Poynter Center Non-stipendiary Fellowship

The Poynter Center announces the opportunity for a non-stipendiary fellowship at the Center, starting in August 2012 or later. Scholars who are on sabbatical leave may apply for a non-stipendiary fellowship for either one or two semesters, or for a shorter period if desired. The Fellow will have the use of office space and equipment at the Poynter Center, including a computer with Internet access, and access to IU’s library holdings. The Fellow will be expected to be working on a significant research project in ethics and public life, broadly construed, and to participate in the Center’s annual seminars, lectures, symposia, and the like. The Fellow is encouraged to share work-in-progress with faculty and students at IUB, and is welcome to request occasional seminars at the Poynter Center to present her or his work.

The Fellow must secure her or his own housing in Bloomington during the stay.

Applications are to include:

  1. A letter of application, specifying the requested duration of the visit and the anticipated start date. Letters should include a 1-2 paragraph description of the project’s connection to the Poynter Center’s profile and mission.
  2. A 500 word abstract and a 2-3 page single-spaced description of the applicant’s research project, along with a statement of progress-to-date.
  3. An up-to-date CV.
  4. An external letter of recommendation from a scholar in the applicant’s field, speaking directly to the merits of the proposal, sent directly to the Poynter Center.
  5. The applicant’s contact information (mailing address, email address, phone number).


Applications should be sent to:

Professor Richard B. Miller
Director, Poynter Center for the Study of Ethics and American Institutions

Bloomington, IN 47405
