Professor Emeritus Heanon Wilkins was Miami University’s first full-time African-American faculty member. A distinguished professor of Spanish & Portuguese and Black World Studies, Professor Wilkins received Miami’s highest honors in teaching, research, and service and we honor him with the Wilkins Fellows program. The Wilkins Fellows program provides a culturally diverse faculty with mentoring, a salary equivalent to that of a Miami University faculty member at the same rank (instructor or visiting assistant professor), $3000-$5000 for research-related expenses, the potential of obtaining a future tenure-track faculty position at Miami University, and an opportunity to live and work in a welcoming community of enthusiastic scholars. During the 15-week (one semester) or 9-month (two-semester, full academic year) appointment, Wilkins Fellows conduct research and enjoy a reduced teaching load (one or two courses per semester).

Miami University welcomes candidates who have nearly completed (e.g. ABD) or completed their doctorate or equivalent degree within the last four years. Desirable qualifications include the ability to contribute in significant ways to Miami’s diversity-related initiatives.

Applications should include a letter of application, curriculum vitae, a statement of proposed research (one to five pages) indicating area or discipline, and sample scholarship. Three letters of reference are required, including one from the dissertation advisor. Applications should be submitted to: Heanon Wilkins Faculty Fellowship Program, 203 Roudebush Hall, Miami University, Oxford, OH 45056. For more information contact: Michael R. Stevenson, Ph.D., Assistant to the President for Institutional Diversity, 513-529-6722; stevenmr@muohio.edu. Application deadline for Spring 2006 is October 1, 2005; Deadline for Fall 2006 is March 1, 2006. Awards will be announced in November 2005 and April 2006.
