Academic Positions

ABD Minority-in-Summer-Residence Program

Position Announcement

Fort Hays State University (FHSU) is interested in attracting minority Ph.D. candidates from several disciplines to teach courses in the institution’s on-campus summer session program.  The purpose of the program is to provide an opportunity for future faculty to experience the amenities and campus life of a regional, comprehensive university during the summer months.  The selected individual benefits from preparing and delivering a summer class while the university gains from hosting a potential future scholar who will acquire a better understanding of what life on a teaching campus is actually like.  

Expectations include teaching one three credit class during the FHSU’s eight-week summer session which begins June 4 and ends July 26.  For most programs, FHSU has established a four day week during the summer session with no classes held on Fridays.  Summer scholars are expected to be in residence during the entire eight-week session and participate in advising, campus activities and professional programming.  Applicants should be in ABD status by the application deadline and a resident of the United States.

Awards funded by the program will include a $3500 stipend and two months residency in the university’s on-campus housing.  During the 2007 Summer Session, we will be accepting applications to teach in all disciplines/programs.  See our website for a complete listing of disciplines/programs at http://www.fhsu.edu/academics/.

For Inquiries and/or Application Forms, please contact: Provost Larry Gould by e-mail at lgould@fhsu.edu or by phone at 785.628.4241

Application Deadline:  April 30, 2007
