Mellon Postdoctoral Fellowships at Dartmouth

With the generous support of the Mellon Foundation, Dartmouth will be accepting applications for two postdoctoral fellowships in the humanities from Fall 2025 to the end of Spring 2027. 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 areas: 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 areas, we will prioritize candidates whose research makes use of queer studies and/or transcultural approaches.

• Jewish Studies Program, with specialization in any of the following fields: 1. The history of Jews in North Africa and/or the Middle East during the early modern or modern periods; 2. Comparative Jewish literary traditions in Yiddish, Hebrew, German, or English; 3. Medieval Kabbalah and/or Hasidic texts. With these areas, we will prioritize candidates whose research makes use of theoretical modalities, particularly feminist theory and women's and non-binary experience.
