The Neukom Institute for Computational Science at Dartmouth College invites applications for the Neukom Postdoctoral Fellowship. We expect to appoint several postdoctoral Fellows, with anticipated start date of September 1, 2027. Neukom Postdoctoral Fellowships 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. Qualified candidates should have a history of collaborative work across disciplines, while also showing evidence of independence and initiative.
