17 new Ivy academic openings this week — July 31, 2026

At a glance

Seventeen new or revised academic openings surfaced in the July 24–31, 2026 scan: 10 postdoctoral or fellowship listings and 7 faculty searches across Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Penn, and Brown. Columbia, Dartmouth, and Cornell produced no confirmed qualifying item in the same window. The school-level records are linked below, and every entry keeps the deadline field even when the original did not publish one. 1 2 3 4 5 6

A note on scope: several faculty records at Yale exposed the rank, academic unit, and open date but not tenure status or a fuller job description in the accessible public listing. They are included as faculty searches with track unconfirmed, not labeled tenure-track by inference. A few other entries use an employer mirror or secondary access page because the university detail page was not readable; those links are labeled.

A July 29 posting date is visible on the accessible employer mirror, but no deadline is stated. The application target is included above; the university-hosted detail page was not readable in this pass. 9

Yale

Yale's Office of the Provost lists eight new academic records dated July 24–31: seven faculty searches and the Wu Tsai fellowship. The list supplies the academic unit, open date, rank where applicable, and direct Interfolio link. Several Interfolio pages exposed only a cookie or application shell in the accessible view, so their deadlines, tenure status, and full qualifications are left as not stated, not guessed. 1

Faculty searches

U.S. Cultural History and Cultural Studies — Assistant/Associate/Full Professor, American Studies. The listing is dated July 31 and covers U.S. cultural history and cultural studies. Rank is open across assistant, associate, and full professor; tenure status and deadline are not exposed in the public list. Apply through Interfolio. 1
Medieval European History — Assistant Professor, History. The July 31 search is a rank-specific assistant professor opening in Yale History, with medieval European history as the field. The public listing does not state a deadline or fuller qualification set. Apply through Interfolio. 1
Otolaryngology, Surgery, Head and Neck — Assistant Professor, School of Medicine. This July 29 faculty search is in Otolaryngology and covers surgery of the head and neck. The accessible record does not expose tenure status, deadline, or a fuller duty list. Apply through Interfolio. 1
Organizational Behavior — Professor, School of Management. The July 27 record is for AY 27–28 and carries the full professor rank. The public list identifies organizational behavior but does not state the track, deadline, or research subfield. Apply through Interfolio. 1
Organizational Behavior — Assistant or Associate Professor, School of Management. A separate July 27 AY 27–28 search covers the assistant or associate level. The listing does not publish a deadline or tenure status in the accessible record. Apply through Interfolio. 1

Postdoctoral and fellowship openings

Wu Tsai Postdoctoral Fellowships, Wu Tsai Institute. The official list dates this fellowship record July 31 and links to Interfolio record 2026-PD-001. The accessible listing does not expose the research area, deadline, or term; candidates should open the application record before deciding whether the fellowship matches their work. Apply through Interfolio. 1
Postdoctoral Associate, Lung Cancer Cell-of-Origin & Regenerative Biology, Chioccioli Lab. This is the most fully specified Yale opening in the window. The Yale School of Medicine project studies how oncogenic KRAS co-opts injury-induced progenitor cells to initiate lung adenocarcinoma, combining mouse lineage tracing, tumor-initiation models, single-nucleus RNA/ATAC profiling, spatial assays, histology, and validation in human specimens. Applicants need a PhD, MD, or MD/PhD in a related field, hands-on mouse-model experience, and histology, microscopy, and immunostaining skills; lung biology, single-cell genomics, spatial transcriptomics, and R/Python are preferred. The closing date is September 22, 2026. 10

Princeton

Revised Postdoctoral Research Associate, Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering

Princeton's July 31 revised listing is broad rather than lab-specific. It names bioengineering, combustion and energy science, computational science and engineering, dynamics and controls, energy and climate, fluid mechanics, lasers and applied physics, materials and mechanical systems, and robotics. Postdoctoral appointments run for one year and may be renewed subject to performance and funding; the source does not state a deadline. Because the accessible record is an employer mirror, use it as a current listing and verify the application form's live status before preparing a full packet. 11

Revised Postdoctoral Research Associate, High Energy Experiment Group

The July 25 revision is aimed at experimental particle physics, accelerator physics, and scientific computing. The main project concerns Muon Collider research and development, including beam-induced-background simulation, accelerated simulation workflows, beam studies, and possible CMS analysis; the role also includes mentoring junior researchers and maintaining shared software practices. The appointment is one year with possible renewal, and the source says review continues until the position is filled rather than naming a fixed deadline. 4

Penn

Postdoctoral Researcher, Health Services and Health Economics Research

The University of Pennsylvania's Perelman School of Medicine listing is housed in Biostatistics, Epidemiology & Informatics and names Michael Harhay as faculty mentor, with Scott Halpern and Ari Friedman also involved. The work uses large electronic health-record datasets for descriptive studies, natural experiments, causal inference, health economics, and cost-effectiveness analysis. Responsibilities include building reproducible datasets, developing estimation strategies, writing manuscripts, presenting results, and preparing data-sharing or replication plans. The open date is July 27, 2026; the source does not state a deadline or duration. This is a secondary access page rather than a Penn-hosted detail page. 5

Brown

Pembroke Center Postdoctoral Research Associate, 2027–28

Brown's Pembroke Center is recruiting a residential postdoctoral research associate for work connected to the theme "Rethinking Transnational Feminisms: Political Economy, Geopolitics, and Feminist Solidarities Across Borders."

Not stated: the remaining 15 entries. Treat that label as an information gap, not proof of rolling review. Check the live application record before investing in a packet.

Schools with no confirmed opening in this window

Columbia: The official careers search returned staff and administrative roles rather than a readable faculty or postdoctoral detail dated July 24–31. A postdoctoral psychology URL found during the scan resolved to a 404 page, so it is not counted. 12 13
Dartmouth: The official faculty recruitment page links to the Dartmouth Interfolio board and to several fellowship programs, but no July 24–31 faculty or postdoctoral detail with a verifiable date was visible in the accessible page. Staff and research-support roles in the HR search were excluded. 14
Cornell: The newest readable Cornell candidate in this pass was the Rose Postdoctoral Associate, updated July 21, before the window. Other official Cornell pages returned dates in March, April, or June. Because the requirement is a seven-day window, those openings are not carried forward here. 15

Links marked employer mirror or secondary access are included for their current date and usable listing details, not as substitutes for a university-hosted source. Confirm the live application page, deadline, and track before submitting materials; the public record is incomplete for several entries.
