"Postdoctoral Research Associate"

The Computational Turbulent Reacting Flow Laboratory, led by Prof. Michael E. Mueller, invites applications for postdoctoral or more senior research positions in the field of atmospheric aerosol modeling. Positions may begin as soon as September 2025. A Ph.D. in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, Civil and Environmental Engineering, Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, Geosciences, Computational Science and Engineering, or a related area is required.

The position will involve developing models and algorithms for the evolution of inorganic aerosols in the atmosphere, building upon the research group's efforts in modeling combustion-generated aerosols. These modeling frameworks will be used to understand the impact of inorganic aerosols on sunlight scattering and droplet/ice crystal nucleation.

The researcher will interact with graduate students and postdoctoral researchers in the research group and in collaborating experimental research groups. Previous experience in computational modeling of atmospheric aerosols and parallel computing/software development is strongly desired. 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. Appointments are subject to the University's background check policy. The work location for this position is in-person on campus at Princeton University.

Applications will be accepted until the positions are filled. Applicants must apply online and submit their vitae, including a list of publications and presentations, a summary of research accomplishments and interests, and the names and contact information of at least three potential references to https://www.princeton.edu/acad-positions/position/39601.

Expected Salary Range: 65000-70000
