Senior Research Software Engineer

Overview
Do you have a background in computational research and love to write code? Do you want to help enable and advance groundbreaking research in space physics? If so, Princeton University's Research Computing department is recruiting a Research Software Engineer to join its RSE Group and the Space Physics Group in the Department of Astrophysical Sciences.
In the Space Physics Group, you will create software that supports the Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe (IMAP) mission. The probe launched in 2025 to explore the details of particle acceleration and the Sun's interaction with the local interstellar medium. The instruments on board collect and transmit data back to Earth, providing IMAP scientists with opportunities to make new discoveries about the global heliosphere.
In the RSE Group, we collectively provide computational research expertise to multiple divisions within the University. As a central team of software experts, we are focused on improving the qual...
