Flatiron Institute Staff

Alumni Network

Supporting members’ professional growth in a dynamic community of scientists.

With members of all career stages — from established scientists to postdocs, pre-docs and interns — the Flatiron Institute's Alumni Network is a hub for computational scientists who once called the Flatiron Institute home. Alumni Network members keep in contact with Flatiron scientists past, present and future, are invited to select scientific events, are featured regularly on the institute’s website, and receive updates on peers' career paths in our biannual newsletter. All former institute members are invited to take part in our Alumni Network.
