In 2022, EPIC (Emeritus Professors in Columbia) established the Douglas Chalmers Graduate Scholars Lectureship to elevate scholarship and promote vibrant exchange between young researchers and retired faculty. The Lectureship provides doctoral candidates preparing to defend their dissertations, post-docs, medical doctors, and legal scholars with an opportunity to make a presentation on their research to a cross-disciplinary audience of educators and scholars ready to listen carefully and ask probing questions. The presentations, which run 45 minutes with time for questions, offer doctoral students and post-docs a useful learning experience and allow EPIC members to learn about topics beyond their scholarly interests. EPIC Graduate Scholars are awarded a $1,500 honorarium and broad recognition within the University community.
The application requirements are listed on the following flyer as well as on the EPIC website (https://professorsemeritus.columbia.edu/lectureship).
