Application/nomination deadline: February 10, 2012

Thanks to the continuing generosity of Peter and Bette Fishbein, Purchase College is pleased to announce the Peter and Bette Fishbein Junior Faculty Research Award for 2012–14. The recipient will receive $4500 to cover costs necessary for undertaking a scholarly research endeavor in one of the liberal arts disciplines. Appropriate expenses include supplies (books, lab expenses), publication-related costs, conferences, travel, and research assistants. The quality of the proposal and the applicant’s previous scholarly record will be considered in making the selection. Priority will be given to new work, and special attention will be given to applicants whose work shows connections with fields outside their own specialty.
