Faculty applications being accepted for new interdisciplinary research fellows program

A new interdisciplinary research fellows program is being sponsored by the Office of the Executive Vice President for Research and Partnerships.

The Faculty Leadership Academy for Interdisciplinary Research (FLAIR) Fellows Program complements and interfaces with the Office of the Provost’s INSIGHTS program, which provides faculty training across the broad spectrum of academic leadership. The FLAIR program concentrates on training in building, coordinating and directing large research efforts including interdisciplinary and, in some cases, international programs and centers.

Associate and full professors are eligible for the Fellows Program, which includes two semesters of training starting in spring 2019, biweekly two-hour meetings and support for relevant travel. The program is designed to equip faculty with the skills and resources they need to effectively lead large, multidisciplinary research teams, centers and research-centric administrative offices.

Applications should be submitted to Merissa Kessler at kessler7@purdue.edu by Nov. 20. More details about the program and the application are available here. For questions or more information, contact Marietta Harrison at harrisom@purdue.edu.
