The architecture fellowships at Taubman College are among the oldest and most recognized positions of their kind, offering early career opportunities for individuals seeking to pursue significant development of their work within an intellectually wide-ranging and dynamic academic setting. Each fellowship entails teaching related to the candidate's area of interest, resources for the development of work, possibilities to interface with scholars and researchers in the wider university context, and the opportunity to share the outcome of the fellowship with the college. Fellows spend two years in residence, typically teaching three classes in their first year and four in their second, in addition to pursuing their fellowship project. Public dissemination of fellowship work takes place in the winter of the first fellowship year.
These fellowships are not intended to support dissertation completion or post-doctoral stays, and do not serve as a pipeline for tenure-track positions at the institution. While these are not post-doctoral fellowships, applications of recent doctoral graduates committed to design education will be considered. Candidates from a variety of backgrounds, training, and perspectives are encouraged to apply.
The three areas of interest for the fellowships offered are:
Research
Research focused on aspects of the social, formal, environmental, political, and aesthetic concerns that form the framework of contemporary and historical perspectives regarding architecture and urban issues.

Despite evidence of effective environmental solutions to social injustice, a distinct gap remains in the research addressing the implementation of such solutions.
Well-designed landscape architecture solutions can foster improved socioeconomic, physical health, mental health, and well-being by providing public spaces derived from the desires, traditions, and strengths of engaged community members. Thus, we welcome potential faculty members to join with our faculty and students in addressing inequities as we shape the world.
Teaching duties may include landscape design studios (graduate and undergraduate), foundations, ecology, technical issues in landscape design (e.g., site analysis, media, planting design), productive landscapes (agriculture, forestry, food forests) as well as courses related to community engagement, spatial justice, food sovereignty, and design for a sustainable world.
The 9-month academic year salary comes with a generous benefits package. Typically, tenure-track faculty members teach five 11-week courses or studios per year (slightly less than the semester equivalent of four courses per academic year). New faculty members have a reduced teaching load of four 11-week courses per year for two years. Teaching, research, and service are 40%, 40%, and 20% of the workload, respectively. Faculty often serve as advisors for students, but most advising is provided by advising staff members.

National Park Service / Mellon Humanities Postdoctoral Fellowship
The NPS Mellon Humanities Postdoctoral Fellowship Program places recent humanities PhDs with NPS sites and programs across the agency. In collaboration with NPS staff and partners, the incoming cohort of fifteen (15) Fellows will contribute to planning and preparation for America at 250, an initiative inspired by the semi-quincentennial of the Declaration of Independence. This event provides an opportunity for the NPS to tell a more inclusive story of the American past and present. The NPS is committed to exploring the full complexity of our history, even if that history is uncomfortable, contested, or erased. The humanities research supported by this Fellowship will expand these efforts, encouraging creative approaches to documentation, interpretation, and outreach.
Fellows will work with NPS mentors as well as scholars and community partners from outside the agency to design and implement a plan for conducting research and sharing results with varied audiences. This includes the collaborative development of novel interpretive and educational projects. Up to twenty percent of each Fellow’s time will be dedicated to advancing their own career-centered scholarly projects. The Fellows will be integrated into a larger, dynamic cohort for learning and professional development opportunities, guided by internal and external mentors in topics such as digital humanities, public humanities, and engaging with difficult histories.
This opportunity is generously supported by The Mellon Foundation through the National Park Foundation (NPF). The project is administered via a three-way agreement between NPS, National Park Foundation, and American Conservation Experience (ACE). A pilot phase of the program launched in 2018 with three fellows working across broad thematic areas including gender and sexuality, the history of civil rights, commemoration, and labor studies. An expanded cohort of 15 fellows in 2023-2025 will have an even greater impact, advancing the NPS education mission through new scholarship in the humanities.
