The Marco Institute for Medieval & Renaissance Studies at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, is pleased to announce a call for applications for its 2026-2027 Lindsay Young Visiting Regional Faculty Fellowships. These short-term fellowships are open to faculty (including junior and non-tenure-track faculty) with terminal degrees at institutes of higher education in Tennessee, the Southeast, and Appalachia, as well as credentialed independent scholars in the region.
Thanks to the generosity of Lindsay Young and the Aslan Foundation, these non-service fellowships are intended to bring scholars from Tennessee and neighboring regions to the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, where they can make use of our extensive research resources in late antique, medieval, Renaissance, and early modern fields to further their research agendas and take part in the intellectual life of the Institute.
The fellowship is typically held for one to four weeks in the spring semester or early summer, and includes a stipend of approximately $750/week, as well as one-time round-trip travel costs to and from Knoxville (up to $500). Preference may be given to those working at institutions in the state of Tennessee. Junior and non-tenure-track faculty are particularly encouraged to apply!
Applications are due by October 30, 2026. For full information and application guidelines,, visit tiny.utk.edu/LYVRF2026 or email marco@utk.edu.
