Apply for
Fellowships

The University of Michigan Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning seeks applications for fellowships in the areas of architectural research, design, and pedagogy. We particularly welcome applications from designers, practitioners, spatial activists and advocates, and researchers focusing on the intersection of race, ethnicity, gender, climate, and the built environment. National and international candidates whose work involves public engagement, those from non-traditional pathways into the study of architecture and the built environment, those hailing from or committed to servicing lesser-resourced contexts, and those seeking to forward teaching and research practices that encourage inclusion are all encouraged to apply.
