Fellows participate together in mentoring and professional development programming, including guidance in preparing for faculty careers.
Application Information
This is a two-year residential fellowship in which the fellow is focused on their research and writing. We seek scholars who can contribute to building the intellectual life of the AAAS department and Dartmouth College. Fellows are expected to complete the dissertation at the end of their first year and then transition to a postdoctoral appointment for the second year. Fellows receive an annual stipend of approximately $49,860 in the first year as a predoctoral fellow, $67,580 in the second year as a postdoctoral fellow, plus benefits and an allocation for research expenses (exact funding levels will be set at the time of offer).
Guarini Dean’s Postdoctoral Fellows are part of the Provost’s Fellowship Program (PROF), a multidisciplinary cohort of approximately ten predoctoral and postdoctoral scholars who share a commitment to increasing inclusive access in their disciplines and higher education. Fellows participate together in mentoring and professional development programming, including guidance in preparing for faculty careers. Postdoctoral researchers are supported by the Guarini School for Graduate and Advanced Studies, including their community initiatives.
Review of applications will begin February 15, 2026 and continue until the position is filled.
