Careers

Applications are invited for an Associate Research Scientist position at CCQ in the field of Computational Theory of Correlated Materials. Applicants should have a strong background in the development and use of computational methods combining electronic structure and many-body approaches for explaining and predicting properties of materials with strong electronic correlations, and a strong research agenda in the field of quantum materials.

Directed by Antoine Georges and co-directed by Andrew Millis, the Center for Computational Quantum Physics (CCQ), located in New York City, is a leading international center for the study of equilibrium and non-equilibrium many-body quantum systems, with applications to condensed matter physics, materials science, chemistry and related fields. The development of the concepts, algorithms and code libraries needed to advance the field is fundamental to the work of the center. Research projects currently pursued at CCQ cover a broad range of methods and interest.

Review of applications will start on or about February 1, 2024 and continue 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 2024 internship period is from May 28 to August 9. The deadline for applications is January 15, 2024.

The Institute of Theoretical Physics (IPhT) of the CEA-Saclay (French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission), jointly with the Center for Computational Quantum Physics (CCQ) of the Simons Foundation’s Flatiron Institute, invites applications for a joint position in the area of computational quantum condensed matter physics. The position consists in a full-time CEA permanent position at IPhT/CEA-Saclay, of which the first three years will be spent on “detachement” as a full time Associate Research Scientist employed at the Flatiron Institute’s Center for Computational Quantum Physics (CCQ). Review of applications will start on or about November 15, 2023 and continue until the position is filled.

The Center for Computational Quantum Physics (CCQ) of the Simons Foundation’s Flatiron Institute, invites applications for multiple Flatiron Research Fellow (click here to apply for that position) 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 2024 and November 2024. Applications will be reviewed beginning in Fall 2023 and considered on a rolling basis until the positions are filled. For full consideration, applying by October 20, 2023 is recommended.

Flatiron Research Fellows-Software are positions for scientists who have recently completed their Ph.D. and whose work is more directly aligned with our software and coding efforts.
