The fellowship is renewable for up to two years, for a total of 3 years. We seek a teacher-scholar who is committed to teaching highly motivated undergraduates at all levels of the curriculum.

In addition to quality teaching, the successful candidate should have a research program with the potential to produce publications that will impact our discipline. We seek applicants whose teaching and research has prepared them to contribute to Villanova’s values of veritas, unitas, and caritas. |
