University of Michigan Society of Fellows Postdoctoral Fellowship Program

The Michigan Society of Fellows invites applications to its postdoctoral fellowship program for Ph.D.s in the
humanities, arts, sciences, and professions. These positions at the University of Michigan are open to recent
Ph.D.s who wish to pursue research opportunities while teaching at a major research university. Fellows are
appointed as Assistant Professors in appropriate departments and as Postdoctoral Scholars in the Michigan
Society of Fellows for three-year terms to begin August 31, 2026. The annual stipend will be $63,000.

The Society of Fellows and the University of Michigan recognize and value contributions to the processes of
identifying and addressing the social, environmental, and technical challenges our societies and our planet
face. We encourage applicants to comment in their research proposal on how their research, teaching,
service, and outreach activities contribute to analyzing and tackling such challenges. The full list of
departments accepting applications for the 2026-2029 fellowship term will become available on August 1.

The application opens on August 1 and must be submitted electronically by Monday, September 15, 2025,
