We seek applicants in Italian Studies, with transdisciplinary specialization in any of these fields: Black Italia; Mediterranean Studies; Sound Studies; Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies.

The Leslie Humanities Center advances the study of meaning, purpose, and creativity in the human experience. We support humanities research and projects that engage students, faculty, staff, and visitors at Dartmouth College and beyond. As part of that mission, we appoint a new cohort of Mellon Postdoctoral Fellows in the Humanities each year who are also affiliated with a primary academic department or program.

The Mellon Postdoctoral Fellowship program fosters the academic careers of scholars who have recently received their Ph.D. degrees by providing the time and resources for 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 program also benefits Dartmouth by complementing existing curricula with underrepresented fields.

Fellows are expected to be in residence at Dartmouth during the regular academic year for the full two years of the fellowship, although occasional travel may be approved. The compensation for the 2027-29 fellowship will be similar to the current year: an annual stipend of $67,600 plus benefits, an annual research allowance of $5,000, and a relocation stipend of $2500. In addition, fellows teach one course in their home department(s) or program(s) in the second year of their residency.
