Overview
The Dartmouth Neukom Postdoctoral Fellows Program supports recent PhD graduates and emerging scholars whose research crosses traditional academic boundaries and incorporates computation as a significant component. The fellowship provides an exceptional environment for independent interdisciplinary scholarship, offering mentorship from faculty in two different Dartmouth College departments, residence in an academic department, and the opportunity to teach one seminar course each year.

Required application materials include a comprehensive curriculum vitae, a publications list, a two-page statement of research interests, a description of proposed departments and faculty mentors, and details for three referees who will provide letters of recommendation.
