Description:

The Neukom Institute for Computational Science at Dartmouth College is pleased
to announce the Neukom Postdoctoral Fellows competition for positions starting
September 1, 2018. 

Neukom Fellows are interdisciplinary positions for recent Ph.Ds, 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- to three-year appointments, with the third-year
extension considered upon request after a review early in the second year. 
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 2018-2019.
Additional funds are available for equipment, travel, and research materials. 

Requirements:

- Ph.D. in any discipline or (or expected by September 2018), DMA or MFA. 
- Research interests strongly intersecting theme of computation. 
- Demonstrated interest in multidisciplinary research. 
- 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:

- Curriculum vitae (including publications list).
- Statement of research interests (max. 2 pages) including a short description
of the research you would like to pursue as a Neukom Fellow.
- 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. 
- Three referees whose letters of recommendation speak to the aims of the
Fellowship. 
- (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comparable kind of creative work), either published or unpublished.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, 2017 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. 

Dartmouth is an equal opportunity/ affirmative action employer with a strong
commitment to diversity. In that spirit, we are particularly interested in
receiving applications from a broad spectrum of people, including women,
persons of color, persons with disabilities, veterans or any other legally
protected group.
