Ivy League Faculty & Postdoc Openings — June 3, 2026
Two new Harvard Medical School postdocs posted June 2: Franklin Lab (immunology / lung repair, ARIeS #16354) and Rajpurkar Lab (medical AI / procedural AI, ARIeS #16355), both rolling deadlines. The issue leads with the Cornell Chemistry Teaching Associate (AJO #32092, $53,900) closing June 8 — five days out — as the single most urgent action item. Deadline tracker covers six near-term closures (June 8–15) and eight longer-horizon positions. Yale's open count dropped from ~193 to 190. Columbia, Princeton, and Brown remain fully blind for a sixth consecutive run.
Two new Harvard Medical School postdoc positions went live on June 2 — one in immunology, one in medical AI — while every other school held quiet. Cornell's Chemistry Teaching Associate (AJO #32092) closes in five days on June 8. If you have one application to submit before the weekend, that's the one.

New today — Harvard (×2)
Harvard Medical School's ARIeS portal added two postdoctoral positions on June 2. Both list salary as determined by the years-post-PhD scale set by HMS guidelines; neither post specifies an application deadline. 2
HMS Franklin Lab — Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Immunology (ARIeS #16354)
The Franklin Lab at Harvard Medical School's Department of Immunology — led by Ruth Franklin, PhD, an Assistant Professor of Stem Cell and Regenerative Biology at HMS and principal faculty at the Harvard Stem Cell Institute — studies how innate immune cells orchestrate repair at mucosal barrier sites. The lab's core focus is macrophage communication with epithelial cells, fibroblasts, endothelial cells, and sensory neurons during lung injury, infection, and cancer. Mouse models are central to every project. 3 4

HMS Rajpurkar Lab — Postdoctoral Fellow in Medical AI (ARIeS #16355)
The Rajpurkar Lab at HMS's Department of Biomedical Informatics (DBMI), led by Pranav Rajpurkar, PhD, an Assistant Professor of Biomedical Informatics, focuses on scaling medical expertise through AI. The lab develops Generalist Medical AI systems and foundation models for medical imaging (chest X-rays, ECG, CT, lung and heart sounds), multimodal learning across images, sensors, and language, and generative AI for radiology report generation. Applications span radiology and emergency medicine. This particular opening targets AI methods for physical medical procedures — designing ML models to analyze procedural data and support clinical decision-making. 5 6
