Eligibility: To be an Investigator in Mathematics, Physics, and Theoretical Computer Science, a scientist must be engaged in theoretical research in mathematics, physics or computer science and must have a primary appointment as a faculty member at a U.S., Canadian or U.K. institution with a Ph.D. program and not have previously been a Simons Investigator.
To be an Investigator in MMLS, a scientist must be engaged in research related to the program, must have a primary appointment as a faculty member at a United States or Canadian educational institution with a Ph.D. program and not previously have been a Simons Investigator. At the time of appointment, an Investigator should be in the early stages of an academic career (within five years of the start of his/her first faculty position) and, typically, be holding an assistant professorship or equivalent position.

Title
Simons Investigators in Theoretical Computer Science
Agencies
Simons Foundation (Simons)
Description
Each year, the Simons Foundation invites nominations from universities in the United States and Canada for the Simons Investigators in Mathematics, Physics, and Theoretical Computer Science programs. In 2014, these programs were opened to institutions in the United Kingdom. Starting in 2013, the foundation invited nominations for Investigators in the Mathematical Modeling of Living Systems (MMLS) from universities in the United States and Canada.
Simons Investigators are outstanding theoretical scientists who receive long-term research support from the Simons Foundation.
Level and Duration of Funding: A Simons Investigator in Mathematics, Physics, and Theoretical Computer Science is appointed for an initial period of five years. Renewal for an additional five years is contingent upon the evaluation of scientific impact of the Investigator. A Simons Investigator in MMLS is appointed for a period of five years.
An Investigator will receive research support of $100,000 per year. An additional $10,000 per year will be provided to the Investigator’s department. The award is administered through the institution at which the Investigator is appointed, and this institution will receive 20% in indirect costs.
