Welcoming new faculty
Forty new ladder faculty members join the FAS for the 2023–24 academic year. Among the new members of the ladder faculty, 29 join the FAS at the assistant professor level and are rising stars in their fields. Another 11 come to Yale with tenure and are highly accomplished leaders in their scholarly disciplines. In addition, 14 new members of the instructional faculty join us on full-time, multi-year appointments.
This cohort represents disciplines ranging from earth and planetary sciences to East Asian languages and literatures; physics to political science; Spanish and Portuguese to statistics and data science; and more.
FAS faculty honored for community leadership
Four faculty members have received the FAS Dean’s Award for Diversity and Belonging, honoring their contributions to the FAS community: Claire Bowern, professor of linguistics; Wendy Gilbert, associate professor of molecular biophysics and biochemistry; Alicia Schmidt Camacho, professor of ethnicity, race, and migration and of American studies; and Rebecca Toseland ’07, senior lecturer in economics. This award recognizes accomplishments in service, teaching, mentoring, and research that have made transformative contributions to inclusion and belonging in the FAS.
