Postdoc Opportunities in Economics in United States

This fellowship places a doctoral-level fellow within the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Critical Minerals and Energy Innovation, specifically in the Hydropower and Hydrokinetic Office in Washington, DC. The role centers on the Energy-Water Resources program, which supports research, coordination, and strategic development around the interdependence of energy and water systems. The fellow will work on topics spanning regional energy-water technology pilots, alternative water sources such ...

The Beckman Research Institute of City of Hope is seeking a postdoctoral fellow to join Dr. Jen Jen Yeh’s laboratory in Duarte, California. The laboratory investigates the pathogenesis and pharmacogenomics of pancreatic cancer to accelerate the development of effective treatments. The research uses molecular and genomic data together with human-in-mouse models. Previous work in the laboratory has identified four core pancreatic cancer subtypes with important biological and clinical implications....

Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory is seeking a Postdoctoral Researcher in Energy Systems Modeling to join the Energy Analysis Division in Berkeley, California. The work supports research aimed at developing competitive, affordable, reliable, and lower-impact energy systems. The researcher will contribute to multidisciplinary projects focused on process models, technical performance benchmarks, and prospective technoeconomic assessments for critical gas separations involving ammonia, hydrogen...

Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to study water infrastructure systems and their management under changing environmental conditions and compounding stressors. The research combines water systems modeling, data analysis, decision analytics, and uncertainty quantification to evaluate vulnerabilities and identify adaptation strategies for environmental extremes, increasing demand, and land-use change. The researcher will primarily contribute to two projects...

Idaho National Laboratory is recruiting a Postdoctoral Researcher for the Energy and Water Systems Analysis group in Idaho Falls. The position focuses on applying energy systems data science to hydropower, marine energy, and related power-system assets. The researcher will use machine learning, data analytics, mathematical optimization, reliability analysis, and quantitative risk assessment to address engineering and energy-sector challenges. Potential projects include reliability assessment of ...

Duke University’s Department of Neurobiology is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to study multiplexing in the primate brain —how fluctuating activity in individual neurons and across neural populations can encode more than one signal at the same time. The project uses Neuropixels to record neural activity in cortical regions, currently including the auditory cortex, with potential expansion to other cortical structures such as the visual cortex. The research focuses on neural representations of...

Carnegie Mellon University’s College of Engineering is recruiting a Research Associate I in the Biomedical Engineering Department for a project focused on understanding the relationships between local field potentials and action potentials recorded from nearby, and the same, electrodes. The role combines data analysis with experimental observation to study these neural signals and determine how they relate to one another. The successful candidate will support research by attending project meetin...

Carnegie Mellon University’s Department of Mechanical Engineering is seeking a Postdoctoral Research Associate for a project at the intersection of cell engineering, biomaterials, and device-oriented bioengineering. The role focuses on characterizing engineered mammalian cells for therapeutic output and biomarker sensing, with particular attention to vascularization, angiogenesis, and tissue-engineering behavior in tissue-on-chip and implantable device environments. The postdoctoral researcher w...

The Environmental Markets Lab (emLab) at the University of California, Santa Barbara is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to lead applied research in environmental and resource economics. This position centers on understanding how carbon markets and other compliance-market mechanisms can better incentivize climate mitigation in nature-based systems. The successful researcher will contribute to a research program developed in partnership with the Environmental Defense Fund. Illustrative topics in...
