Visiting Researcher jobs at Rutgers University - 158 jobs

Seeking a postdoctoral research associate to join a dynamic research team on a project that will involve field-based and laboratory-based experiments. Increasing use of the offshore coastal ocean is creating novel challenges for managing trade-offs among traditional users such as fisheries and new users such as renewable energy and aquaculture. At the same time, climate change and rapidly shifting marine habitats present additional stressors that affect the stability and productivity of marine fisheries. The areas leased for wind energy on the continental shelf occupy a vast geographic region within which substantial overlap exists among wind energy areas and historical commercial fisheries. We encourage qualified applicants who are motivated to support realistic and just solutions to these challenges facing ocean use to apply. The position is based at the Haskin Shellfish Research Lab (located in Port Norris, NJ) at Rutgers University, and will include travel to meet with project collaborators and advisors from management and fishing communities. Funding is in place for 12 months, with possible extension subject to funding. The postdoc will be motivated to contribute to practical solutions to the challenges presented by overlap among fisheries and offshore wind development. The postdoc will help us assess the potential for fishery enhancement or aquaculture to mitigate the impacts of displacement from fishing grounds due to offshore wind farms on shellfish fisheries. Both approaches - stock enhancement and aquaculture - present exciting potential mechanisms to support future coexistence of offshore wind and sustainable domestic food production in federally managed waters. The program will be highly collaborative with several fishery and management sectors, and the postdoc will be responsible for coordinating meetings with industry and management collaborators, collecting and analyzing relevant data, and writing reports and manuscripts about results. Opportunities for grant writing, undergraduate student mentoring, and presentations at science conferences will be encouraged. We are looking for applications from candidates with experience or interest in shellfish aquaculture, with a strong background in data analysis, and interest or experience in marine policy. This research could involve time at sea on commercial vessels. The project is highly collaborative and interdisciplinary, and we invite applications from candidates who excel in team work environments and are interested in building a strong network of collaborators.

Application for Postdoctoral Researcher in dual-frequency comb spectroscopy at the nanoscale - Copy The Princeton University Department of Chemistry seeks to hire a postdoctoral researcher for an appointment in Prof. Herschel Rabitz's laboratory. This job posting was previously posted as D-25-CHM-00003. The successful candidate will adapt a dual-frequency comb laser for use in conjunction with a unique tip-enhanced spectroscopy instrument, currently under development in Prof. Rabitz's lab, to produce the world's first nanoscale dual-frequency comb laser spectrometer. The resulting instrument will have many applications; notably, it will allow the spectroscopic characterization of nanoscale volumes in frozen cell sections, providing unprecedented maps of the distributions of small molecules within the cell. Determining the spatial distribution of small molecules within cells is crucial for understanding fundamental biological mechanisms, but it is currently not possible to do this for the vast majority of small molecules. The successful development of this instrument will permit addressing a host of unsolved problems in biology and has the potential to revolutionize the understanding of metabolism and signaling in healthy and diseased cells. The postdoctoral researcher will join an interdisciplinary team with strengths in physics, chemistry, and molecular biology. The existing team has successfully developed a cryogenic atomic force microscope that can characterize biological cell sections, and the postdoctoral researcher will adapt the setup for performing tip-enhanced dual-comb spectroscopy to identify cellular chemical species. The project is under the direction of Prof. Herschel Rabitz in the Department of Chemistry and Prof. Martin Jonikas in the Department of Molectular Biology. Applicants should have experience with dual-comb spectroscopy and the acquisition and processing of associated signals and data.

Application for 2025 Postdoctoral Research Associate - AI/machine learning for analytical and forensic chemistry The Skinnider Lab at Princeton University aims to recruit a postdoctoral fellow or more senior researcher to work on projects related to computational analysis of chemical and biochemical datasets. A major focus will be on the identification of small molecules from mass spectrometry-based metabolomics data, in part based on generative AI models of chemical structures. The position is available starting July 2025, and will remain open until excellent fits are found. The successful candidate will develop and apply computational approaches to chemical datasets, with artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML) being a major focus. Many of the laboratory's interests center around the identification of small molecules using mass spectrometry data, and the use of language models to predict the existence of undiscovered small molecules that are likely to be observed by mass spectrometry. Of particular interest for this position is the identification of emerging illicit drugs, also known as novel psychoactive substances, in seized drug products or clinical samples. The candidate will have the opportunity to work directly with experimentalists to validate predictions made by their machine-learning models, and to develop user-friendly tools that will be used by a broad community. The scope of the work builds on recent publications from the laboratory, e.g. integrating language models with mass spectrometry data (*************************************************** ********************************************************************* *************************************************** *************************************************** or executing large-scale meta-analyses of mass spectrometric datasets (**************************************************** The research is computational in nature but involves close interactions with experimental collaborators. Many of the problems are constrained by inherently low-quality or noisy data, and the successful candidate will be enthusiastic about contributing to data preprocessing and curation in addition to model development and evaluation. This opportunity will prepare candidates for a range of competitive positions in academia or industry that involve computational biology/chemistry, machine-learning for biological or chemical data, and drug discovery/design. Mentorship is taken seriously and every effort will be made to ensure the candidate is able to achieve goals in the next stage of their career. The successful candidate will be motivated, independent, and have strong written communication skills. Candidates are required to have experience in one or more of the following areas as demonstrated through at least one first-author publication: computational biology/bioinformatics, cheminformatics, analytical chemistry/mass spectrometry/metabolomics, or machine learning/computer science. 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. Individuals should have or be expected to have a PhD with appropriate research experience in computational biology, chemistry, biochemistry, computer science, biological or chemical engineering, forensic science, or a related field. To apply online, please visit ******************************************************* and submit a CV and cover letter. The cover letter should highlight 1-3 publications or preprints that you feel best address the requirement for experience in the above-mentioned areas. Please also include contact information for three references. Qualified candidates who pass an initial screening may be provided with short programming exercises to assess their skills. Only suitable candidates will be contacted. The work location for this position is in-person on campus at Princeton University.
