Postdoctoral Researcher at the Center for the Advanced Study of India (CASI) Location: Philadelphia, PA Open Date: Jan 15, 2026 Deadline: The Center for the Advanced Study of India ( CASI ) at the University of Pennsylvania invites applications to fill a postdoctoral researcher position for the 2026-2027 academic year. Applicants from the humanities and social sciences whose work focuses on contemporary India are encouraged to apply. We welcome candidates from a wide range of disciplinary traditions and methodological orientations. CASI welcomes applications from scholars who have received their Ph.D. or equivalent degrees, or who will complete their degree by June 30, 2026. The term of appointment is July 1, 2026-June 30, 2027 and the Ph.D. must be in hand to begin the appointment. Since the fellowship is intended for early career scholars, Ph.D.s must have been received in 2023 or after. The position may be renewable for up to one additional year conditional...

Postdoctoral Position: Red Blood Cell Immunobiology Location: Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania Open Date: Jan 05, 2026 Deadline: Description The Mangalmurti Laboratory invites applications for a postdoctoral position examining red blood cells (RBCs) as previously unrecognized regulators of innate immunity. The laboratory focuses on how RBCs participate in nucleic acid sensing, immune homeostasis, and inflammatory disease, with a long-term goal of translating fundamental red blood cell immune functions into clinically relevant applications. The lab made the seminal discovery that red blood cells express the nucleic acid-sensing receptor TLR9 and actively sequester cell-free DNA, redefining RBCs as active participants in innate immune regulation. Ongoing work integrates mechanistic in vitro systems, organ-on-a-chip platforms, clinical specimens from critically ill patients, and erythroid-specific PRR-deficient mouse models to...

Postdoctoral Fellow - Reproductive Biology Location: University of Pennsylvania - Perelman School of Medicine Open Date: Mar 13, 2026 Deadline: Postdoctoral Fellow - Reproductive Biology About the Lab The Bomba-Warczak Laboratory at the University of Pennsylvania is recruiting creative, collaborative, and highly independent Postdoctoral Scientists to lead new research projects in reproductive biology. Our lab studies how the ovarian microenvironment supports oocyte development and reproductive function across the lifespan. We are particularly interested in understanding how cellular interactions within the ovarian follicle shape oocyte health, tissue physiology, and reproductive aging. Our research integrates mouse models, quantitative cell and tissue biology, imaging approaches, stable-isotope tracing, and mass-spectrometry-based omics to uncover molecular pathways that regulate reproductive biology and cellular communication in complex tissues.

Postdoctoral Scientist Mitochondrial Biology Location: University of Pennsylvania - Perelman School of Medicine Open Date: Mar 13, 2026 Deadline: Postdoctoral Scientist - Mitochondrial Biology About the Lab: The Bomba-Warczak Laboratory at the University of Pennsylvania is recruiting creative, collaborative, and highly independent Postdoctoral Scientists to lead new research projects in mitochondrial biology. Our lab investigates how mitochondria are maintained and renewed in long-lived mammalian cells, with a particular interest in how organelle function is sustained over extended timescales in complex tissues. We integrate mouse models, quantitative biochemistry, stable-isotope tracing, and mass-spectrometry-based omics to understand the molecular mechanisms that govern mitochondrial maintenance, bioenergetics, and cellular resilience. Learn more about the lab at bombawarczaklab.com Projects will be tailored to the interests of the successful candidate within...

Postdoc in Cancer Immunology Location: University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine: Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery Open Date: Jan 28, 2026 Deadline: Funding is available for a highly motivated postdoctoral fellow to join an NIH R01-funded research program investigating bitter taste receptor (T2R) signaling in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) and tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs). This work focuses on understanding how G protein-coupled receptor signaling shapes macrophage behavior within the tumor microenvironment and how these pathways can be leveraged to promote anti-tumor immunity. Oral squamous cell carcinoma remains a highly lethal disease, with clinical outcomes strongly influenced by immune composition and macrophage phenotype within the tumor microenvironment. Tumor-associated macrophages play a central role in regulating tumor progression, immune suppression, and response to therapy, yet many of the signaling pathways governing...

Postdoctoral Researcher in Structural Virology/Immunology Location: University of Pennsylvania, Perelman School of Medicine Open Date: Dec 08, 2025 Deadline: The Roark Laboratory is opening at the Perelman School of Medicine (Department of Microbiology) in January 2026 and is accepting applications from highly motivated structural biologists for a postdoctoral research position. Our lab uses single-particle cryogenic electron microscopy (cryoEM) analysis of viral glycoproteins to define cellular entry and immune evasion mechanisms, including the characterization of neutralizing antibodies that can overcome these processes. We then leverage this structural and functional information to rationally design biotherapeutics and immunogens against viruses that have resisted standard vaccine approaches. We are seeking a postdoctoral researcher to pursue one of several structural vaccinology projects for HIV and herpes simplex virus. The successful candidate will have...

CASI Postdoctoral Climate Fellow Location: Center for the Advanced Study of India Open Date: Apr 09, 2025 Deadline: The Center for the Advanced Study of India ( CASI ) and the Department of Anthropology at the University of Pennsylvania invites applications to fill a postdoctoral fellowship position for the 2025-2026 academic year. For this position, we seek a scholar whose research focuses on one or more of the following areas: environment-society relations, cities and urbanization, and climate change. We are open to applicants from a range of disciplinary traditions, particularly anthropology, architecture, geography, and planning. Candidates who have experience with multimedia production and/ or skills in critical cartography (video, web-based platforms, GIS) are especially encouraged to apply. We also encourage applications from candidates whose research focuses on enduring inequities, such as those of caste, indigeneity, gender and sexuality. CASI welcomes...
