Postdoctoral Research Opportunities
When GLBRC has open postdoctoral positions that are actively being recruited, you can find them under Other GLBRC Career Opportunities below. However, many postdoc opportunities are arranged directly with faculty members, even when no formal job posting exists.
If you're interested in a postdoctoral position:
- Reach out directly to GLBRC faculty. View our co-investigators directory.
- Include the following in your message:
- A cover letter explaining your background, research interests, and why you're interested in that faculty member's work.
- Your CV.
- Names (or at least one name) of people who will provide letters of reference.
We encourage proactive outreach and welcome inquiries from researchers with varied backgrounds and interests.
Keegstra Bioenergy Research Fellowship Program
The Great Lakes Bioenergy Research Center (GLBRC) invites applications for the Keegstra Bioenergy Research Fellowships in integrative bioenergy sciences. We are recruiting talented and highly motivated postdoctoral fellows for projects that cross the traditional bioenergy boundaries of plant genetics, biomass deconstruction, microbial engineering, and sustainability. Candidates must be within three years of a PhD degree at the start of the fellowship and must not have been previously associated with GLBRC.
