Careers

The Center for Computational Quantum Physics (CCQ) of the Simons Foundation’s Flatiron Institute, hires temporary full-time Predoctoral Researchers for fall and spring sessions each year. This program provides graduate students pursuing their Ph.D. in a relevant field the opportunity to be employed at the CCQ for four months for the purpose of working on a research project with one or more CCQ staff mentors. This position is based onsite at the foundation in New York City. Applications for fall sessions are accepted in February and March. Applications for spring sessions are accepted in July and August of the previous year.

Each summer, the Center for Computational Quantum Physics hires seasonal, full-time research interns interested in developing and implementing the concepts, algorithms and codes needed to understand the quantum mechanical behavior of many-particle systems, and to translate this understanding into useful predictions of the behavior of molecules and materials. Under the mentorship of one or more CCQ scientists during the summer, Research Assistants/Associates will contribute to CCQ research by joining an ongoing research project.

These are paid, temporary full-time positions based onsite at the foundation here in New York City. Applications are accepted from December 1st until mid-January for the upcoming summer.
