Postdoctoral Fellowship with the Center for the Study of American Democracy, One-year Residential	Gambier, OH
Postdoctoral Fellowship with the Center for the Study of American Democracy The Center for the Study of American Democracy invites applications for a one-year residential postdoctoral fellowship for the academic year 2025-26, with a start date of August 2025. This fellowship will explore the nexus between the market and society. Candidates will be jointly appointed with an appropriate affiliate department of the Center, such as economics, history, political science, philosophy or sociology. To be considered for the position, candidates must demonstrate a strong research interest in the role that free markets play in economic and political development. We encourage applications from candidates holding Ph.D.’s in economic history, economic sociology, new institutional economics, political philosophy, political economy, public policy, or similar fields. Fellows will advance their research agendas and teach one course per semester in an affiliate department of the Center, such as economics, history, political science, philosophy or sociology. Fellows will also assist with the activities of the Center, including participating in a research seminar, bringing speakers to campus, and organizing the Center’s political economy colloquium. Fellows are required to live in the local community and are expected to participate in the cultural life of Kenyon College by regularly attending readings, lectures, presentations, and other campus activities. The Center for the Study of American Democracy will provide a competitive salary plus health benefits.
Postdoctoral Researcher in Physics	Gambier, OH
The Kenyon College Department of Physics is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to participate in the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) research group, with a focus on calibration of the LIGO detectors. This position requires a Ph.D. in physics or astronomy, and the position is ideal for a candidate who has already been involved in research in gravitational-wave physics and astronomy. The selected candidate will also receive a California Institute of Technology visiting research appointment in order to facilitate extended stays at the LIGO detectors as a participant in the LIGO Scientific Collaboration (LSC) Fellows program. While on-site as an LSC Fellow, the selected candidate would be mentored by a LIGO Laboratory Senior Scientist. To apply, candidates should visit the online application site found at https://careers.kenyon.edu. Interested candidates must submit a letter of interest, a resume or CV, unofficial transcript, and contact information for three professional references, including name, title and affiliation, phone number, and email address. References will be contacted only for candidates who advance into the final stages of the search process.
Postdoctoral Fellow in Biology	Gambier, OH
The Biology Department at Kenyon College in Gambier, OH, is seeking qualified applicants for a full-time, 3-year post-doctoral position in the laboratory of Natalie Wright. This position is funded through a CAREER grant from the NSF to study why many species of birds exhibit sexual dimorphism in flight muscle size, but many others do not, and to understand how sexual dimorphism in flight muscle size impacts flight in wild birds. This project, spanning evolutionary ecology, morphology, and flight biomechanics, offers the successful applicant a chance to learn new research skills while building upon familiar ones. The postdoc will conduct research; collect, analyze, and synthesize data; present their work at conferences; and publish papers. The postdoctoral fellow will develop the skills necessary to succeed in a tenure-track position through collaboration on undergraduate teaching and student mentoring with Dr. Wright. Applicants must have completed their Ph.D. in biology or a related field by the start date of the appointment. Applicants should demonstrate evidence of prior research experience and publications, excellent written and oral communication skills, and a strong background in ornithology, evolutionary ecology, or flight biomechanics. All application materials must be submitted electronically through Kenyon's employment website: https://careers.kenyon.edu. Please email Natalie Wright (wright1@kenyon.edu) with questions. Application review will begin immediately and continue until the position is filled. Start date is flexible, but around July 1st, 2025 is preferred. Applications should include a cover letter (1-2 pages) addressing past research experience, scientific interests, and professional goals as they relate to the position, curriculum vitae, and contact information for three references.
Postdoctoral Fellowship in Polymers Synthesis and Degradation	Gambier, OH
The Chemistry Department at Kenyon College in Gambier, OH is seeking qualified applicants for a full-time, post-doctoral position in the laboratory of Yutan Getzler. This position is funded through a Research at Undergraduate Institutions (RUI) grant from the NSF to study controlled polymer degradation. The immediate goal for our NSF-funded program is synthesis and characterization of linear and cyclic polyesters via ring-opening polymerization of commercially available and novel lactones using coordination compounds. Several variants of the novel lactones are in hand on multi-gram scales and their syntheses are well developed. Initial conditions for polymerization of commercially available monomers are established. This position is especially well suited to those interested in pursuing a career as a teacher-scholar at a primarily undergraduate institution (PUI). All application materials must be submitted electronically through Kenyon's employment website: https://careers.kenyon.edu. Application review will begin immediately and continue until the position is filled. Questions may be directed to Prof. Getzler (getzlery@kenyon.edu). Applications should include a cover letter (1-2 pages) addressing past research experience, scientific interests, and professional goals as they relate to the position, curriculum vitae, and contact information for three references.
