Flatiron Research Fellow, Biophysical Modeling, CCB

Description

The Center for Computational Biology (CCB) of the Simons Foundation's Flatiron Institute is actively seeking enthusiastic, full-time post-doctoral Flatiron Research Fellows to join its Biophysical Modeling Group.

Position Description

Flatiron Research Fellows in CCB are individuals at the postdoctoral level with backgrounds in one or more of the following areas: applied mathematics, statistics, computational biology, biophysics, computer science, engineering, mathematical physics, or related disciplines.

Reporting to Research Scientists, Data Scientists or the Center Director, as appropriate, Fellows are expected to carry out an active research program that can be independently directed and/or involve substantial collaboration with other members of CCB or the Flatiron Institute.

In addition to their research, Fellows help build the rich scientific community at CCB and the Flatiron Institute by participating in seminars, colloquia, and group meetings; developing their software, mathematical and computational expertise through internal education opportunities; and sharing their knowledge through scientific publications, presentations, and/or software releases, with the financial support of the Institute.

Fellows have access to the Flatiron Institute's powerful scientific computing resources.

  • Responsibilities include but are not limited to:
  • Performing theoretical and computational research
  • Developing, implementing and maintaining scientific software
  • Participating in the organization of CCB and Flatironwide collaborative activities including seminars, workshops and meetings
  • Participating in the preparation of manuscripts for publication and of presentations at scientific conferences
  • Assisting in student mentorship
  • Sharing expertise and providing training and guidance to CCB staff and visitors as needed.

COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS
The full-time annual compensation for this position is $90,000.

In addition to competitive salaries, the Simons Foundation provides employees with an outstanding benefits package.

FRF positions are generally two-year appointments that can be renewed for a third year, contingent on performance.

Fellows will be based, and have a principal office or workspace, at the Simons Foundation's offices in New York City.

Fellows may also be eligible for subsidized housing within walking distance of the Flatiron Institute.

About the Center for Computational Biology, the Flatiron Institute, and the Simons Foundation

The goal at CCB is to advance the understanding of fundamental and historically challenging biological processes by developing theory, innovative modeling tools for large-scale biophysical simulations, and computational frameworks for analyzing increasingly large and complex experimental datasets.

Living systems are built hierarchically; as such, CCB's research activities span several scales of biological organization, bridging the gap between microscopic detail and large-scale behaviors, and providing natural continuity between our groups' efforts.
