The Neukom Institute for Computational Science at Dartmouth College is inviting applications for its 2027 Neukom Postdoctoral Fellows Program, a prestigious interdisciplinary fellowship for recent PhD graduates whose research bridges traditional disciplinary boundaries through computational approaches. The fellowship offers a two-year appointment beginning 1 September 2027, with the possibility of requesting a third year. Fellows receive a $70,000 annual stipend, dedicated research funding, mentorship across two Dartmouth departments, and the opportunity to develop an independent interdisciplinary research programme. Applications open on 1 August 2026 and close on 1 December 2026. About the Neukom Fellows Program The Neukom Fellows Program supports outstanding early-career scholars whose research combines computational thinking with disciplines across the sciences, humanities, engineering, arts, and social sciences. Rather than focusing on a single field, the programme encourages innovative work that uses computation as either a methodological tool or a conceptual framework for interdisciplinary discovery. Fellows become part of Dartmouth’s collaborative research community while working closely with faculty mentors from two different academic departments, creating opportunities to develop research that transcends conventional academic boundaries.

The fellowship is open to exceptional recent or soon-to-be PhD graduates from any discipline whose work has a significant computational component and demonstrates strong interdisciplinary potential. Applicants must: Hold a PhD, DMA, MFA, or equivalent doctoral degree by 1 September 2027. Demonstrate research interests that intersect with computation. Show a strong commitment to multidisciplinary collaboration. Provide evidence of independent scholarship and innovative thinking. Have a record of collaborative research across disciplinary boundaries. Researchers from fields including mathematics, computer science, engineering, biology, social sciences, humanities, arts, and related disciplines are encouraged to apply. Fellowship Responsibilities Neukom Fellows enjoy substantial academic freedom while contributing to Dartmouth’s interdisciplinary intellectual community. Fellows will: Conduct an independent interdisciplinary research programme. Collaborate with faculty mentors in two Dartmouth departments. Be based within one host department while engaging across multiple disciplines. Teach one seminar course each academic year on a topic related to their expertise. Reside at Dartmouth throughout the fellowship, except for approved research and conference travel. Importantly, there are no additional administrative or service duties, allowing fellows to focus primarily on research and teaching. Funding and Benefits The Neukom Fellowship provides generous financial and professional support, including: US$70,000 annual stipend for 2027–2028. Two-year appointment with the option to request a third year. Additional funding for research equipment. Dedicated travel support for conferences and fieldwork. Research materials funding. Interdisciplinary mentorship from two academic departments. Access to Dartmouth’s research facilities and collaborative networks. Opportunity to design and teach a seminar based on the fellow’s own interests. Required Application Materials Applicants should contact prospective Dartmouth faculty mentors while preparing their applications and submit the following materials: Curriculum Vitae Publications list Two-page research statement outlining research interests and the project to be pursued as a Neukom Fellow Statement identifying potential Dartmouth departments and faculty collaborators, explaining how interdisciplinary mentorship would enhance the proposed research Contact information for three referees, who will upload confidential recommendation letters Optional writing sample or comparable creative work Optional teaching statement Optional cover letter Recommendation letters are due by 8 December 2026, one week after the application deadline. Why This Fellowship Is Valuable The Neukom Fellows Program is designed for scholars who do not fit neatly within a single discipline. By pairing fellows with mentors from multiple departments, the programme creates an environment where computational methods can inspire breakthroughs across diverse fields of inquiry. For researchers seeking to establish an independent academic career while building collaborations across mathematics, computation, biology, engineering, humanities, or the social sciences, the fellowship offers exceptional flexibility, funding, and mentorship. How to Strengthen Your Application Competitive applicants should clearly demonstrate how computation plays a meaningful role in their research, whether as a methodological tool, theoretical framework, or creative practice. A strong application should identify specific Dartmouth faculty collaborators, explain why interdisciplinary mentorship is essential to the proposed project, and present an original research vision that extends beyond traditional disciplinary boundaries. Evidence of collaborative scholarship, independent publications, innovative research, and the ability to communicate across disciplines will significantly strengthen an application. Important Dates Applications Open: 1 August 2026 Application Deadline: 1 December 2026 Recommendation Letters Due: 8 December 2026 Fellowship Begins: 1 September 2027 How to Apply Interested candidates should submit their applications through the official Interfolio application portal after 1 August 2026. Applicants are strongly encouraged to contact prospective Dartmouth mentors before submitting their application.
