The McHarg Fellowship is a teaching and research fellowship award given by The Ian L. McHarg Center for Urbanism and Ecology to an emerging voice in landscape architecture and its related fields. The Fellowship is awarded competitively on an annual basis and the selected fellow is expected to be in residence at the University of Pennsylvania Weitzman School of Design, in Philadelphia, full-time for one academic year, from the beginning of the Fall semester (August) through the end of the following Spring semester (May).

The purpose of the Fellowship is to create a unique opportunity for an emerging professional and/or academic who would benefit most from support to conduct research, to teach, and to be mentored by faculty during the term of the fellowship. The award includes $74,000 paid as salary to the fellow and an additional $4,000 awarded as a discretionary stipend for travel, research, and exhibition-related expenses.

Housed in the Department of Landscape Architecture at the University of Pennsylvania Stuart Weitzman School of Design, The Ian L. McHarg Center for Urbanism and Ecology was launched in 2019 as a transdisciplinary platform for collaborative research supporting the future of life on Earth. The Center funds and broadcasts original scholarly research; convenes students, faculty, and practitioners; and awards the annual McHarg Fellowship. It adheres to the values set forward by the Inclusion and Belonging commitment of the Weitzman School of Design. Apply here: https://apply.interfolio.com/156393
