Individual Applications

The Fannie Gaston-Johansson Faculty of Excellence Program (FGJFEP) is devoted to enhancing the diversity of the Faculty at Johns Hopkins University.  While cluster hiring is the key recruitment strategy for the FGJFEP, under rare circumstances, we will consider proposals for individual non-STEM faculty and individuals who will be in administrative leadership positions.  These positions include Department Chairs, Division Directors, and Deans.

Non-STEM Faculty

• These individuals should be able to be more impactful at JHU than elsewhere. That impact could be in their own scholarship (a better scholarly fit here at JHU) or in their impact on the production of students of color obtaining their doctorates.
• Funding would be directed at matching startup.

Faculty for a Leadership Position

• These individuals should be in the hiring process at the time of application.
• Funding would be directed at contributing to startup.
• The individual must submit a cluster proposal in the next cycle.
• Positions include Department Chairs, Division Directors, and Deans

Individual Submission Review

The review process will be led by the Associate Vice Provost for Faculty Diversity who, at each stage of the process, will use appropriate individuals or program review committees to evaluate the submissions and present the selected proposals or individuals to the Academic Affairs Vice Provost Team, Provost, & President Provost for final approval. 

The Associate Vice Provost of Faculty Diversity will provide the recommendations to the Provost and President for a final decision. Divisional leadership will collaboratively construct financial, administrative, and operational commitments for each of the faculty members. 

We will work to provide a decision within a month for each of these applications.
