Overview
Flatiron Research Fellow, Statistical Biophysics, Center for Computational Biology (CCB) seeks enthusiastic, full-time post-doctoral Fellows to work on information processing in biological networks and nonequilibrium thermodynamics of living systems. Current areas of interest include molecular mechanisms and nonequilibrium thermodynamics in living systems responsible for regulatory functions such as signal transduction, molecular motor control, synchronization of biochemical oscillations, and gene regulation. The goal at CCB is to advance understanding of fundamental biological processes by developing theory, innovative modeling tools for large-scale biophysical simulations, and computational frameworks for analyzing large and complex experimental datasets. CCB spans several scales of biological organization and includes researchers, visiting scientists, graduate students, interns, and support staff. For more details on research areas and staff, see the program description for the Center for Computational Biology. Position Description
Flatiron Research Fellows in CCB are postdoctoral researchers with backgrounds in one or more of the following areas: applied mathematics, statistics, computational biology, biophysics, computer science, engineering, mathematical physics, or related disciplines. 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 research, Fellows contribute to the scientific community by participating in seminars, colloquia, and group meetings; developing software, mathematical and computational expertise through internal education opportunities; and sharing knowledge through scientific publications, presentations, and/or software releases, with the Institute's support. Fellows have access to Flatiron Institute resources and opportunities. 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 Flatiron-wide activities including seminars, workshops, and meetings Participating in preparation of manuscripts for publication and presentations at scientific conferences Assisting in student mentorship Sharing expertise and providing training and guidance to CCB staff and visitors as needed FRF positions are generally two-year appointments that can be renewed for a third year, contingent on performance. Fellows will be based at the Simons Foundation's offices in New York City and may be eligible for subsidized housing within walking distance of the Flatiron Institute. For more information about careers at the Flatiron Institute, please refer to the careers page of the foundation. Qualifications
Education Ph.D. in a relevant field (applied mathematics, statistics, computational biology, biophysics, computer science, engineering, mathematical physics, or related disciplines). Related Skills & Other Requirements Demonstrated abilities in mathematical modeling, statistical physics, stochastic processes, analysis and/or scientific computation, software and algorithm development, data analysis and inference, and image analysis Ability to perform original research in computational biology and to contribute expertise in computational methods, data analysis, software development, modeling, machine learning, and scientific simulation Ability to work well in an interdisciplinary environment and to collaborate with experimentalists Strong oral and written communication, data documentation, and presentation skills Compensation and Benefits
The full-time annual compensation for this position is $91,000 In addition to competitive salaries, the Institute provides an excellent benefits package Application Instructions
To apply, please submit the following via the application portal: Cover Letter including a summary of the applicant's most significant contributions in graduate school Curriculum Vitae with publications list and, if relevant, links to software Research Statement (no more than three pages) describing past results, current and future research interests, and potential synergies with CCB Letters of Recommendation, at least two Applications for available positions beginning in 2026 will be reviewed starting November 2025 and will be considered on a rolling basis until filled; for full consideration, submit by November 15, 2025. Selection Criteria
Applications will be evaluated based on: Past research accomplishments The proposed research program The synergy of the applicant's expertise and research proposal with existing staff and programs, and potential to cross boundaries within the Flatiron Institute Queries about the application process or CCB should be directed to ccbjobs at flatironinstitute dot org. Queries about CCB may also be directed to scientific staff at CCB. Our Commitment to Expanding Pathways to Science & Opportunities for All: The Simons Foundation is committed to expanding basic science and mathematics to benefit humankind and open pathways to science and mathematics careers. The Simons Foundation provides equal opportunities to all applicants without regard to race, religion, color, age, sex, pregnancy, national origin, sexual orientation, gender identity, genetic disposition, neurodiversity, disability, veteran status, or any other protected category under federal, state, and local law.
