The John Sloan Dickey Center for International Understanding at Dartmouth College invites applications for the 2025-26 E. John Rosenwald, Jr. ’52 TU’53 Fellows Program in U.S. Foreign Policy and International Security. We welcome applications from historians, political scientists, and other scholars whose research bears directly on foreign policy, international security or international history. We welcome applications from any untenured scholar. Fellows typically include a mix of recent Ph.D recipients as well as tenure-track faculty on leave from other institutions.
Applications will be evaluated on the basis of (i) significance of the applicant’s research for advancing knowledge about U.S. foreign policy and international security; (ii) ability of the applicant to benefit from interaction with and mentoring from Dartmouth faculty in Government, History, or other relevant departments; and (iii) ability of the applicant to contribute to Dartmouth’s community.
Fellows receive competitive stipends, research support, and benefits, comparable to those offered by other fellowship programs. Fellows are expected to be in residence from September 2025 through June 2026 in order to participate in Dickey Center seminars and to contribute to Dartmouth’s community more broadly.
Dartmouth is committed to academic excellence and encourages the open exchange of ideas within a culture of mutual respect. People with different backgrounds, life experiences, and perspectives make the Dartmouth community diverse, which enhances academic excellence. Applicants should address in their cover letter how their research, teaching, service, and/or life experiences prepare them to advance Dartmouth’s commitment to diversity in service of academic excellence.
Qualifications
Applicants should hold a Ph.D, or equivalent degree by the start of their appointment. Relevant disciplines include political science, history, or others if the applicant’s research relates directly to foreign policy, international security or international history.
