What Does "Fellow" Mean In The Academic World?

Answer 1

i'm not positive but i think its a member of a certain fellowship.  and these fellowships provide scholarships and research grants to future scholars and leaders in that particular field.

Answer 2

It's a research or teaching position at a university, but it varies hugely depending on the type of fellowship and the institution. You'd better read this:
