Twelve outstanding early-career scholars have been chosen as the 2026 cohort of Klarman Postdoctoral Fellows by the College of Arts and Sciences. Mentored by College faculty hosts, they will pursue research in the sciences, social sciences and humanities. The incoming fellows comprise the seventh cohort of Klarman Fellows since the program was launched in 2019 with a major gift from Seth Klarman ’79 and Beth Schultz Klarman. 

“I welcome these superb researchers to the College, where they will have every opportunity, with stellar faculty mentors, to thrive in their explorations and contribute to some the world’s most important research fields,” said Peter John Loewen, the Harold Tanner Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences. “The Klarman Postdoctoral Fellows program is now ingrained in the College, exemplifying our mission to foster deep discovery and broad interdisciplinary collaboration. I am grateful to Seth and Beth Klarman for the extraordinary foresight of their vision and continued strength of their support.”

Klarman Fellows are able to prioritize their research, a central goal of the program, as they have no teaching assignments or reporting requirements. In addition to their faculty hosts, many fellows develop connections to additional faculty members and even different departments and programs across the College and University.
