Eligibility

The Research Scholars' Program is open to members of dual-career couples whose residence in the Urbana-Champaign community depends on professional opportunities for both members within the University. One of the members must be, or under consideration for, either a tenured or tenure-track faculty position at the University. To be eligible, applicants must have academic credentials of UIUC faculty caliber, received the terminal degree normally required of faculty in that discipline, and endorsement of the head of a UIUC academic unit relevant to the potential scholar's discipline.

Applicants may have a current University appointment other than a tenure-track or tenured faculty appointment. The extent to which any current departmental affiliations already provides necessary support will be considered in the decision process.
