Faculty

Number of Faculty Staff	Headcount: 3,491 FTE: 3,072
Total number of academic faculty staff who are responsible for planning, directing and undertaking teaching only, research only or both teaching and research. Please include: vice-chancellors, deputy vice-chancellors, principals, professors, heads of school, associate professors, principal lecturers, tutors or postdoctoral researchers. Please exclude research assistants*, PhD students who contribute to teaching, hospital residents and exchange scholars or visiting faculty staff who are members of another university. * The important distinction for us is that staff counted as 'research only' should be academically involved in that research and should be likely to publish research outputs. A research assistant, in our understanding, is any individual who is not doing own research and is therefore not likely to publish own research outputs. Said individual is (only) involved in research in terms of operation execution , such as lab technician or equipment operator.

Number of academic faculty staff who are of foreign nationality. The term 'international' is hereby determined by citizenship. For EU countries, this includes all foreign nationals, even if from another EU state. In Hong Kong, this includes professors from Mainland China. Inclusion and exclusion mirrors those for academic faculty staff. In case of dual citizenship, the 'deciding' criteria should be 'citizenship obtained through birth', basically first passport obtained.

Kings College Fellowships. 2 available @ USD 18,500

These fellowships are normally held by fourth-year students, or sometimes fifth-year. They cover tuition, fees, and a stipend of $18,500 in exchange for service to Penn's undergraduate study-abroad program at Kings College.

Note that housing arrangements may be available through Kings or other housing offices with which the Undergraduate Chair has made special arrangements. But to be eligible for such housing you probably need to give an early commitment, perhaps by May or June. In the past, most of our Kings Fellows have found good housing situations by looking around on their own, though this has made for some anxious days and weeks upon arrival in London, where the housing market is notoriously tight.

Specialisation
English

Application Process
If you are interested in applying for one of these fellowships, contact the Undergraduate Chair by January of the year before.

Thouron Award. 5 available @ USD 0

The Thouron University of Pennsylvania British-American Exchange Program exists
for the promotion of better understanding and friendship between the people of the United Kingdom of
Great Britain and those of the United States of America and has funded the graduate education of more
than 600 U.S. and British students since its inception in 1961. It enables approximately five new students
a year from the University of Pennsylvania to pursue a degree program or its equivalent at any British institution.
Seniors and full-time students in any of the graduate/professional schools and recent graduates of
the University of Pennsylvania are eligible to apply. Recipients of the award are selected on the basis of outstanding
academic and personal qualities. The Thouron Award provides full tuition and fees, plus a generous
monthly stipend for living expenses. Thouron Awards are granted for one or two years depending on
the time required to earn a particular degree. The second year of funding is dependent on reports of satisfactory
progress after the first year. For programs expected to last more than two years, Thouron Fellows
must seek other support for the third and subsequent years. Applicants must seek admission to a British
institution independently. Thouron Awards may not be used to support dissertation research for University
of Pennsylvania doctoral degrees.

For further information, please contact Clare Cowen at the Center for Undergraduate Research and
Fellowships, see the website at http://www.upenn.edu/curf, or write to the International Programs Office,
133 Bennett Hall, Philadelphia, PA 19104.
