How to Apply to UC Merced Postdoctoral Positions
Open postdoctoral positions are advertised through UC Merced’s job portal. Any inquiries about a potential opening, application materials, and updates on application status should be communicated to the relevant faculty member or hiring unit. Applicants are also encouraged to reach out directly to the faculty member(s) whose research aligns with their interests within a department, center, or research unit. The faculty member and department (or sponsoring unit) determine fit, confirm mentoring and research alignment, and coordinate the appointment based on available space and funding. Postdoctoral title and pay classification and the associated benefits and tax treatment depend on the funding source and the specific appointment type.
