UCR Hellman Fellows

The Hellman Fellowship Program was established at UC Riverside in 2011 through the generosity of Chris and F. Warren Hellman. This valuable program is designed to provide financial support to junior faculty who show capacity for great distinction in their research. Funds awarded are intended as support for research and creative activities that will enhance the individual's progress towards tenure; therefore, prior to receiving a Fellowship, faculty recipients will have served at least two years at the Assistant Professor rank as evidence of their promise of distinction.

The Application Process for the Hellman Fellows Program is administered by the Academic Personnel Office. For additional information, please visit the Hellman Fellowship program or contact the Academic Personnel Office:
