§ · The public catalog · Free to browse

Find humanities and social-science opportunities you’d miss elsewhere.

Scholiad continuously monitors disciplinary societies, departmental pages, and funders — so you see each opportunity once, not the same fellowship posted across five boards. Discipline-specific coverage, from Religious Studies to Public History. Free to browse.

§ I  ·  What you get

Three instruments. Built for the humanities job-market reality.

Most aggregators surface whatever gets posted to them. Scholiad goes to the source — the disciplinary societies, departmental pages, and funders where humanities and social-science opportunities actually live — and reads each posting closely enough to tell you why it might fit.
01 / Match discovery

See each opportunity once — not the same fellowship posted five times across five boards.

Disciplinary societies, departmental pages, and funders each post on their own timelines. Scholiad collapses duplicates and surfaces each opportunity once, so you review it a single time. A subset of the catalog — Prime listings — are sourced by Scholiad directly and don’t usually appear on the major public boards; they open up on Plus and Premium.

One opportunity, seen once
02 / Application gap analysis

Posting-derived guidance on strengthening your fit for a specific role.

Every observation is tied to specific language in the posting itself — the specialization the advertisement foregrounds, the methodological priorities a department states — not generic career advice. The analysis reads your CV alongside those requirements and notes, conditionally, where your profile is strong and where it might be strengthened. Grounded in evidence; never directive.

Per posting · conditional
03 / AI review of drafts

Writing-center-style structural feedback on the cover letter and research statement you wrote.

You write the draft. Scholiad’s AI review reads what you submitted and returns structural feedback — argument shape, evidence density, audience fit — in the manner of a writing center or a senior colleague. Your original draft, the feedback, and any revision are preserved together, with a full audit trail, so the record of your own authorship stays intact.

Integrity tooling, not generation
