Applying for a postdoc appointment combined with a path to a tenure-track position

The University of Michigan offers postdoctoral fellowships coupled with faculty mentoring, professional development, and academic networking opportunities through the President’s Postdoctoral Fellowship Program (PPFP). This program also provides an exceptional opportunity for Fellows to obtain a tenure-track position at the University following the postdoctoral period. To learn more and apply for the program, visit the U-M President’s Postdoctoral Fellowship Program website. Candidates who apply for a PPFP position in CSE, or who have questions about the program, should also notify Cindy Estell.

Note: The Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) division hires faculty in some of the same specialty areas as CSE. If you are interested in both divisions, please visit the ECE faculty hiring page and submit an application there as well.
