Fellowship Details
These fellowships foster the academic careers of scholars who have recently received their Ph.D. degrees. Fellows pursue their research while gaining mentored experience as teachers and members of the departments or programs in which they are housed. In addition, fellows participate in the Society alongside other postdoctoral scholars and Dartmouth faculty in a spirit of multidisciplinary learning and mutual enrichment.
The 2026-2028 cohort is the final cohort of the Society of Fellows program. We will not be recruiting postdoctoral fellows for any upcoming cycles.
