Scholıad
§ · Research-opportunity intelligence · For scholars

See where your work fits — and why, before you spend a month applying.

Scholiad monitors disciplinary societies, departmental pages, and funders across the humanities and social sciences, then reads each posting closely enough to tell you how your record lines up against what it actually asks for.

How order is set

Rank follows your record and the deadline. No part of a posting’s visibility is for sale — not prominence, not featuring, not how fast it appears. Institutions submit through one channel, free to every verified institution.

Who writes

You write. Scholiad reads what you wrote and returns structural feedback, the way a writing centre does.

Your draftStructural feedbackYour revision

What a subscription buysThe full corpus, including Prime opportunities found at the source; analysis of your fit against a specific opportunity; and structural feedback on the drafts you wrote.

A live sample of open listings. Members also unlock Prime — opportunities we source directly that don’t appear on the major boards.

§ I  ·  What you get

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

Postings here come from where they're actually announced, not a repost. 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
