The Future Faculty Program (FFP) is being introduced to increase the number of Clark School Ph.D. graduates who obtain academic positions--in particular faculty positions in prestigious engineering schools. In addition, the program is intended to improve the preparation of students for academic careers so that they can better succeed once they obtain such a position.

Students admitted to the program will be designated as Future Faculty Fellows and will receive a supplementary stipend of $10,000 over the course of the program. This is in addition to other financial support they may have. It is anticipated that the program will be highly selective. Fellows will be chosen based on motivation for becoming a faculty member and potential for securing a tenure-track faculty position at a top-50 engineering school.

The FFP consists of a sequence of three one-credit training seminars, a teaching practicum and a research mentoring practicum. Typically, the participant will undertake the teaching practicum and research mentoring practicum after completing all of the training seminars. However, if there is insufficient time until graduation, the student can do one or both of the practicums in parallel with the final seminar. The program takes between 3 and 5 semesters to complete depending on the timing of the practicums.
