Charles Eastman Fellowship

Dartmouth College invites applications for the Charles Eastman Fellowship. The fellowship supports scholars working in any area of Native American and Indigenous Studies. Applicants will be selected on the basis of their academic achievement, promise in both research and teaching, and their demonstrated commitment to educational diversity. Applications from candidates who are underrepresented in their fields are especially welcome.

This is a two-year residential fellowship. Fellows are expected to complete the dissertation before the second year and then transition to a postdoctoral appointment. Throughout, fellows are expected to pursue research activities while participating fully in the intellectual life of the department and the college. During the second year of residency, fellows teach one course. The first year, fellows receive an annual stipend of approximately $39,000 plus benefits and an allocation for research expenses; as a postdoctoral fellow in the second year, the stipend is approximately $57,960 plus benefits and an allocation for research expenses (exact funding levels for 2023-2025 will be set at the time of offer).
