Faculty Fellows
The fellows program with the Biggio Center recognizes the teaching excellence & leadership of faculty who want to share their passion and interest in teaching and learning with colleagues across the campus. The position offers the possibility of renewal for up to 3 years based on funding and performance.
The long-term goal of this program is to engage faculty from all colleges, departments, and schools. As such, disciplinary diversity is of utmost importance in our selection criteria as is previous experience with Biggio Center programs such as the Summer Course (Re)Design seminar. Currently, our programming goals center on the development of the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning culture at Auburn so faculty with SoTL experience are especially encouraged to apply.
We are particularly interested in applications from faculty who come from colleges that are not currently represented; however, we will consider candidates from all colleges and departments.
