  The Department of Applied Physics and Applied Mathematics (APAM) at Columbia University in the City of New York invites applications for Associate Research Scientist positions in the area of magnetically confined plasma research.  The successful candidate will advance research in magnetically confined plasmas and support the broader goals of the Columbia Fusion Research Center. In the tokamak area, the candidate may conduct research on experimental tokamak facilities in the public sector. Examples include the DIII-D tokamak located at General Atomics or the National Spherical Torus Experiment Upgrade located at Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory, or tokamaks located abroad. In the stellarator area, the candidate may conduct research in coil optimization, energetic particle physics, and other related activities. Activities may also be conducted in support of industrially sponsored research contracts originating from a wide array of sponsors, including...

  The Department of Biomedical Engineering is looking for a Staff Associate III.  This position is available in the Laboratory for Stem Cells and Tissue Engineering by Dr. Gordana Vunjak-Novakovic. We are looking for a highly motivated Research Engineer skilled in computational modeling and basic laboratory techniques to join our dynamic laboratory team. We are working on multiple tissue engineering projects for improving human health. Please see our website for more information: gvnlab.bme.columbia.edu We expect the Staff Associate III to lead the development and application of advanced computational models to simulate, predict, and optimize novel micro-bioreactors and cell culture protocols. This role will focus on creating sophisticated "digital twins" of our tissue engineering systems by integrating COMSOL multiphysics simulations with machine learning models derived from experimental data. 1) Functional Knowledge and Technical Expertise (50%) a....
