ACES Faculty Fellows Program announcement
The Department of Global Languages and Cultures at Texas A&M University invites applications for the Accountability, Climate, Equity, and Scholarship (ACES) Faculty Fellows Program. Applications are welcome from scholars with a strength in, and evidence of, a respect for diversity and inclusion. The Department of Global Languages and Cultures brings together faculty and curricula in the areas of Hispanic Studies, Modern Languages, Classics, Religious Studies, Africana Studies, and Global Studies, with research and teaching expertise in linguistic, cultural, literary, language, and media studies.
The ACES Faculty Fellows Program promotes the research, teaching, and scholarship of early career scholars who embrace the belief that diversity is an indispensable component of academic excellence. From this experience at Texas A&M, fellows should develop an understanding of the value of diversity and inclusion and the power that it holds for students, faculty, and staff to enrich their lives. As a public, land-grant, Hispanic-serving (HSI) research university, Texas A&M upholds its responsibility to accountability, campus climate, equity, and scholarship by maintaining a campus that affirms equity and fosters inclusion and belonging. ACES Assistant Professors are afforded access to invaluable academic and professional development experiences to advance their careers as scholars. The objective is for ACES Assistant Professors to transition to tenure-track faculty by the end of the fellowship. ACES Assistant Professors will benefit from: prescriptive mentoring, access to instructional best practices, a vast array of world-class research and productivity resources, and a robust network of renowned Texas A&M scholars from across disciplines.
Texas A&M University’s ACES Faculty Fellows Program is an up to two-year (24 month) fellowship for early career PhDs. Applicants’ degrees should be completed no more than four years from the time of application. Applicants should have earned their doctoral degrees (PhD) between January 1, 2019 and July 1, 2023. Faculty are hired as ACES Assistant Professors with the expectation of transitioning to tenure track (pending departmental review) by the end of the fellowship period.
