Careers

The Center for Computational Quantum Physics (CCQ) of the Simons Foundation’s Flatiron Institute, invites applications for temporary full-time positions as Predoctoral Researchers. This program provides graduate students pursuing their PhD 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 will be based onsite at the foundation in New York City. Applicants for this position must have the approval of their thesis advisor. The application deadline is April 7, 2025 to be considered for the fall 2025 session.

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.
