GRADUATE COLLEGE SCHOLARS' PROGRAM
- The UIUC
Research Board provides support for research in response to applications submitted by
members of the faculty or academic professional staff. In 1984, the Graduate College,
through the Research Board, initiated a program of limited appointments for academically
qualified persons as Graduate College Scholars to permit these individuals to continue
research, scholarship, and creative work in an academic environment. The Program is part
of a campus effort to address the problems in recruiting and retaining highly qualified
faculty and professional staff due to limited local career opportunities for dual-career
couples.
-
- The Graduate Scholars' Program is open to members of
dual-career couples whose residence in the Urbana-Champaign community depends on
professional opportunities for both members within the University. One of the members must
be a faculty member or be under consideration for either a tenured or tenure-track faculty
position at the University. To be eligible, applicants must have academic credentials of
UIUC faculty caliber, have received the terminal degree normally required of faculty in
that discipline, and have the endorsement of the head of a UIUC academic unit relevant to
the potential Scholar's discipline. Applicants may have a current University appointment
other than a tenure-track or tenured faculty appointment. The extent to which any current
departmental affiliations already provide necessary support will be considered in the
decision process.
-
- A Scholar usually receives a zero-percent appointment
through an academic department and/or the Graduate College. Scholars may be considered by
the Research Board for grants of seed money (up to $5000, one-time grant) and may apply
for external support with the endorsement of the University. Scholars also have access to
computer time, an electronic mail account, faculty library privileges, a campus mailbox,
telephone answering service, and office or laboratory space as negotiated.

- Contact the UIUC Campus Research Board
(217-333-0030) for
more information and application materials.
