Neukom Fellows at Dartmouth College Call for Applications
Dartmouth College Neukom Fellows: Call for Applications
The Neukom Institute for Computational Science at Dartmouth College is
pleased to announce the Neukom Postdoctoral Fellows competition for
positions starting September 1, 2019.
Neukom Fellows are interdisciplinary positions for recent Ph.D.s, DMAs, or
MFAs whose research interests or practice cuts across traditional
disciplinary boundaries, and has some computational component, whether it
be a framing concept for intellectual exploration or an explicit part of
the work that is pursued. The successful candidate should have a history of
collaborative work across disciplines, but still show evidence of
independence and initiative. The Fellowships are two year appointments,
other than standard research trips Neukom Fellows are expected to be in
residence. Early departure means early cut-off of support. Neukom Fellows
will be mentored by faculty in two departments at Dartmouth College, take
up residence in one department, and will teach one seminar course each year
on a subject of their interest. Beyond that there are no additional duties.
Neukom Fellow stipends are $60,000 for 2019-2020. Additional funds are
available for equipment, travel, and research materials.
Requirements: 1. Ph.D. in any discipline or (or expected by September
2019), DMA or MFA. 2. Research interests strongly intersecting theme of
computation. 3. Demonstrated interest in multidisciplinary research. 4.
Evidence of ability to think outside traditional paradigms.
Application Materials: Interested candidates are strongly encouraged to
contact prospective mentors at Dartmouth College and must submit the
following materials:
1) Curriculum vitae (including publications list).
2) Statement of research interests (max. 2 pages) including a short
description of the research you would like to pursue as a Neukom Fellow.
3) Description of which departments (and even better, which Dartmouth
faculty) you would be interested in working with and why the opportunity to
engage with multiple departments would enhance your work. Applicants are
strongly encouraged to seek out connections with and contact potential
Dartmouth mentors as they draft their applications.
4) Three referees whose letters of recommendation speak to the aims of the
Fellowship.
5) (Optional) A copy of one paper you have written in English (or some
comparable kind of creative work), either published or unpublished.
Completed applications received by November 15, 2018 will receive first
consideration. Materials received after that date or those that do not
fulfill the above requirements stand the chance of not being considered.
General inquiries should be directed to the Neukom Institute Manager,
Christine Alberga (Christine.E.Alberga@Dartmouth.edu).
