Careers

The Center for Computational Quantum Physics (CCQ) of the Simons Foundation’s Flatiron Institute, invites applications for multiple Flatiron Research Fellow and Flatiron Research Fellow-Software postdoctoral positions. The initial appointment is for two years with possible renewal for a third year. Starting dates are flexible, typically between August 2025 and November 2025. Applications will be reviewed beginning in Fall 2024 and considered on a rolling basis until the positions are filled. Applications are still being accepted.

Flatiron Research Fellows are scientists who have recently completed the PhD and plan work on developing new concepts, algorithms, and codes needed to understand the many-particle quantum problem, and on the physical and chemical properties of systems requiring this new understanding.

The Center for Computational Quantum Physics (CCQ) of the Simons Foundation’s Flatiron Institute invites applications for one or more Associate Research Scientist positions. In exceptional circumstances, appointment at the Research Scientist level may be considered. While applicants interested in all areas of quantum many-body science will be considered, particular consideration will be given to applicants with a strong background and research agenda in out-of-equilibrium dynamics of quantum systems and applications of machine learning to quantum many-body systems.

Associate Research Scientists at CCQ are typically appointed for an initial 3 years period, with a possible extension for an additional 3 years. Promotion to a non term-limited Research Scientist position is possible upon review. For full consideration, application by January 1,2025 is recommended – review of applications will start soon after that date. Applications will be considered on a rolling basis until the position is filled.

The Center for Computational Quantum Physics invites applications for 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.

The Simons Foundation is committed to cultivating an inclusive work environment and provides equal opportunities to all employees and applicants for employment without regard to race, religion, color, age, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, gender identity, genetic disposition, neurodiversity, disability, veteran status, or any other protected category under federal, state and local law.

This is a paid position. The summer 2025 internship period is from May 27 to August 8. The deadline for applications is January 17, 2025.
