Multiple post-doc positions are available in the Dynamical Systems Laboratory (DSL) at the Center for Urban Science and Progress, Tandon School of Engineering, New York University, in a wide variety of research projects that are signature scopes of our multidisciplinary research group. The positions are fully funded with a competitive salary.

We seek independent, motivated, and creative individuals to conduct fundamental research in the theory and application of complex systems. Candidates will make important contributions to one or multiple research projects supported by our several ongoing grants (see DSL: Active Projects). In particular, our research at CUSP seeks to elucidate the causes of
firearm-related harms in cities, understand human mobility patterns on different scales (such as commuting and migration), develop robotic-based assistive technologies for the visually impaired to navigate urban environments, and assist communities in the aftermath of natural disasters through bio-inspired solutions.
