The Department of Physics and Astronomy at Iowa State University is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to work at the intersection of theoretical nuclear physics and quantum computing. The project focuses on ab initio Hamiltonian methods and their applications to quantum computing, with research directions spanning light-front quantized field theory and microscopic nuclear structure theory . The successful candidate will investigate fundamental properties of atomic nuclei and strongly interacting...

The Computational Multiphase Transport Laboratory (CMTL) at Worcester Polytechnic Institute invites applications for a postdoctoral research associate position focused on computational multiphase flow. The project centers on high-fidelity modeling of droplet dynamics and droplet interactions with other droplets and solid surfaces, with an emphasis on aircraft and wind-turbine icing. The researcher will study processes such as droplet impact, deformation, coalescence, breakup, splashing, heat tra...

The Department of Earth System Science at the University of California, Irvine is seeking a postdoctoral scholar to investigate the global spatial organization of precipitation, soil moisture, and vegetation using satellite observations and models. This research sits at the intersection of hydrology, remote sensing, and Earth system science, with a strong emphasis on understanding how hydrologic and vegetation conditions vary across spatial scales. The project examines the environmental factors ...

The Department of Earth System Science at the University of California, Irvine is seeking a postdoctoral scholar for the ADVIce project, an NSF- and NERC-funded US-UK collaboration examining decadal variability in Arctic and Antarctic sea ice. The project combines observations, reconstructions, and Earth System Models to understand why sea ice has shown both rapid decline and unusual periods of slowdown or surge. The successful scholar will work in the Climate Modelling Lab at UCI under the supe...

This postdoctoral opening in the Department of Earth System Science at the University of California, Irvine focuses on improving subseasonal-to-seasonal prediction of precipitation for the west to southwest United States. The project examines processes in the atmosphere and ocean-atmosphere interactions that may improve forecasts on 2-8 week and 2-6 month time scales. The scholar will work with Gudrun Magnusdottir and join a highly interdisciplinary research environment in Earth System Science. ...

The Department of Earth System Science at the University of California, Irvine is recruiting a postdoctoral scholar for a project on rapid-response modeling of air quality and the health impacts of energy policy. The role sits within the Climate, Pollution, and Solutions group led by Professor Lyssa Freese and is embedded in a broader interdisciplinary effort with university researchers and environmental organizations. The scholar will develop and apply air pollution and atmospheric chemistry mo...

The Lehigh University Plasma Control Laboratory is recruiting a postdoctoral researcher to join the Lehigh University Plasma Control Group and contribute to computational fusion plasma physics research focused on turbulent transport, energetic-particle physics, predictive modeling, and AI-enabled digital twins for magnetically confined fusion plasmas in tokamaks. The project combines high-fidelity simulations, reduced transport modeling, experimental validation, and machine learning. The postdoc...

This postdoctoral position is based in the Department of Marine and Environmental Sciences and the Center for Marine Ecological Genomics at Northeastern University’s Marine Science Center in Nahant, Massachusetts. The successful researcher will join the Lotterhos Lab and contribute to MacroMar, an international consortium building an interoperable database of population genomic data. The project centers on evolutionary genomics and large-scale synthesis. The postdoc will lead comparative and syn...
