­The Neukom Institute for Computational Science at Dartmouth College is offering Neukom Postdoctoral Fellows competition for positions starting September 1, 2019.

The primary goal for the Neukom Institute is to enable Dartmouth students and faculty to integrate computational technology into their curriculum, scholarship and most critically into their thinking. As described above, nearly every discipline across the campus can benefit from computational technology – our goal is to integrate computational advances into these disciplines, to support the development of new technologies that will change the way we all think and work, and to try to imagine what an unimaginable future is probably.
