Opportunities for ACM Faculty
ACM provides a variety of opportunities for faculty at ACM colleges to extend their expertise and gain new perspectives.
Grant-funded programs
Positions on ACM off-campus study programs
Faculty at ACM colleges can apply for appointments as Program Directors and Visiting Faculty on ACM programs in Africa, Asia, Europe and the U.S.
Faculty Site Visits Program
Each semester, ACM faculty may apply to participate in a faculty site visit to a consortial off-campus program site. Six faculty have been selected for the inaugural site visit to Florence, Italy in October, 2011. See the Call for Applications for information about the site visit to Chicago in spring 2012.
Conferences and workshops
ACM sponsors a variety of conference and workshops for faculty and staff each year. Many are in connection with grant-funded programs (see above), while others are funded by ACM. In addition, events sponsored by individual colleges are sometimes open to faculty from throughout the ACM. See the ACM calendar for upcoming events.
ACM-University of Chicago Faculty Development Grants
The University of Chicago has generously created an ACM Faculty Development Grant Program to promote interaction between ACM faculty and the University. The five-year program provides grants to support faculty travel and costs associated with brief residencies for research, participation in workshops or seminars, and other activities at the University. See the Call for Proposals for more information.
Faculty travel grants
Grants are available for travel to Japan, the Newberry Library (Chicago), and the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (TN).
Opportunities sponsored by ACM colleges
As available, information will be posted about opportunities sponsored by individual colleges and open to participants from ACM colleges.
