Application for Postdoctoral Research Associate - Future Faculty in the
Physical Sciences (FFPS) Fellowship

 

Princeton University invites applications for the newly established Future
Faculty in the Physical Sciences (FFPS) Fellowship. We aim to appoint a
diverse cohort of early career scientists who will conduct research in
physics, broadly defined to include the subdisciplines of astrophysics,
biophysics, and geophysics and planetary physics, independently or in
collaboration with Princeton faculty, postdoctoral researchers and students.
The Fellowship aims to increase excellence at Princeton by bringing scholars
with unique backgrounds and insights, whose work will contribute to the
promotion of groups that have been historically, and are presently,
under-represented in physics and related fields. Candidates who have
demonstrated a strong commitment to remedying the historical
under-representation of people of color and women in physics (or the
physical sciences more generally) through work promoting inclusion, equity,
and diversity through teaching, advising, mentoring, advocacy, or public
outreach are especially encouraged to apply. 

FFPS Fellows will have a primary home in the Department of Physics, of
Astrophysical Sciences, or of Geosciences, and will be part of an actively
mentored research community across institutional affiliations, which may
include the Princeton Center for Theoretical Science, the Center for the
Physics of Biological Function, the Princeton Gravity Initiative, and other
Centers and Programs. The Fellowship includes an annual research fund.
Appointments will be made at the postdoctoral or more senior research rank.
Appointments are for one year, renewable annually based on satisfactory
performance, for a total of up to three years. The expected starting date is
September 1, 2021, although this is flexible. A PhD in the physical sciences
or a related field is required.

Interested persons should submit a curriculum vitae, a bibliography, a
statement of research interests and plans, and provide contact information
for three references by November 4, 2020, 11:59 p.m. EST. 
A personal statement and/or a description of the applicant's work in
broadening opportunities in the field should be included as a separate
section of the research statement. Applicants must apply via the web at:
<https://www.princeton.edu/acad-positions/position/17561>
https://www.princeton.edu/acad-positions/position/17561. Letters of
recommendation will also be handled through this site. All applications
received by November 4, 2020, 11:59 p.m. EST will be fully considered, but
applications will continue to be accepted until the position(s) are filled.
Only submissions through the application website will be considered.  For
further inquiries, contact  <mailto:phychair at princeton.edu>
phychair at princeton.edu.

This position is subject to the University's background check policy.
Princeton University is an equal opportunity employer and all qualified
applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to age,
race, color, religion, sex, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or
expression, national origin, disability status, protected veteran status, or
any other characteristic protected by law.
