Applying to the Simon Lab

We are always looking for creative, technically capable, driven young scientists to lead our efforts, and push our science in new directions. Stanford provides a fantastic intellectual environment, while the Institutes on campus provide wonderful interdisciplinary opportunities, and the departments rigorous and classic training.


For potential undergraduates

Our undergraduate program is among the best in the world. Stanford is an amazing place to be a student as you enjoy the rigorous inquiry and culture of discovery. Undergraduates should apply through the university's application portal.

For potential graduate students

To join the group, you must first apply (and be accepted) to one of our PhD programs. The Simon Lab draws students from the Physics and the Applied Physics Departments, but we are open to other departments and schools. Applications are typically reviewed each December.

For potential postdoctoral scholars

Prospective postdoctoral scholars may contact Prof. Simon directly to apply. We review applications constantly, and we are always searching for stellar candidates who can help the group to propel its science and its people forward.

For potential intercal programmers

We aren't actually looking for any of these but you should read about the language here or here, because it is hilarious. If you find this entertaining you'll definitely have fun in the group.
