Collaborative Humanities Postdoctoral Program (CHPP) at Vanderbilt University

The Collaborative Humanities Postdoctoral Program at Vanderbilt University is a three-year fellowship for recent Ph.D.s in the humanities and humanistic social sciences. Fellows develop research projects, design and teach innovative undergraduate courses, and receive professional training through programming and faculty mentoring. The fellowship provides intellectual space, institutional support, and professional training to enable fellows to shape the future of humanistic study and education. Each fellow is placed in a home academic department or program, ensuring close ties to a discipline, while building expansive networks across Vanderbilt and beyond. The program seeks scholars who approach urgent issues in contemporary life with the interpretive and imaginative tools of the humanities. Teaching opportunities are determined in coordination with the fellow's home unit's chair or director.
