Job Description

The Brun Liquids and Elasticity Laboratory at Princeton is seeking a postdoctoral or more senior researcher with competence in fluid mechanics and elasticity. PhD in the field of soft matter is required. Expertise in modeling (e.g., scaling analysis, stability analysis), and imaging and image analysis strongly preferred. The selected candidate will join the group and its ongoing engineering-motivated, yet fundamental research projects, e.g., to further the development of additive manufacturing and the distribution of soft robotics into our daily lives.

Applicants must have a recent doctorate with appropriate research experience in cell biology, microfabrication, or mechanobiology, strong organizational and communications skills, and be prepared to work in a dynamic environment. Candidates should apply at: https://www.princeton.edu/acad-positions/position/28161 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.
