Now Hiring Multiple SRS Positions!

Are you looking to pioneer innovative, interdisciplinary investigations that propel ocean science to new heights? If so: we’ve got great news! Bigelow Laboratory is looking to grow its team with three new Senior Research Scientists (SRSs) in natural products chemistry, deep-sea ecosystem exploration and research, or another area aligned with our strategic plan (which is linked from the listing: check it out below!).

At Bigelow Laboratory, each SRS leads a team to pursue their own funded research, educational, and entrepreneurial portfolio that advances our institutional mission. These positions head research programs and are equivalent to a principal investigator or faculty position at a research university.

We host a thriving community of scientists whose research is enabled by state-of-the-art facilities, a collaborative atmosphere, scientific freedom, a transparent and efficient management structure, support for work-life balance, and growing science and outreach capacity.

We will consider candidates at all career stages. The strongest candidates will have a demonstrated track record acquiring a diverse portfolio of sustained external funding and leading scientific programs.

Applications must be received by Sunday, November 1, 2026.
