Renowned as a global leader in innovative teaching, research, and public service, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill stands as one of the nation’s top public universities. Beyond its accolades for a stunning campus, world-class medical care, and commitment to the arts, Carolina boasts a vibrant culture of interdisciplinary exchange and collaboration. This unique atmosphere extends beyond the classroom and into the very structure of the university and its interactions with other organizations. From top-tier athletic programs to its prestigious academic environment, Carolina offers an ideal setting for both work and learning, where synergy of diverse disciplines thrives.The Chancellor’s Office is committed to providing fellows with a wide range of professional training opportunities for career growth and skill development. Whether fellows aspire to continuing in higher education or pursue careers in other industries, the fellowship provides fellows with many opportunities to explore and expand their skillset. Additionally, UNC-Chapel Hill offers full-time employees a comprehensive benefits package, paid leave, and a variety of additional programs that support a healthy work/life balance, all of which are accessible to fellows during their time here.

The Chancellor’s Office is responsible for carrying out policies of two governing boards: the UNC System’s Board of Governors and the University’s Board of Trustees.

The Chancellor’s Office maintains wide discretion in decision-making with regard to student affairs (subject to policies of the governing boards) and other aspects of the administration of the University, as provided under the General Statutes of North Carolina and the UNC Code.
