Flatiron Research Fellow, Structural & Molecular Biophysics and Biomolecular Design
The Center for Computational Biology (CCB) of the Simons Foundation’s Flatiron Institute is actively seeking enthusiastic, full‑time Flatiron Research Fellows to join its Structural & Molecular Biophysics and Biomolecular Design groups for a joint appointment in 2026. The role is part of the Molecular Ensemble Sampling and Simulation (MESS) collaboration. The goal at CCB is to advance the understanding of fundamental biological processes by developing theory, innovative modeling tools for large‑scale biophysical simulations, and computational frameworks for analyzing increasingly large experimental datasets. CCB’s research spans multiple biological organization scales, bridging microscopic detail and large‑scale behavior. Position Description
Flatiron Research Fellows are postdoctoral researchers with backgrounds in applied mathematics, statistics, computational biology, biophysics, computer science, engineering, mathematical physics, or related disciplines. Fellows will carry out an active, independently directed research program and collaborate with other CCB or Flatiron Institute members. In addition to research, Fellows will participate in seminars, colloquia, group meetings, and internal education opportunities. Fellows have access to the Flatiron Institute’s powerful scientific computing resources. Responsibilities
Perform theoretical and computational research Develop, implement, and maintain scientific software Organize and participate in CCB and Flatiron‑wide collaborative activities, including seminars, workshops and meetings Prepare manuscripts for publication and present at scientific conferences Assist in student mentorship Share expertise and provide training and guidance to CCB staff and visitors as needed 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, analysis, scientific computation, software and algorithm development, data analysis, inference, and image analysis Expertise in computational biology methods, data analysis, software and algorithm development, modeling, machine learning, and scientific simulation Ability to work well in an interdisciplinary environment and collaborate with experimentalists Strong oral and written communication, data documentation, and presentation skills Compensation and Benefits
Full-time annual compensation: $91,000 Competitive salary and outstanding benefits package provided by the Simons Foundation Application Instructions
To apply, please submit the following via the application portal: Cover Letter, including a summary of your most significant contributions in graduate school Curriculum vitae with publication list and, if relevant, links to software Research statement (no more than three pages) describing past results, current and future interests, and potential synergies with CCB Two letters of recommendation Applications for positions beginning in 2025 will be reviewed starting November 2025, on a rolling basis until the positions are filled. Submit complete applications by November 30, 2025. Selection Criteria
Past research accomplishments Proposed research program Synergy of applicant’s expertise and research proposal with existing CCB staff and research programs, and potential to cross boundaries within the MESS collaboration Contact
