Assistant Professor, Associate Professor, Professor in Princeton, New Jersey at Princeton University

The Omenn-Darling Bioengineering Institute at Princeton University, in partnership with The Department of Computer Science, invites applications for new faculty positions in the area of Computational Bioengineering, at the Assistant, Associate, or Full Professor rank.

We welcome applications from all areas of computational bioengineering. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to, the development and application of novel algorithms and machine learning/AI techniques for engineering and extracting insights from biological systems and data sets (genomics, proteomics, imaging, neuroscience), synthetic and chemical biology approaches to cellular computation and biomolecular circuit design, and related areas at the interface of computer/data science and the life sciences.

Applicants must hold a Ph.D. in Engineering, Computer Science, Physics, Chemistry, Neuroscience, Quantitative Biology or related disciplines, and have a demonstrated record of excellence and leadership in research, commensurate with career stage. We seek faculty members who will be instrumental to creating an ecosystem of excellence, with a commitment to teaching and service in our growing community.

Princeton recently launched the Omenn-Darling Bioengineering Institute, including a new Bioengineering Ph.D. program, and a new state-of-the-art facililty. The institute brings together a strong group of faculty engaged in Bioengineering-related research, spanning engineering departments including Chemical & Biological Engineering, Electrical and Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Civil and Environmental Engineering, and Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering, as well as across Princeton’s strong interdisciplinary biology units including Molecular Biology, Ecology & Evolutionary Biology, the Lewis Sigler Institute for Integrative Genomics, and the Princeton Neuroscience Institute.

We seek creative and enthusiastic candidates with the background and skills to build upon and complement existing strengths and help expand Princeton's Bioengineering program into new and exciting research areas.

Review of applications will begin on November 1, 2026. Applicants should submit online: a cover letter, curriculum vitae, including a list of publications and presentations, a 3 page summary of research accomplishments and future plans, a 1 page teaching statement, and contact information for three references. In addition, candidates progressing in the selection process will be asked to provide a link to a short video presentation of a research talk.
