Hellman Fellows

The Hellman Fellowship Program was established at UCSD in 1995 through the generosity of Chris and Warren Hellman. The program is designed to provide financial support and encouragement to young faculty in the core disciplines who show capacity for great distinction in their research and creative activities. Funds awarded are primarily intended to enhance the individual's progress toward tenure; therefore, faculty would be expected to have served at least two years as an assistant professor, but not yet have been recommended for tenure. A total of $360,000 will be available for awards during the 2008-2009 academic year. In accordance with the wishes of the Hellmans, at least two-thirds [$240,000] will be awarded in the physical sciences, life sciences, and engineering. Up to one-third [$120,000] will be awarded in the arts, humanities, and social sciences.
