With the generous support of the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, Dartmouth is delighted to offer two postdoctoral fellowships in the humanities and humanistic social sciences from Fall 2020 to the end of Spring 2022.

There is no requirement that the fellows be U.S. citizens, but the Mellon Foundation does want to see the fellowships awarded to individuals who seem likely to make their careers in the United States.

Application Procedure:

How to Apply: Transcripts uploaded to Interfolio technically are considered “unofficial.” Uploaded transcripts are required and accepted at the time of application; finalists may be asked to submit official paper transcripts. If your graduate institution does not list grades on transcripts, please note the circumstances in your personal statement.

The certification of degree requirement is intended for applicants who do not yet have a Ph.D. but expect to complete one by the June 30th that precedes that start date of this fellowship. Such applicants should submit a letter on institutional letterhead attesting to their anticipated schedule for completion. It may be signed by the advisor, chair of the department, or another relevant faculty member.

Interfolio may mark as “incomplete” any application that does not have a document uploaded in the “certification of degree” spot. Applicants who have earned their Ph.D. may upload in this spot a transcript or digital image of their diploma.

Fellowship applications and departmental requests to house a fellow will be evaluated by the Leslie Center’s Advisory Committee, in consultation with the Associate Deans of the Faculty for the Arts & Humanities, Social Sciences, and Interdisciplinary & International Programs. Strong fellowship applications will be circulated to relevant departments and programs, which will then be invited to apply for one of the candidates.
