The psychology department welcomes applications for the Gaius Charles Bolin
Fellowships at Williams College. Gaius Charles Bolin was the first Black
graduate of Williams. These fellowships, which honor Gaius Bolin’s legacy,
are two-year residencies at Williams that aim to promote diversity on
college faculties by encouraging graduate students from underrepresented
groups to complete a terminal graduate degree and pursue careers in college
teaching. Two scholars or artists are appointed each year. Fellows devote
the bulk of the first year to the completion of dissertation work—building
their professional portfolios—while also teaching one course as a faculty
member in one of the College’s academic departments or programs. The second
year of residency (ideally with PhD in hand) is spent on academic career
development while again teaching just one course.

The Bolin Fellowships are awarded to applicants from groups
underrepresented in academia and/or in a particular field of scholarship,
who show exceptional promise as scholars, who have an interest in and
capacity for teaching students from groups that have been underrepresented
in higher education, and who are pursuing a career in higher education in
the United States.
