This one-year teaching fellowship is open to individuals who have been awarded the Ph.D. in geography, psychology, or anthropology after September 1, 2009.

Cooper Union is a private institution offering professional undergraduate education in engineering, art, and architecture along with master’s degrees in architecture and engineering.
The fellowship requires teaching three courses, a sophomore-level core course in each term and an elective course in spring.
The fellow is expected to participate in the work of the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences and of Cooper Union in general – meetings, exhibitions, and other programs – and to give one presentation each term on an issue relevant to the fellow’s own research.
The successful candidate will be an outstanding early-career scholar, with demonstrable skills in teaching and research.
