University of Michigan Medical School will be hosting an in-person Postdoc Preview recruiting event this spring, May 11-12, 2023! This event fully funds up to 20 upper-level graduate students the opportunity to explore the extensive postdoctoral research and training opportunities in biomedical sciences available at U-M. During the visit, invited candidates will interview with prospective mentors, network with current postdocs, learn about funding opportunities, and explore life in Ann Arbor.

Research opportunities are available across 30+ departments at the Medical School, ranging from clinical departments such as Internal Medicine and Neurology as well as basic science departments including Bioinformatics, Biological Chemistry, Cancer Biology, Cellular & Developmental Biology, Cellular & Molecular Biology, Human Genetics, Immunology, Microbiology & Immunology, Molecular, Cellular, & Developmental Biology, Molecular & Cellular Pathology, Molecular & Integrative Physiology, Neuroscience, and Pharmacology.

As biomedical and life science graduate students look ahead to future opportunities, we encourage you to consider the University of Michigan Medical School for a postdoctoral research fellow position.  Applicants are selected from a national pool of candidates who expect to complete their thesis research within the next year. Applications are open from February 13, 2023 to March 24, 2023. For more information please visit their website or the application site.

Thomas Jefferson University, founded in 1824, is a nationally ranked, doctoral research university and a pioneer in transdisciplinary, professional education. Over 170 faculty members and researchers in basic science, translational, and clinical departments have received over $200 million per year in extramural research funding, much of it from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and produced over 4,000 scholarly publications per year. Research areas are widespread across the biomedical sciences, including virology, neuroscience, structural biology, genomics, cancer biology, radiology, biochemistry, and orthopedic surgery.

Founded in 2003, the Jefferson Office of Postdoctoral Affairs (OPA) resides within the Jefferson College of Life Sciences, but supports over 100 postdoctoral fellows university-wide. Jefferson Postdoctoral Association (JPA) was formed and became a recognized university organization in 2004. Both entities support a vibrant postdoctoral fellow training environment and community. The OPA develops policies to enhance the postdoctoral training experience and provides career and professional development programming. The JPA holds open meetings, social hours, technical skills seminars and bi-annual parties. These activities foster a community among the postdoctoral fellows. The OPA and JPA work together on many activities, including the annual Postdoctoral Research Symposium.

Please feel free to contact Dr. Lisa Kozlowski (Lisa.Kozlowski@jefferson.edu) with any questions about postdoctoral positions at Jefferson.  You can also learn about 7 Philadelphia institutions with postdoc positions at a virtual Philadelphia Postdoc Preview event on February 7.  More information, including registration, can be found here, http://www.philadelphiapostdoc.com/.
