OVERVIEW:
The https://www.simonsfoundation.org/flatiron/center-for-computational-biology/ (CCB) of the https://www.simonsfoundation.org/'s https://www.simonsfoundation.org/flatiron is actively seeking enthusiastic, full-time post-doctoral Flatiron Research Fellows to join its https://www.simonsfoundation.org/flatiron/center-for-computational-biology/structural-and-molecular-biophysics-collaboration/ and https://www.simonsfoundation.org/flatiron/center-for-computational-biology/biomolecular-design/ groups for a joint appointment in 2026, as part of the Molecular Ensemble Sampling and Simulation (MESS) collaboration.
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. CCB currently comprises more than 45 research and data scientists at career stages from recent Ph.D. graduates through senior scientists, as well as visiting scientists, guest researchers, graduate students, interns, and administrative support staff. For a full description of CCB research areas and scientific staff, please see https://www.simonsfoundation.org/flatiron/center-for-computational-biology/.
The Structural & Molecular Biophysics group uses long timescale molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, integrated with experimental observables (especially cryo-electron microscopy data), and machine learning tools to better capture the dynamics of biological macromolecules and to understand their function. Complementing this work, the Biomolecular Design group applies the current understanding of the theory of protein folding and function to design new, synthetic heteropolymers, built from exotic chemical building blocks, which fold into new structures inaccessible to natural proteins, and which perform new functions. In addition to giving rise to useful new molecules that can serve as drugs, nanomaterials, or catalysts, this also serves as the ultimate test of our understanding of protein folding.
Together through the Molecular Ensemble Sampling and Simulation (MESS) collaboration, the groups are working together to advance computational methods for the design and understanding of molecular motion, and addressing current obstacles to accuracy and tractability. The successful candidate will carry out a research project to advance these goals. Particular foci include 1) engineering open-source software infrastructure to facilitate analysis of macromolecular motion and design of motile macromolecules, 2) integration of physics-based simulation and machine learning methods, 3) development of enhanced approximation methods (implicit solvation, coarse-graining, etc.) to improve the tractability of currently expensive calculations, 4) the incorporation of molecular design tools to interpret cryo-EM data, or 5) the design of molecules of potential medical interest.

OVERVIEW:
The https://www.simonsfoundation.org/flatiron/center-for-computational-biology/ (CCB) of the https://www.simonsfoundation.org/'s https://www.simonsfoundation.org/flatiron is actively seeking enthusiastic, full-time post-doctoral Flatiron Research Fellows to join its https://www.simonsfoundation.org/flatiron/center-for-computational-biology/biophysical-modeling/ and https://www.simonsfoundation.org/flatiron/center-for-computational-biology/genomics/ groups in 2026.
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. CCB currently comprises more than 45 research and data scientists at career stages from recent Ph.D. graduates through senior scientists, as well as visiting scientists, guest researchers, graduate students, interns, and administrative support staff. For a full description of CCB research areas and scientific staff, please see https://www.simonsfoundation.org/flatiron/center-for-computational-biology/.
This joint position bridges two complementary efforts within CCB. The Biophysical Modeling group focuses on the modeling and simulation of complex systems that arise in biology and soft condensed matter physics. Areas of interest include the dynamics of complex and active materials, and aspects of collective behavior and self-organization in both natural systems (e.g., inside the cell) and synthetic ones. The Genomics group develops AL/ML methods to interpret genomes and distill the immensely complex networks that form the foundation of human biology and disease. Current areas of interest include developing foundation models for genome interpretation; creating methods for multi-omic and spatial data analysis and integration with phenotypic and clinical data; and advancing AI-based frameworks for network modeling and regulatory module detection.
Together, these groups aim to develop integrative, hybrid models that combine deep learning for genome interpretation with mechanistic biophysical representations of its structure, dynamics, and regulation. Their joint work seeks to build theoretical and computational frameworks that link genome-scale regulatory models with quantitative, physics-based understanding of molecular and cellular organization. A key focus is on predictive modeling of how genetic variation alters the biophysical properties of neurons and the downstream phenotypic manifestations relevant to ASD and related conditions.
The uniqueness of this position lies in its explicitly interdisciplinary nature – offering the opportunity to work at the intersection of AI/ML genomic modeling and mechanistic biophysical modeling – and in its close integration with directed experimental investigations within the CCBx experimental network.
Strong applicants with backgrounds in applied and computational mathematics, biophysics, AI/machine learning, computational biology, computer science/engineering, statistical inference, or related fields are particularly encouraged to apply.

The primary objective of the Biological Transport Networks group is to unravel the intricate relationships among the architecture of transport networks, their physical and developmental constraints, and their contribution to the overall fitness of the organisms they serve. Ultimately, we seek to integrate computation, theory and experimental data to bridge our micro- and mesoscopic knowledge of living processes and the intricacies of large-scale networks. By doing so, we aspire to unveil biological principles that can provide insights into comparative physiology across different species. Of particular interest is the modeling of transport networks across multiple scales, including their function, development and remodeling. We employ advanced computational and theoretical techniques, such as large scale flow network simulations, machine learning, and methods from topological data analysis, to a broad set of problems. Examples include modeling vertebrate and invertebrate circulatory systems, building transport-informed models for neuron growth and maturation, quantifying large datasets of the microvasculature, and understanding and incorporating the effects of nonlinearities into networks of vessels.

Its theoretical and computational work is designed to integrate and abstract rapidly accumulating heterogeneous datasets, to propose critical tests of multiscale regulatory mechanisms, and to guide our own genetic and imaging experiments. The group's research is organized around three main themes: the mechanistic modeling of pattern formation and morphogenesis; the synthesis and decomposition of developmental trajectories; and the modeling of human developmental defects.
We are looking for candidates interested in data-driven modeling of biological systems, especially in the context of behavioral changes during postembryonic development. We have devised a throughput approach for recording such changes in Drosophila and are evaluating a range of data analysis and modeling for data mining.

SUMMARY:
Flatiron Research Fellow, Biophysical Modeling, Center for Computational Biology
Flatiron Institute – Simons Foundation
Location: 162 5th Avenue, NY, NY 10010
Open Date: Sep 16, 2025
The https://www.simonsfoundation.org/flatiron/center-for-computational-biology/ (CCB) of the https://www.simonsfoundation.org/'s https://www.simonsfoundation.org/flatiron is actively seeking enthusiastic, full-time post-doctoral Flatiron Research Fellows to join its
https://www.simonsfoundation.org/flatiron/center-for-computational-biology/biophysical-modeling/ in 2026.
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. CCB currently comprises more than 45 research and data scientists at career stages from recent Ph.D. graduates through senior scientists, as well as visiting scientists, guest researchers, graduate students, interns, and administrative support staff. For a full description of CCB research areas and scientific staff, please see https://www.simonsfoundation.org/flatiron/center-for-computational-biology/.
The Biophysical Modeling group focuses on the modeling and simulation of complex systems that arise in biology and soft condensed matter physics. Areas of interest include the dynamics of complex and active materials, and aspects of collective behavior and self-organization in both natural systems (e.g., inside the cell) and synthetic ones. Ongoing projects focus on understanding the organization and dynamics of the nucleus, the structure and assembly of spindles, the positioning and transport of cellular organelles, and fluid-structure problems in biology. To address these, often in close collaboration with experimental collaborators, we build numerical and theoretical models from the ground up, revealing how the known mechanics of individual components give rise to collective behavior. Many such phenomena occur only within dense, highly interacting systems, inaccessible to standard techniques. To probe such regimes requires the development of fast and scalable algorithms for many-component systems, and of coarse-grained models that can be analyzed and simulated.
Strong applicants with backgrounds in applied and computational mathematics, biophysics, engineering, statistical inference, and related fields are particularly encouraged to apply.
