| University of Wisconsin-Madison | Artificial Intelligence, Journalism, AI | School of Journalism and Mass Communication | Tomás Dodds | 02/14/2026 | Job Summary: The Public Tech Media Lab is currently hiring a postdoctoral researcher to lead studies of artificial intelligence in journalism. Specific research directions would be developed with the postdoctoral scientist. The broad focus should be on creating AI-based systems to help journalists collect, analyze, and distribute news content, as well as engage audiences. The position is fully funded and will initially be for one year, with the possibility of renewal for another year. We offer a collaborative and international research environment, with Lab members and media partners from across the world, access to computational resources, and research funding. The PTML seeks a postdoctoral fellow who will advance their scholarly projects with opportunities to participate in the vibrant intellectual community at UW–Madison and foster cross-campus exchange. Key Job Responsibilities: Appointments as postdoctoral fellows and postdoctoral trainees should be made only if it can be demonstrated that the appointee's activities are primarily for the benefit of the appointee's own learning and research. Otherwise, it is more appropriate to use an employment title such as researcher or scientist. Employment titles apply whenever the duties assigned are under the direct supervision and control of the employer and are primarily for the benefit of the University or granting agency. The work of individuals appointed as postdoctoral fellows or postdoctoral trainees should be independent or self-directed, subject only to such supervision as might be given by a teacher to a student. These criteria do not prevent the university of the extramural source of funds from receiving some benefit from the appointee's activities. Activities still may be of value to the extramural grantor, or may be useful internally to the university in satisfaction of other grant or contract requirements. The test is whether the work undertaken by the appointee is a necessary and relevant part of the appointee's learning program. However, the "primary benefit" test outlined above does forbid assigning tasks to the appointee which are unnecessary and irrelevant to the learning program or are repetitive beyond that which is necessary to achieve excellence in the activity, even if these tasks do not constitute the major portion of the appointee's activities. Except in rare cases, stipends paid to postdoctoral fellows or trainees are not excludable from gross income for purposes of income tax and thus are fully taxable. Since such stipends are not wages, however, the University will not withhold taxes from monthly stipend checks. Therefore, trainees and fellows may be required to pay estimated taxes on a quarterly basis. |
How to Apply: Qualified applicants should submit: • Statement of Interest (2 pages maximum, single-spaced) describing how your research aligns with the mission of the Public Tech Media Lab. • Postdoctoral Project Narrative (3 pages maximum). In your research proposal, please outline a concrete idea for a research project you would like to conduct in the lab and with our media partners. • Curriculum Vitae. • Contact information for three potential references. |

| University of Chicago | Cancer Radiotherapy and Immunotherapy | Radiation Oncology | Ainhoa Arina and Ralph Weichselbaum | 03/21/2026 | The University of Chicago’s Ludwig Center for Metastasis Research in the Department of Radiation and Cellular Oncology is seeking outstanding Postdoctoral Scholars to join an internationally recognized program focused on enhancing the anti-tumor efficacy of radiotherapy–immunotherapy combinations. Our research is driven by highly productive collaborations that span tumor immunology and immunotherapy, epigenetic regulation, and nanomedicine. Ongoing partnerships include mechanistic studies of immune responses to radiotherapy with Dr. Yang-Xin Fu; investigations into m6A methylation and treatment response with Dr. Chuan He; and development of immuno-nanomedicine strategies with Dr. Wenbin Lin. These efforts have yielded multiple high-impact publications over the past five years, including Chen et al. J Exp Med 2026; Piffkó et al. Nature 2025; Wang et al. J Clin Invest 2023; Cancer Cell 2023; Yang et al. Nat Nanotechnol 2022 and J Exp Med 2021; Jiang et al. Biomaterials 2023; Hou et al. Clin Cancer Res 2024 and Sci Transl Med 2021; Zhang et al. EMBO J 2023; Rao et al. Sci Immunol 2021, among others. In parallel, we have recently launched new collaborations with Drs. Tony Kossiakoff and Kunle Odunsi to develop universal, ionizing radiation–activated CAR T cell platforms. This work has already produced a first publication (Arina et al. Sci Adv 2025), with a second study currently under revision. We are seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral scholar to further advance this project under the mentorship of Drs. Ainhoa Arina and Ralph Weichselbaum, in a collaborative and resource-rich environment at the forefront of cancer immunotherapy research. Qualified applicants must possess a doctorate degree. Ideal candidates would possess a strong background in tumor immunology, with experience in animal models of cancer, cancer immunotherapy and/or radiation therapy, cellular immunology techniques/assays, and molecular biology. Successful Postdoctoral Scholars in our lab independently drive and conduct their research, with guidance from their supervisors and input from the rest of the group, and therefore they must work well in a team environment. We are looking for candidates from a diversity of backgrounds; indeed, over the past decade, Postdoctoral Scholars and Fellows in the Weichselbaum Lab have hailed from seven countries. |
Interested candidates should submit curriculum vitae, bibliography, a statement of research interests, and contact information for three references to Drs.

University of Wisconsin-Madison, Departments of Radiology, Madison, WI, USA Position Type: Full-time, Postdoctoral Fellowship Position Summary We are seeking a highly motivated and collaborative Postdoctoral Research Fellow to join our multidisciplinary team investigating the interplay between Alzheimer’s disease, cerebrovascular disease, and brain aging with neuroimaging. The Fellow will contribute to innovative projects leveraging multi-modal neuroimaging (MRI, PET), biofluid markers, and cognitive assessments to better understand disease mechanisms, develop imaging biomarkers, and identify predictors of cognitive decline in aging and dementia. Key Responsibilities • Develop and apply advanced image reconstruction, processing, and quantitative analysis methods for MRI-based markers of cerebrovascular health. • Lead and support analyses integrating structural and vascular MRI with PET, biofluid (CSF, plasma) and cognitive data from large longitudinal aging cohorts. • Collaborate with an interdisciplinary team of imaging scientists, radiologists, neuroscientists, biostatisticians and others. • Prepare manuscripts, present findings at national/international conferences, and contribute to writing of grant proposals. Preferred Qualifications • Ph.D. in Medical Physics, Biomedical Engineering, Neuroscience, Data Science, Physics, or a related field. • Demonstrated experience in neuroimaging and MRI acquisition, reconstruction, and analysis. • Familiarity with multi-modal data integration (imaging, biofluids, cognitive/clinical data). • Strong programming skills in Python, MATLAB, R, or similar. • Excellent written and oral communication skills. • Interest in Alzheimer’s disease, cerebrovascular disease, and translational neuroimaging. Why Join Us? • Engage with a leading research center focused on aging and dementia (Wisconsin ADRC). • Access to state-of-the-art MRI infrastructure and rich, well-characterized longitudinal data sets. • Opportunities for professional development, mentorship, and leadership within multidisciplinary projects. • Vibrant, collaborative research in a college town environment. Madison is a wonderful place to live. It has all the amenities of a big city but the ease of living of a small town. |
