The Simons Center aims to become an international locus of support for the computational physical chemistry community, offering a stimulating environment to foster aspiring researchers as well as world-class scholars wishing to study and work in New York City.
Seminar Series and Topical Workshops
The Simons Center’s seminars and workshops bring the global computational physical chemistry community to NYU for education and collaborative exchange. See our Events Page for details and schedule.
Graduate Study
The Simons Center is housed within NYU’s Department of Chemistry, and offers a vibrant and intellectually stimulating place for graduate study, either at the Masters or Doctoral levels. We are committed to maintaining an inclusive and supportive environment for all participants. Full details about NYU’s Chemistry graduate program and application requirements can be found here. A list of relevant coursework in computational physical chemistry is here.
Simons Center Graduate Fellowships are awarded on a competitive basis to top performing students at the end of their fourth year of Ph.D. study. Interested students are encouraged to ask their research Mentor for application details.
Summer Undergraduate Research Program (SURP)
The Summer Undergraduate Research Program in Computational Physical Chemistry at NYU offers an intensive interdisciplinary research experience in the exciting area of theoretical chemistry. Students chosen for this 10-week summer program receive a stipend of $10,000 and work closely with a faculty mentor on a project of common interest. The program is open to U.S. students who do not already attend NYU. We especially encourage students from underrepresented groups to apply.
Applications are closed for our 2024 SURP. Please consider applying for next summer when applications open again on Jan 1, 2025.
