Dear Debra,

We are pleased to be recruiting a fourth cohort for the IonE Postdoctoral Fellowship Program at the University of Minnesota’s Institute on the Environment (IonE). 

Would you be willing to share this opportunity with your networks or colleagues you think would be strong candidates?

We are looking for PhD or PhD candidates who are interested in interdisciplinary academic research and community-engaged scholarship, with a focus on solutions-oriented research in sustainability, to support an equitable and just transition for all.

If you know any former students, postdocs, or colleagues who might be interested in joining the IonE team, I would greatly appreciate you forwarding the fellowship description to them and/or introducing me to them via email.

Social Media: We invite you to share this opportunity by reposting us on LinkedIn and Facebook.

Flier: If you’d like to include a graphic, we invite you to share this hiring flier.

Webinars: We will be hosting multiple live calls for interested candidates to connect and ask questions. If you'd like to know what it is like to be an IonE Postdoctoral Fellow, we encourage you to attend one or more of these webinars.

How to Apply: Visit IonE Postdoc Fellowship "Apply Here" page. We are accepting applications until 5:00 p.m. U.S. Central Time on April 29, 2026.

We are excited to be expanding IonE’s research team to further our mission so that people and the planet prosper together, and I hope you can take a few minutes to help us in our search for a diverse slate of candidates. 

Please reach out to me or ione-r...@umn.edu with any questions.

Thank you so much for your time and consideration.

Jessica
