With the generous support of the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, Dartmouth is accepting applications for the Mellon Postdoctoral Fellowships in the humanities and humanistic social sciences at The Leslie Center for the Humanities.
These fellowships are open to the 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 2018-2020 fellows received an annual stipend of $57,528 plus benefits, an annual research allowance of $2,000, and a first-year-only computer allowance of $2,500.
