About this position
The Institute of Global Change Biology (IGCB) at the University of Michigan is inviting applications for the IGCB Michigan Postdoctoral Fellows Program. This is a postdoctoral opportunity for researchers interested in global change biology, with room for projects spanning ecology, climate change, and interdisciplinary environmental research.
Successful fellows will receive support to advance their research, participate in career mentoring and professional development, and join academic networking activities. The program emphasizes faculty mentorship, and applicants are encouraged to contact at least two potential mentors at Michigan; co-mentoring across schools and departments is strongly encouraged. Preference is given to applicants who bridge disciplines.
The fellowship is based at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, Michigan, United States. Fellows are expected to take part in weekly Postdoc Plus meetings, seminars, workshops, training exercises, symposia, and other IGCB activities. Most appointments are expected to last two years, with an initial one-year appointment and later evaluation according to university protocol.
Applicants must hold a doctorate. Required application materials include a 1-page cover letter, CV, names and contact information for three references, and a research statement (up to 3 pages, excluding references) describing proposed research, anticipated mentors, and fit with IGCB research themes. All materials should be combined into a single PDF and submitted through the online application form. Referees must upload their letters separately through the referee form.
Deadline: September 30, 2026. Contact [email protected] for questions.
