Description
The Simons Foundation’s Society of Fellows supports outstanding young scientists pursuing independent research at educational institutions in New York City. The program aims to build a community of scholars and encourage intellectual exchange across disciplines and research centers. Its scientific scope encompasses mathematics, computer and information science, life sciences, and physical and engineering sciences.
Junior Fellows work with scientific mentors at their host institutions and participate in weekly lectures and dinners during the academic year, an annual conference, and a four-day weekend retreat. Research support can fund scientific travel, small equipment, supplies, and visits by scientific collaborators. Distinguished New York City scientists serving as Senior Fellows select the Junior Fellows through a competitive process.
