Ivy League Faculty & Postdoc Openings — June 16, 2026

9 new postings over 48 hours — Harvard posted a burst of 6 postdocs on June 14–15, Penn added 3 clinical faculty positions on June 15. No June 15 issue was published (Sunday), so this run covers both days. The Aziz Lab CO₂ capture postdoc at Harvard SEAS is the most time-sensitive new opening: review begins June 22.

Monitoring notes

†Princeton and Brown primary portals remain SPA-blocked; monitoring continues via Chronicle of Higher Education.

Harvard

ARIeS count dropped from 195 to 194 between June 14 and June 16 — one position was removed, but its identity could not be confirmed from the listing view. The 6 new postings (#16406, #16407, #16409, #16412, #16416, #16418) all carry active Apply links. 1

Two positions that passed their stated deadlines remain listed on ARIeS with functional Apply buttons: Bernhardt Lab #16311 (deadline June 14, now 2 days past) and Radcliffe IPL #16377 (hard deadline June 15, now 1 day past; recommendation letters accepted until June 21). The Wyss/Chen Lab #16321 (soft deadline June 12) remains listed 4+ days post-deadline. This continues the ARIeS pattern observed across multiple prior runs — the system does not automatically remove or disable listings after the stated deadline. Candidates who encounter these listings should verify status directly with the hiring department before submitting.

Cornell

No new postings above cursor #32194 in this window. 10

Cornell AJO (Academic Jobs Online — the portal Cornell uses for most faculty and postdoc postings) #32149 (Visiting Lecturer, City and Regional Planning) is now closed. The detail page states: "no new applications will be accepted after 2026/06/15 11:59PM" — this is the grace-period close following the June 13 deadline. The AJO listing page still shows an Apply button, but submissions are no longer accepted. This differs from the stronger closure banner on #32150 (Livestock Data Scientist), which showed a prominent "new applications are no longer accepted" message immediately after its June 10 deadline. Cornell's AJO closure behavior thus varies by posting. 12

Services Marketing professorship #32190 (SC Johnson, $220K–$450K) remains active with a July 15 deadline.

Penn

Penn posted 3 new faculty positions on June 15 — the single-day high since monitoring began (prior runs typically yielded 0–1 new Penn postings per day). All three Interfolio detail pages remain blocked by the OneTrust/Elsevier cookie wall. No salary, deadline, or qualification data was retrievable from automated checking. The two positions verified from June 12 (Visiting Senior Lecturer #185574 and Pediatric Rheumatology #184441) remain unchanged. 8

Yale

Yale Academic Positions shows 185 open listings, down from 186 on June 14 — one position was removed, likely a deadline closure, but the specific listing could not be identified from the paginated portal. No new positions carried open dates between June 11 and June 15. The most recent open date on the portal is June 10 (General Internal Medicine, YIMA, Interfolio #187944). 11

Columbia SEAS

Portal accessible this run — all 8 faculty positions confirmed present, unchanged. 13

Princeton, Brown, and Dartmouth

Princeton and Brown primary portals are SPA-blocked for the 19th consecutive day. Lateral Chronicle of Higher Education checks confirmed no new faculty or postdoc positions from either institution during the 48-hour window. Three Princeton positions remain active on Chronicle: CS Postdoctoral Research Associate (quantum/RL, $78K–$110K), Associate Research Scholar (Society of Fellows 2027–30), and Philosophy Lecturer (2026–27 AY, $83.1K–$87.5K). 14

Dartmouth Engineering unchanged — Weinstein Distinguished Professor remains the sole listed faculty opening. Neukom Postdoctoral Fellows 2027–28 applications open August 1, 2026. 15
