| Full Description |
During their time at Vanderbilt, CHPP fellows pursue research projects, design and teach undergraduate courses, craft professional skills, and receive active faculty mentoring. Each fellow is placed in a home academic department or program, and teaching opportunities are determined in coordination with that unit’s chair/director. The program offers fellows the opportunity to build research profiles, expand intellectual networks within Vanderbilt and beyond, and hone their teaching expertise.
Fellowships are up to three years, with annual renewals, beginning August 16, 2026, through the end of spring 2029. Fellows will receive a salary of at least $61,008, benefits, $3,000 in research funds, and $1,000 for one-time relocation bonus to Nashville when applicable.
