Postdoctoral Research Associate - Military veterans preferred

Position: Postdoctoral Research Associate

Description: The Joseph Research Group at Princeton University is searching for postdoctoral candidates interested in computer simulation studies of intracellular spatiotemporal organization, biomolecular self-assembly, and soft condensed matter. The successful candidates will develop computer simulation approaches to understand compartmentalization inside cells (i.e., formation of biomolecular condensates) and to leverage these findings for bioengineering applications. Candidates completing (i.e., with a confirmed defense/viva date) or holding a PhD in chemical engineering, physics, bioengineering, chemistry, or a closely related field, with a strong interest in biological systems are particularly encouraged to apply. We seek candidates with expertise in some of the following areas: molecular dynamics, Monte Carlo simulations, statistical mechanics, computer programming (e.g., C++, Python), polymer theory, molecular modeling (e.g., of proteins, nucleic acids, ligands), coarse-grain and polymer model development, multiscale modeling, molecular simulation code/software (e.g., LAMMPS, GROMACS), machine learning. Prior experience with applying simulations to biomolecular systems is a plus but not required. Applicants should apply at: https://puwebp.princeton.edu/AcadHire/position/38622 Requirements for candidates: - include a CV (including a summary of technical skills and list of publications) - research statement (a discussion of past research and research interests) - contact information for three references. Appointments are for one year with the possibility of renewal pending satisfactory performance and continued funding. The work location for this position is in-person on campus at Princeton University. This position is subject to the University's background check policy.
