• Collaboration with one or more Andlinger Center associated faculty and/or research staff members on topics that are aligned with the mission of the Andlinger Center.
• The visitor guest lectures and/or teaches an Andlinger Center energy studies (ENE) or ENE-cross-listed course, with the goal of having the course material absorbed into a permanent ENE or ENE-cross-listed course ensuring sustained benefit for Princeton students.  All teaching appointments require approval by the Office of the Dean of the Faculty.
• The visitor presents a series of talks on areas of interest to a broad spectrum of Andlinger Center associated faculty, research staff and students, and/or organizes/participates in workshops, through which the visitor helps augment the conversation around one of the Andlinger Center’s research thrusts:
• built environment, transportation + infrastructure;
• electricity production, transmission + storage;
• fuels + chemicals;
• environmental sensing + remediation;
• decision + behavioral science, policy + economics.  

 

Applications from visitors with expertise in the energy/environment sector, from a variety of backgrounds, including industry, government, academia, and/or non-governmental organizations, are encouraged. Advanced degree is required.

 

Teaching component

Distinguished Postdoctoral Fellowships

 

The Andlinger Center for Energy and the Environment at Princeton University invites applications for its Distinguished Postdoctoral Fellows program, with start dates as early as February 2020. This program supports outstanding scholars whose research is related to energy and the environment, with a focus on innovative technological solutions, smart economic analyses, and/or impactful policy solutions to our most pressing energy and environmental challenges. 

Postdoctoral fellows must collaborate with one or more Princeton faculty or senior researcher within an energy or environment-related field and articulate an interdisciplinary research plan that is aligned with the mission of the Andlinger Center. Candidates with research plans that establish new collaborative links to or between affiliated faculty and researchers listed in the Andlinger Center’s research directory are especially encouraged to apply. 

This program provides a unique opportunity for postdoctoral fellows to:

• engage in theoretical and/or experimental research, which is either fundamental or applied in nature.

 

Fellows are expected to be appointed for two years, with renewal after the first year contingent upon satisfactory performance. Fellows will be appointed at the rank of postdoctoral research associate and will be provided a competitive salary, standard benefits and an annual allowance of $2,000 to support conference and career development travel.
