Postdoctoral Research Associate or More Senior Researcher

Princeton University

The postdoctoral track of the CITP fellows' program is for people who have recently received or are about to receive a Ph.D. or doctorate degree and work on understanding and improving the relationship between technology and society. The priority areas of our center include (1) Platforms and Digital Infrastructure, (2) Data Science, AI and Society, and (3) Privacy and Security. CITP tightly integrates basic research, applied research, and societal engagement, enabling distinctive impact, both academic and societal. In this context, we welcome applicants from diverse backgrounds such as computer science, electrical and computer engineering, sociology, public policy, information science, communication, economics, political science, psychology, philosophy, and related technology disciplines. Selected candidates will be appointed at the postdoctoral research associate or more senior research rank. These are typically 12-month appointments, commencing on or about September 1, 2024 and can be renewed for a second-year contingent on performance and continued funding. Fellows in the postdoctoral track are not required or expected to teach, but if they wish, they may have the option of teaching. Teaching opportunities are subject to sufficient course enrollment and the approval of the Dean of the Faculty.

Postdoctoral track requirements:

  • Both CITP and Princeton University place high value on in-person collaborations and interactions, and we expect selected candidates to participate in-person at CITP.
  • Ph.D. or doctorate degree is expected. The appointment will not be finalized, and an exact start date will not be set, until the candidate has defended their thesis or has proof of a doctorate degree.

Applicants must apply online at https://www.princeton.edu/acad-positions/position/32041. Please submit a CV, cover letter, Research Statement, and contacts for 3 references. Candidates are encouraged to apply by the start-of-review date, Friday, December 1, for full consideration. We will accept applications after that date but will only consider them if the position has not yet been filled. Contact information for three references is required. If the candidate is shortlisted, we will contact the references to request letters.
