Postdoc
Princeton University
The Princeton DeCenter invites applications for its inaugural cohort of Postdoctoral Fellows, and more senior researchers with academic or industry experience beginning in Fall 2026.
The DeCenter is a newly established interdisciplinary hub at Princeton University devoted to exploring the decentralization of power and trust through blockchain (and similar) technology.
We seek to create a truly interdisciplinary cohort of postdoctoral fellows to jointly lead research projects. Fellows' primary responsibilities will therefore be to conduct research and collaborate with others in cross-disciplinary research initiatives. We also seek to maintain a vibrant interdisciplinary community, and fellows will also be responsible for co-organizing weekly seminars, occasional workshops, etc. that are of interest to the broader DeCenter community. An ideal candidate would satisfy the following selection criteria:
A strong record of research in their primary discipline.
A demonstrated ability to lead independent projects.
A demonstrated ability (ideal) or demonstrated interest (necessary) in interdisciplinary engagements, and the ability to serve as a strong bridge between their primary discipline and others.
A strong record of research (ideal) or demonstrated interest (necessary) in foundational research concerning blockchain technology or similar technologies that support the decentralization of trust.
