39 new Ivy academic openings this week — October 24–30, 2026
Thirty-nine Ivy League faculty and postdoctoral openings posted October 24–30, 2026, laid out in one table by school, rank, field, deadline and application link.
At a glance
Thirty-nine academic openings went up across the Ivy League between October 24 and October 30, 2026. Penn posted twelve, Cornell and Yale eight each, Harvard seven, Columbia three and Brown one. Princeton and Dartmouth carry no row. 1234
Twenty-four are faculty appointments. Fifteen are postdoctoral, fellowship or research appointments.
The nearest date is November 15, 2026, when Cornell's postdoc in AI for the social sciences and humanities stops taking applications. Nothing else in the table falls due in the next two weeks.
Columbia Engineering opened three searches in two days, on October 28 and 29: computer science, electrical engineering, and a two-year applied physics post tied to a new fusion centre. 5

Harvard
Two of Harvard's seven records sit in the Laboratory for Particle Physics and Cosmology and work on the Rubin Observatory. One is a five-year research scientist post building the image-processing pipeline. The other is a postdoc on flux calibration and type Ia supernovae. 8
The Leinweber Institute for Theoretical Physics pays its postdoc $78,000 to $88,000 and wants applications and three letters by November 30, 2026. 6
The health economics postdoc works with Stéphane Verguet on priority setting in low- and middle-income countries, at $70,000 to $85,000. Harvard reviews those applications as they arrive. 11
Harvard Business School's Digital Reskilling Lab hires two postdocs for July 2027 through June 2028, with full consideration on December 1, 2026. 12
The high-energy theory group wants applications by December 7, 2026 and letters a week later. 10
Three Harvard records repeat searches already printed here, so the table does not count them twice. The Herbaria research fellowship now runs as 16989 (was 16963), the Farlow Fellowship as 16988 (was 16962), and the Asian American studies professorship as 16979 (was 16973). All three earlier pages still open. 1
Penn
Eleven of Penn's twelve are faculty posts, and ten of those are at assistant rank. The twelfth is a senior-rank standing faculty appointment in the Sleep and Chronobiology division of Psychiatry. 2
The track label decides what the job is. Five are academic clinician appointments, three are clinician educator, one is clinical medicine, one is tenure track in paediatric cancer research. Read the track column before the department. 2
Two of the twelve are at New Bolton Center, Penn's large animal hospital in Kennett Square: one academic clinician post in large animal anaesthesia and one clinician educator post in the same field. 2
Penn leaves its "Position open through" field blank on every record in its inventory, and its Interfolio pages sit behind a cookie wall. No Penn row carries a deadline, and this issue cannot supply one. 2
Two Penn records are left out. Palliative oncology came back as 196442 on October 28, six days after the version carried here last week (196045). Two research associate posts, in Nursing and in the Shi lab, sit below the faculty and postdoc ranks. 2
Cornell
Cornell's Information Science department opened two faculty searches on the same day, one in Ithaca and one at Cornell Tech. Both begin reviewing files on December 1, 2026, and the Cornell Tech search takes applications through Academic Jobs Online rather than the university's own portal. 1920
Indigenous Literatures is a joint appointment between English and the American Indian and Indigenous Studies Program, open to assistant and associate rank. The band runs $83,200 to $140,000 and the posting states no deadline. 13
The AI postdoc is the one to open first. Up to five fellows join for two years at $70,000 with a $4,000 research account, sponsored by a tenure-stream faculty member, and Academic Jobs Online stops taking applications on November 15, 2026. 18
Two Jewish Studies postdocs pay $63,480 and take full consideration on January 15, 2027. One is in Jewish philosophy, the other in the Jewish studies of contemporary North America. 16
The plant breeding and ecology postdocs review applications as they arrive. Plant breeding pays $63,480 to $65,000; the ecology postdoc works on butterfly colour-pattern evolution. 3
Six Cornell records are left out, all of them outside the faculty and postdoc ranks: a teaching professorship in mechanical and aerospace engineering, two extension associates, a research-facility director, and two research associates in SonicMEMS and Microbiology. A seventh, the real estate search 112213, repeats 111896 from last week, and that page still opens. 3
Yale
Yale posted two Earth and Planetary Sciences postdoctoral fellowships on October 30, the Skinner fellowship and the Flint fellowship. The Provost index gives the department, the campus and the Interfolio number for each, and no subfield or deadline. 4
Rheumatology appears twice, two days apart: one advertisement open from instructor to full professor (196547) and one open from instructor to associate professor (196288). Both are clinical appointments in Connecticut. 4
The rest of Yale's eight are single clinical posts: general gastroenterology, geriatric psychiatry at assistant or associate rank, a paediatric physician-scientist in Endocrinology, and a postdoctoral fellowship in Asian American studies inside Ethnicity, Race, and Migration. 4
No Yale row carries a deadline, because the index publishes none on any record. 4
Two Yale records are left out: a lectureship in Mathematics (195918) and a clinical psychologist post in Psychiatry (196457) whose listing states no academic rank. 4
Columbia
Columbia's three rows all come from the School of Engineering's own positions page, which prints an open date for each search. 5
The Applied Physics post is a two-year, non-tenure-track assistant professorship at $120,000, tied to the Columbia–Max Planck Transatlantic Center on fusion plasmas. Applications close for full consideration on December 15, 2026. 5
Computer Science is hiring one or more people in any area, from assistant to full professor, with review starting December 1, 2026. Bands run from $113,000 at assistant rank to $315,000 at full professor. 5
Electrical Engineering takes assistant and untenured associate applicants in any area of electrical and computer engineering. Files complete by December 1 get priority, and all files by January 15, 2027 get full consideration, at $113,000 to $172,000. 5
Two more engineering searches opened just before this window and were not in last week's issue. The Industrial Engineering and Operations Research search for associate or full professor opened October 20 with full consideration on November 27. The tenured, chaired aerospace professorship opened October 21 and closes for full consideration on December 15. Both are named here so they are not lost. 5
Outside engineering, Columbia's dated advertisements reach readers through the national boards, and the 2026 Burke Professorship carried here last week remains the most recent of them. Columbia's own recruiting system lists hundreds of postings without a date on any entry. 22
Brown
Brown's one row is a tenure-track assistant professorship in structural biology, in Molecular Biology, Cell Biology and Biochemistry. The department wants someone who bridges its RNA biology, ageing and Alzheimer's centres and who will help run the shared Structural Biology Core Facility. The salary starts at $110,000, the Interfolio file closes on November 28, 2026, and Brown will not sponsor an H-1B for the post. 21
The date needs a caveat. Brown's faculty board returns a human-verification page and its Interfolio institution board sits behind a cookie wall, so the October 29 date is when the advertisement was published on Science Careers. The Interfolio number was already circulating in mid-October, which suggests the search opened earlier than the advertisement. 21
Princeton and Dartmouth
Princeton carries no row. Its faculty recruitment runs entirely through Interfolio, which returns a cookie notice in place of the board, and its own academic job pages returned bot challenges on every attempt. 23
The national boards showed nothing new for Princeton inside the window. Its most recent dated faculty advertisement is the Comparative Literature professorship of October 22, which this issue carried last week. The one in-window Princeton listing, a visiting research scholar at the Institute for International and Regional Studies, is a visiting appointment rather than a faculty or postdoc post. The computer science department's job list carries the same six positions as before. 2425
Dartmouth carries no row either. Its applicant portal sends every faculty and postdoc search to the Provost's faculty-searches page, and that page publishes no open date for any search. 26
Dartmouth's dated listings inside the window were staff vacancies: an economics research specialist and a laboratory safety post. Its newest dated faculty and postdoc advertisements remain the polar science postdoc of October 15 and a postdoctoral scholar post of October 16. 27
Deadline triage
Fourteen rows carry a deadline or a review date, three more review applications as they arrive, and twenty-two publish nothing a reader can open.
November 15, 2026. Cornell's AI in the social sciences and humanities postdoc, applied for through Academic Jobs Online. This is the only date in the next two weeks. 18
November 28–30, 2026. Brown's structural biology search closes on November 28. Harvard's Leinweber postdoc and both Rubin Observatory appointments in the Laboratory for Particle Physics and Cosmology take full consideration on November 30. 621
December 2026. Cornell's two Information Science searches and Harvard's Digital Reskilling Lab postdocs begin review on December 1. Columbia's computer science and electrical engineering searches use the same date, the second for priority only. Harvard's high energy theory group closes on December 7. Columbia's applied physics post and its aerospace chair both close on December 15. 101219
January 2027. Cornell's two Jewish Studies postdocs take full consideration on January 15, 2027, the same day Columbia's electrical engineering search closes for full consideration. 16
Reviewed as received. Harvard's health economics postdoc, and Cornell's plant breeding and ecology postdocs, read files until the posts fill. 11
No date published. All twelve Penn rows and all eight Yale rows state no deadline anywhere a reader can open, and so do Harvard's Netherlandish art search and Cornell's Indigenous Literatures search. Those cells read "Not published" or "Not stated" so the gap stays visible. 24
About the coverage
This issue covers postings with a publication or open date between October 24 and October 30, 2026. A row is printed only when the school's own dated page, or a dated listing that states the school's own date, establishes when the post went up. 13
Five schools publish a dated inventory this issue could read: Harvard's jobs feed, Yale's Provost index, Penn's faculty inventory, Cornell's postings file with its item pages, and Columbia's engineering positions page. Brown, Princeton and Dartmouth publish no such list, and their rows come from dated advertisements or do not appear. 45
The count leaves out visiting, adjunct, lecturer, preceptor and teaching-only appointments, professors of practice, staff research posts, and anything ranked below postdoctoral. That kept out two Harvard records, two at Yale, six at Cornell, two at Penn and one at Princeton. 14
Re-advertised searches stay out when the older page still opens, because the link a reader saved still works: three Harvard records, one Cornell record and one Penn record this week. Each is named in its school's section. 1
