POSITION SUMMARY
The Department of Physics at New York University, jointly with the Center for Computational Quantum Physics (CCQ) of the Simons Foundations Flatiron Institute, invites applications for a position in the general area oftheoretical/computational quantum condensed matter and atomic molecular and optical physics. The position is a 50-50 joint appointment between New York University and CCQ, with the appointee spending half of her or his effort ineach place. At NYU the opening is at the tenure track Assistant Professor level and, at CCQ, it is at the Associate Research Scientist level. The position is based at the Simons Foundation and NYU offices in New York City. It isexpected that, subject to satisfactory progress in research, the Associate Research Scientist Appointment will continue for the duration of the NYU untenured faculty appointment.The holder of this joint appointment will be considered for promotion to a full time NYU tenured professorship according to NYU's standard policies and procedures.
A Ph.D. in physics or a closely related field is required, and candidates will typically have 1-6 years of postdoctoral research experience, although more senior candidates may be considered in exceptional circumstances. Theresponsibilities for this joint position include but are not limited to: establishing a leading research program with a significant computational component; teaching at the undergraduate and graduate levels at NYU; contributing to thescientific activities at the Flatiron Institute by assisting with the organization of CCQ-related conferences, workshops, group seminars, and summer programs, and to supervise research conducted by Flatiron Research Fellows andsummer interns.
In order to be considered for this joint appointment, candidates must submit their application in two places:
to NYU athttps://apply.interfolio.com/67519
The application materials should include a curriculum vitae and a list of publications as well as statements, no longer than three pages each, of current and planned research and of teaching activities. The NYU application should include the names and contact information of three scientists who can provide letters of reference. The candidate should also have these three referees email their reference letters directly to CCQ at ccqjobs@simonsfoundation.org.
Because diversity is important to our institutions, the letter describing research and teaching activities should include a brief paragraph telling us how diversity figures into the applicants past and present teaching, research, community engagement, and/or life experience, as well as howthe applicant would bring issues of diversity to bear on the teaching and programming of NYU's Department of Physics.
Review of applications will begin on or about October 28, 2019.

Directed by Antoine Georges and co-directed by Andrew Millis, the CCQ is a leading international center for the study of quantum physics and its applications to condensed matter physics, materials science, chemistry and related fields. The development of the concepts, algorithms and code libraries needed to advance the field is fundamental to the work of the center. The CCQ is expected to grow to about 50 staff members, comprising scientists at various career stages, from recent Ph.Ds. through senior scientists, software engineers and support staff.The institute has a vigorous visitor program and interacts strongly with scientists from neighboring institutions. Additional information about CCQ is available at https://www.simonsfoundation.org/flatiron/center-for-computational-quantum-physics/.
The Simons Foundations Diversity CommitmentMany of the greatest ideas and discoveries come from a diverse mix of minds, backgrounds and experiences, and we are committed to cultivating an inclusive work environment. The Simons Foundation provides equal opportunities to all employees and applicants for employment without regard to race, religion, color, age, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, gender identity, genetic disposition, neurodiversity, disability, veteran status or any other protected category under federal, state and local law.
