The National Science Foundation Engineering Research Center on Organic 

Composite Materials for Structured Organic Composites for 

Pharmaceutical, Nutraceutical, and Agrochemical Applications (C-SOC) has 

several openings for research associates.



C-SOC is a multi-university research center headquartered at Rutgers 

University with Purdue University, New Jersey Institute of Technology 

and the University of Puerto Rico at Mayaguez as core partners. The 

center's research mission is to develop a scientific foundation for 

optimal design of structured organic composites and develop science; and 

engineer methods for designing, scaling, optimizing and controlling 

relevant manufacturing processes.



We seek highly motivated individuals with a solid scientific background 

in one of the following areas:



1) Particle Technology,



2) Granular Mechanics and Granular Flows



3) Materials Science, with particular focus on soft organic matter



*4) Processing modeling*



*5) Optimization and Control*



Successful candidates should be able work independently, have excellent 

communication skills and able to work in collaborative projects. These 

abilities should be clearly demonstrated in the applicant's CV. The 

research activities are a hybrid of fundamental, academic research and 

applied, industrial investigations with strong support from federal, 

state and industrial sources.



Interested candidates with background in mathematical modeling and 

optimization are encouraged to send their CV to: Marianthi Ierapetritou
