(posted 2020/10/13)POSITION SUMMARY The Flatiron Institute's Center for Computational Mathematics (CCM) seeks scientists at all levels of seniority in disciplines including:
Research and Data Scientists are expected to lead active research programs at the forefront of their fields, to interact with other researchers in CCM, across the Flatiron Institute and the wider scientific community, as well as supervise/mentor postdoctoral fellows and undergraduate and/or graduate students. They are encouraged to participate in and shape the vibrant activities of the Institute such as workshops and seminars. They receive a research budget, participate in the selection and review of research staff, software engineers, and postdoctoral fellows within CCM, and have access to the Flatiron Instituteâs powerful scientific computing resources. Depending on levels of experience, positions may be at-will or a fixed term appointment. The anticipated start date is July to October, 2021, but is flexible. CCM is a leading center for the study of applied mathematics, machine learning, statistics, signal processing and related fields. Tremendous opportunities exist at the intersection of mathematics, computer science, statistics, and their scientific applications, with the lines between theory, algorithm development and software implementation often blurred. A major goal of CCM is to develop the next generation of simulation and analysis methods and to make them available to the scientific community. The Center also hosts an array of meetings, workshops and conferences, serving as a focal point for the field internationally. The Center is expected to double in size to about 60 members, including short- and long-term visitors. The Flatiron Institute, located in the heart of New York City, also hosts the Center for Computational Astrophysics, Center for Computational Biology, Center for Computational Quantum Physics, Scientific Computing Core, and the new Center for Computational Neuroscience.
