Opportunities for Visiting Scholars

Heath Professorship
Endowed in honor of John Reardon Heath, Grinnell Class of 1919, who was an active member and President of the Grinnell Board of Trustees and gave steadfast support to Grinnell’s long and continuing engagement with the world, the Heath Professorship bring to Grinnell College the most distinguished international figures for a semester-length stay. Heath Professors teach two courses during their stay (typically one course at the 200-level and one course at the 300-level). Like the International Visiting Fellows, each Heath Professor receives college housing, an office, and a Grinnell email account, along with an honorarium that is competitive with the salaries of Grinnell’s most senior professors.

To bring someone to campus as the Heath Professor, fill out the application form. Typically, applications are reviewed by the Center’s Advisory Board a year in advance of the proposed visit.

Visiting Fellows Program
The International Visiting Fellows program is designed to allow Grinnell faculty to bring scholars and artists from international locations to Grinnell, for a minimum stay of two weeks. Each International Visiting Fellow teaches a short course or course unit within an existing academic department. Fellows also give a public presentation during their stay on campus. This is an excellent way to complement a department’s curriculum and to introduce students to a scholar or artist who works outside the United States. International Visiting Fellows frequently state how much they enjoy discussion with Grinnell students and appreciate the opportunity to pursue scholarly writing in the tranquil environment of Grinnell’s campus.

Each International Visiting Fellow receives a college apartment, an office, and a Grinnell email account, and the Center sponsors at least one banquet to welcome the Fellow to campus. Fellows receive a generous stipend for each week of teaching.
