one day per week. The individual selected for the fellowship will be released from one course in either the fall or spring semester and receive $5,000 in additional pay. Funds will be made available to the fellowship recipient’s department to compensate for the course release and he or she will have access to additional funds for programming, materials or travel expenses related to the fellowship project. One recipient will be selected for 2008-2009 by the CPPS Director in conversation with the relevant Division Chair and with the approval of the Academic Dean.
Those interested in being considered for this position should submit a letter of interest directly or by email to the CPPS Director, Mark Justad, by March 31st, 2008. The letter of interest should include one’s reasons for seeking the fellowship, indication of relevant interests and experience, and an initial description of a project to be undertaken during the fellowship.
It is anticipated that the selection process will be completed no later than April 15th, 2008.
Questions should be directed to Mark Justad at justadmj@guilford.edu or the office phone number below.
