Description

The Graduate Program in the Ecology, Evolution, Environment, and Society (EEES) at Dartmouth College invites applications for two residential postdoctoral fellowships. EEES is a multidisciplinary community of scholars with faculty within the Departments of Anthropology, Biological Sciences, Environmental Studies, and Geography. Areas of scholarship include ecology and evolutionary biology, ecosystems and earth systems, and environment and society.

Applicants should have a research focus that aligns with that of one or more faculty within EEES. Applicants should identify in their cover letter one or more faculty with whom their research interests align as sponsors from the EEES program and describe how their research interests fit within current or future projects with their sponsors at Dartmouth. We encourage applicants to contact one or more faculty members in advance.

Postdoctoral fellows will conduct research that advances general theory and contributes new technical knowledge in their field. Qualifying research includes the application of theory and knowledge to the benefit of humans and our environment. Fellows will pursue independent and collaborative research projects. In addition, fellows will be responsible for enhancing undergraduate and graduate student education and will lead a graduate seminar course or working group dedicated to developing a research product. Fellows are expected to be strong contributing members of the vibrant EEES community at Dartmouth and to foster productive discourse both within and beyond the program.

Fellowships are for one year, with possibility of renewal for a second year pending satisfactory performance. This is a full-time appointment with a salary of approximately $54,840 (exact amount will be set at the time of appointment), benefits, and up to $5000 annually in research and professional development resources.

The EEES program, and Dartmouth as a whole, are highly committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive population of students, faculty, and staff. We are especially interested in applicants who are able to work effectively with students, faculty, and staff from all backgrounds, including but not limited to: racial and ethnic minorities, women, individuals who identify with LGBTQ+ communities, individuals with disabilities, individuals from lower income backgrounds, and/or first-generation college graduates.
