The Webb Group (Chemical and Biological Engineering) has an opening for a postdoctoral or more senior researcher. The researcher will perform research related to advancements in methods and applications at the intersection of statistical mechanics, multiscale simulation, and machine learning. The successful applicant will be appointed through the Chemical and Biological Engineering Department. Qualified candidates should possess strong technical computational skills as well as expertise in molecular simulation (atomistic/coarse-grained modeling, enhanced sampling) and/or machine learning (e.g., deep learning, generative modeling, probabilistic modeling, embedding techniques). Domain knowledge related to soft materials or polymer physics is also of interest.

Princeton University is committed to diversity, equity and inclusion. We actively seek students, faculty, and staff of exceptional ability and promise who share in our commitment to excellence in teaching and scholarship, and who will bring a diversity of viewpoints and cultures. In doing so, we encourage applications from individuals whose personal identities, backgrounds and/or interests (as demonstrated by their research, teaching, service, mentoring and/or advising) align with our commitments and will contribute to the excellence and diversity, in its broadest terms, of our department.

Applicants should apply at: https://www.princeton.edu/acad-positions/position/33702, and include a cover letter, CV (including a list of publications), research interest statement (a discussion of past research, expertise, and research interests), and contact information for three references. The Term of appointment is based on rank. Positions at the postdoctoral rank are for one year with the possibility of renewal pending satisfactory performance and continued funding; those hired at more senior ranks may have multi-year appointments.
