(IGCB)
at the University of Michigan is seeking another round of exceptional
applicants for the IGCB Michigan Postdoctoral Fellows Program. Successful
applicants will have the opportunity and support to advance research in any
aspect of global change biology.  They will also be able to participate in
programs that include career mentoring, professional development, and
academic networking opportunities. Applicants with interest across all
areas of global change biology are invited to apply. We encourage
applicants to contact at least two potential postdoc mentors at Michigan–
we highly encourage co-mentoring. Preference will be given to applicants
who bridge disciplines; co-mentoring across schools/departments is strongly
encouraged. Co-funding (e.g. through grants to potential co-mentors or
postdoc fellowships to candidates) is also encouraged but not expected.
Potential mentors and their areas of interest are available through our list
of possible faculty mentors
<https://umich.us10.list-manage.com/track/click?u=7439514fc7ae0951e448822a5&id=3192702b05&e=a871eb11c3>
(see
both the Steering Committee and Affiliated Faculty sections), although
University of Michigan faculty mentors who are not yet affiliated with the
IGCB will also be considered.

The application deadline is September 30 2023. Research in global change
biology happens in many departments and units on campus, so Fellows could
be jointly based in a number of departments and the IGCB. We hope to make
decisions by October 25.  Successful applicants would be able to start
their appointment as soon as feasible after a decision has been reached,
but preferably not later than June 30, 2024 (although we can be flexible as
needed). Most postdocs are expected to be for two years, although
University protocols require a one-year initial appointment and subsequent
evaluation. Postdocs of more than two years would be feasible when
co-funding is available.

Applications must include: (1) A cover letter (1 page); (2) a CV; (3) a
research statement including plans for proposed research and anticipated
mentors at the University of Michigan (3 pages maximum),  including a short
paragraph describing how the applicant’s research would fit in with and
contribute to the IGCB Research Themes

(4) a brief statement describing interest in, experience with, and
commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusivity (1 page); (5) names and
contact information for three references; please ask all three to upload
their letters here
