Sponsored Postdoctoral Opportunities
We are seeking highly motivated postdoctoral associates to join our interdisciplinary research team. Our group collaborates with leading teams at Cornell University and external partners, providing a dynamic and supportive environment for impactful, cutting-edge research.
Qualified candidates will receive sponsorship and support to apply for prestigious postdoctoral opportunities, including:
These positions offer competitive salaries and comprehensive Cornell employee benefits, including health insurance and retirement plans.
Ph.D. Research Positions
We invite self-motivated and adaptable students to join the PEESE research group as Ph.D. researchers with full financial support. Successful applicants typically possess prior first-authored publications and demonstrate adaptability to engage in sponsored projects within an interdisciplinary research setting.
Our Ph.D. students contribute to impactful research with both fundamental and practical applications, collaborating with industries and NGOs to address real-world challenges. Some also gain valuable professional experience through internships with leading companies, including JP Morgan, Amazon, Microsoft, Meta, Intel, ExxonMobil, and Dow Chemical.
How to Apply
Interested candidates can apply through one of the following Cornell programs:
- Ph.D. program in Systems
- Ph.D. program in Computer Science
- Ph.D. program in Applied Mathematics
- Ph.D. program in Electrical and Computer Engineering
- Ph.D. program in Civil and Environmental Engineering
- Ph.D. program in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering
- Ph.D. program in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering
- Ph.D. program in Operations Research and Information Engineering
Prospective Master’s Students
We welcome self-funded M.S. students committed to high-quality thesis research. M.S. students are expected to engage in original and innovative research, often leading to Ph.D. studies or careers in industry.
Interdisciplinary coursework enhances graduate research endeavors, with recommended courses such as CS 6703: AI for Science and CS 6780: Advanced Machine Learning. Additional courses offered by PEESE are available to support specific research needs.
Potential Research Funding Support
M.S. students are required to be self-funded, but exceptional research progress may qualify them for partial or full financial aid from PEESE’s sponsored research grants after the first year. In some cases, students have received stipends exceeding the Ph.D. assistantship rate due to their outstanding research contributions.
PEESE occasionally accepts students from the CBE and ECE M.Eng. programs, non-thesis professional degrees distinct from research-focused M.S. programs, with some earning prestigious project awards for their exceptional work.
