For questions about the position, contact Tejal Johri (Associate Director, RPDE) at rpde@princeton.edu. The submission must be online via https://www.princeton.edu/acad-positions/position/40561. We will begin processing applications after November 24, 2025, but applications may continue to be considered after the deadline.
