Dartmouth College invites applications for Postdoctoral Fellowships at the Society of Fellows. These fellowships foster the academic careers of scholars who have recently received their Ph.D. degrees by permitting them to pursue their research while gaining mentored experience as teachers and members of the departments and/or programs in which they are housed. We are particularly interested in scholars whose research is innovative and transcends traditional disciplinary divides. Applications will be accepted in the various fields of humanities, social sciences, sciences, interdisciplinary programs, engineering, business and medicine.

Society Postdoctoral Fellows:

• participate in the activities of the Society, including presenting their own work and engaging with the work of others
• hold an appointment as a Lecturer in a department or program as well as Postdoctoral Fellow in the Society; this appointment is not tenure-track
• teach two courses over the course of the three-year fellowship
• are in residence for the fall, winter, and spring terms
• receive training in teaching via the Dartmouth Center for the Advancement of Learning (DCAL)
• are not asked to teach basic department service or language courses
• have access to college resources such as the libraries, Hood Museum, Jones Media Center, and computing resources

Off-campus research leave during academic terms is permitted only in rare cases, only for brief periods of time, and only upon written application to the Faculty Director of the Society well in advance of the proposed leave.

Applicants for the 2023–2026 Society Fellowships must have completed a Ph.D. no earlier than January 1, 2021, and must have their degree in hand by June 30, 2023.
