Associate Research Scientist – Machine Learning, CCM (Joint with with Cooper Union)
Full-time|New York, NY

The Flatiron Institute, an internal research division of the Simons Foundation, is a community of scientists who are working to use modern computational tools to advance our understanding of science both through the analysis of large, rich datasets and through the simulations of physical processes. Our mission is to advance scientific research through computational methods, including data analysis, theory, modeling and simulation.

Directed by Dr. Leslie Greengard, the mission at the Flatiron Institute’s Center for Computational Mathematics is to create new mathematical approaches, algorithms and software to advance scientific research in multiple disciplines, often in collaboration with other Flatiron Centers. CCM has particularly strong research groups in the areas of numerical analysis, image and signal processing, computational statistics, and machine learning.
