Office of the Provost - Wayne State University

a piece of paper saying deadline extended!

The Office of the Provost will extend the 2023-24 Career Development Chair Award deadline to Friday, Jan. 20, 2023. Up to ten awards will be made as part of the University’s program to support outstanding, tenured faculty members working toward promotion to Professor. As such, nominations will generally be of faculty members who have earned tenure and been promoted to associate professor within the last four years. More information about the program, application materials, and submission instructions can be found in our guidelines.

Each chair is supported by an award of $19,000 to be distributed as follows: a $2,500 honorarium for the chairholder; $10,000 in unrestricted research support, which may include equipment, supplies, research assistance, or a summer stipend for the chairholder consistent with University policies; and $6,500 for use in engaging part-time faculty to cover up to half of the chairholder’s normal annual teaching assignment.

The term of the chair is for the 2023–24 academic year. A nine-month faculty member may, at their option, use the unrestricted research support for summer salary support in either the preceding or succeeding Spring/Summer Term or a combination of both. Questions about this award can be forwarded to our office.

We hope to read your application soon!
