Assistant Professor

The Department of Chemistry at Columbia University invites applicants for an Assistant Professor position to start July 1, 2025. This tenure-track position is open to all computational and/or theoretical chemists. It will begin with a three-year joint appointment with the Initiative for Computational Catalysis at the Flatiron Institute. The successful candidate for this position will have demonstrated the potential to perform innovative and pioneering research, teach effectively at the undergraduate and graduate levels, participate in service to the department, university, and field, and engage in activities that promote our goals and values, including building an equitable and diverse scientific community. Their research program should also align with the goals of the Initiative for Computational Catalysis and of the Flatiron Institute.

The new faculty member will be joining a collegial department at Columbia with a vibrant research enterprise, lively undergraduate and graduate teaching programs, and a strong record in public outreach. As a department located in the heart of New York City, and as part of a university whose student body is growing ever more diverse, we encourage applications from those with a record of success advising and mentoring students from groups underrepresented in chemistry.

At the Flatiron Institute, the new faculty member will find a world-leading center for computational chemistry. During their joint-appointment they will enjoy the support of the Flatiron Institute's Scientific Computing Core, which includes access to High-Performance Computing resources and the expertise of scientific software engineers.
