Princeton University's Program on Science and Global Security (SGS), based in the School of Public and International Affairs, is seeking a postdoctoral research associate to advance our work on nuclear arms control, disarmament, nonproliferation, verification, and on the global security challenges associated with emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, quantum technologies, and space-based systems, including large satellite constellations.
A recent PhD in physics, engineering, computer science, or other relevant fields and strong interest in technical and policy research to advance national and international policies for a safer and more peaceful world are required.
The benefits-eligible postdoctoral appointment is for a twelve-month term, starting around September 4 or an earlier agreed date, with the possibility of renewal for another months, contingent on satisfactory performance and funding.
Salary will be determined on the basis of experience and accomplishments. Postdoctoral researchers with SGS are expected to be active participants in one or more of our collaborative projects, work with and help mentor graduate students in our Program, participate in the regular SGS seminar series and other Program activities, and assist with relevant undergraduate or graduate courses.
Program faculty and senior researchers will offer mentoring to support professional development. Former postdoctoral researchers with SGS have pursued careers in academia, nongovernmental and international organizations, and in government (including in the executive branch and congress) as well as national laboratories.
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.
Your application must be submitted online at and should include a cover letter, a curriculum vita, a 1-2 page research proposal, a relevant writing sample, and the names and contact information of two individuals who can provide letters of reference.
This position is subject to the University's background check policy. The work location for this position is in-person on campus at Princeton University.
