New Klarman Fellows to join Arts and Sciences
By Kate Blackwood
Eleven outstanding early-career scholars have been chosen as the 2025 cohort of Klarman Postdoctoral Fellows, the College of Arts and Sciences has announced. They will pursue research in sciences, social sciences, and humanities.
The incoming Fellows will be the sixth cohort of Klarman Fellows since the program was launched in 2019 with a major gift from Seth Klarman ’79 and Beth Schultz Klarman; the program was expanded in 2023.
“I am delighted to welcome these remarkable scholars to Cornell,” said Peter John Loewen, the Harold Tanner Dean of Arts and Sciences. “Working together with members of our world-class faculty, Klarman Fellows illustrate what brilliant minds can do given the time, opportunity and the right environment to break through a challenge or create something new. The Klarman Fellows program has enriched the College immeasurably, thanks to the foresight and generosity of Seth and Beth Klarman.”
Independent research is the priority for Klarman Fellows, who work without specific grant requirements. They do not have to teach, although some choose to. Each Fellow works closely with a faculty host and many develop ties with multiple departments or other colleges as they pursue their unique and often highly interdisciplinary projects. The Fellowship provides generous research and travel support for multiple years.
