Careers

The Center for Computational Biology (CCB) of the Simons Foundation’s Flatiron Institute invites applications for our summer internship program. Our seasonal, full-time research interns will work in one or more of our acties areas of research, which includes: biological transport networks, biomolecular design, biophysical modeling, developmental dynamics, genomics, structural and molecular biophysics, and computer vision and machine learning. Interns will be assigned a primary mentor and research group within the center, and will participate in research group’s meetings and seminars. They will also participate in other center- and Flatiron Institute-wide activities such as guest lectures, training on use of the Institute’s robust scientific computing resources, and intern social activities.This is a paid, full-time internship that will run generally from late May through mid-August, and will take place in our New York City offices. Applications will be reviewed beginning in January 2025, and considered on a rolling basis until the positions are filled. For full consideration, application by January 17, 2025 is recommended.

The Center for Computational Biology (CCB) of the Simons Foundation’s Flatiron Institute is actively seeking enthusiastic, full-time post-doctoral Flatiron Research Fellows to join its Structural and Molecular Biophysics group. The Structural and Molecular Biophysics team, a collaborative effort between CCB and the Center for Computational Mathematics (CCM) uses computational tools to study biological macromolecules, running long timescale molecular simulations and developing statistical analysis and machine learning tools to better capture the dynamics of these molecules and understand their biological function. Areas of interest include in particular statistical mechanics, membrane protein structural biology, protein modeling with flexibility, cryo-electron microscopy, thermodynamics, modeling the effect of mutations, and intrinsically disordered proteins. Applicants with backgrounds in mathematics, statistics, structural biology, computational chemistry, biochemistry, biophysics, or computer science are especially encouraged to apply. We are further interested in those with backgrounds in software development with skills related to methods development in cryo-EM or molecular dynamics simulation or machine learning in the context of computer vision and 3D reconstruction. Applications will be reviewed beginning in December 2024 and considered on a rolling basis until the positions are filled. For full consideration, application by February 17, 2024 is recommended.

The Center for Computational Biology (CCB) of the Simons Foundation’s Flatiron Institute is actively seeking enthusiastic, full-time post-doctoral Flatiron Research Fellows to join its Biophysical Modeling Group. The Biophysical Modeling group focuses on the modeling and simulation of complex systems that arise in biology and soft condensed matter physics. Areas of interest include the dynamics of complex and active materials, and aspects of collective behavior and self-organization in both natural systems (e.g., inside the cell) and synthetic ones. Ongoing projects focus on understanding the organization and dynamics of the nucleus, the structure and assembly of spindles, the positioning and transport of cellular organelles, and fluid-structure problems in biology. Applications will be reviewed beginning in Fall 2024 and considered on a rolling basis until the positions are filled. For full consideration, application by October 18, 2024 is recommended.
