About the role

Simons Foundation is seeking a Flatiron Research Fellow for the Initiative for Computational Catalysis (ICC) in New York City. You will conduct theoretical and computational research, develop software, and contribute to ICC and Flatiron activities, mentoring students as appropriate. The role emphasizes publishing results, open-source software, and active participation in conferences. Start date is late summer 2027 with a potential renewal based on performance.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
