About this position
Dartmouth College is accepting applications for two Mellon Postdoctoral Fellowships in the humanities for the 2027–29 cycle. These are postdoctoral opportunities for scholars who have recently earned a Ph.D. and want to continue research while gaining mentored teaching experience and departmental engagement.
The fellowships are housed in two areas: the Italian section of the Department of French and Italian Studies, with transdisciplinary specialization in Black Italia, Mediterranean Studies, Sound Studies, or Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies; and the Department of Religion, with specialization in South Asian Religions and work engaging karmic traditions such as Hinduism, Sikhism, Jainism, and Buddhism. The Religion position welcomes pre-modern or contemporary research and methods including anthropological, historical, literary, or material religion.
The program is supported by the Mellon Foundation and is designed to foster academic careers while enriching Dartmouth’s curriculum with underrepresented fields. The fellowship period runs from Fall 2027 to the end of Spring 2029.
Applications open July 1, 2026 in Interfolio and close at 11:59 pm EST on September 16, 2026. Apply via the relevant Interfolio posting for the department that best matches your research profile.
