Program Details
With the generous support of the Mellon Foundation, Dartmouth will be accepting applications for two postdoctoral fellowships in the humanities from Fall 2026 to the end of Spring 2028. 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. The program also benefits Dartmouth by complementing existing curricula with underrepresented fields.
For the current cycle of applications, we seek candidates for placement in the following department and program:
- Department of Art History, with specialization in either of these two fields: 1. Trans-Pacific global exchanges between Polynesian/Melanesian cultures in Oceania, the Americas, Africa, or Europe; 2. Asian/American art history and its related diasporas from any chronological period that extends the category of Asian/American art and examines its historical depth and heterogeneity. For both of these fields, we will prioritize candidates whose work is informed by queer studies, transcultural approaches, and/or digital humanities methods.
- The position will be active in Interfolio on Tuesday, July 1, 2025. To apply visit: (apply.interfolio.com/169385)
- Department of Classics, , with specialization in any of these fields: Comparative slavery studies in ancient cultures broadly defined (e.g. Egypt, Mesopotamia, China); Queer studies; Disability studies; Critical reception studies (e.g. Africana receptions, Luso-Hispanic, Asian/Asian-American). For all of these fields, we will prioritize candidates whose research is informed by digital humanities methods.
- The position will be active in Interfolio on Tuesday, July 1, 2025. To apply visit: (apply.interfolio.com/169387)
The application period for 2026-28 Mellon Postdoctoral Fellows will open on Tuesday, July 1, 2025 and will close on Wednesday, September 17, 2025.
Applications will be evaluated by the Leslie Center's Advisory Committee, in consultation with the appropriate Associate Deans of the Faculty for the Arts & Humanities, Social Sciences, and International & Interdisciplinary Studies.
