Thank you for considering a career with the Research Foundation of The City University of New York (RFCUNY).
The team at RFCUNY is made up of dedicated, talented professionals committed to providing the services that allow CUNY researchers, faculty, and staff to focus on their intellectual curiosity and scientific discoveries.
We are pleased that you are interested in exploring opportunities to join RFCUNY.
Primary Location:
The GRADUATE CENTER
Bargaining Unit:

Seeking a postdoctoral research associate in the Initiative for the Theoretical Sciences at the CUNY Graduate Center. The postdoctoral research associate will work independently and in collaborations in any discipline where large-scale computation, simulation, or data-driven methods play an essential role. The postdoc will have access to Empire AI and will be expected to utilize its substantial computational power in their research. The postdoc will be expected to design algorithms that scale efficiently on GPU clusters, manage distributed computation and storage, and develop analysis pipelines that connect the resulting data back to rigorous mathematics. We are interested in proposals that push the limits of current computational practice in their area - whether through very large simulations, massive combinatorial or statistical searches, or the use of large generative models guided by mathematical structures.
The postdoc will be supported by the rich intellectual environment at the CUNY Graduate Center which includes Mathematics, Physics, Biology, Computer Science, and the Initiative for Theoretical Sciences and is expected to engage with the broader mathematics community to enhance their research and professional development. Candidates are expected to prepare publications and conference talks. The start date will be around September 1, 2026.
Qualifications:
  • Doctoral degree in Mathematics, Physics or closely related fields
  • Doctoral degree should be obtained within five years of appointment to this position.

Preferred Qualifications:
  • Experience with large-scale computation is desired.

CUNY Title Overview:
Conducts research activities with the mentorship of a CUNY faculty member.
