Make a gift in honor of Shafi
The 2024 annual fund will honor the contributions of Simons Institute Director Emerita Shafi Goldwasser, who stepped down this summer. All gifts will be matched 1-to-1.
Call for Proposals: Circles
Circles, the Simons Institute — Jane Street Small Group Collaborations, will support groups of 3–6 researchers to collaborate on ambitious research projects.

If you think you have been exposed or are a close contact, you can take an over-the-counter rapid antigen test 3-5 days after exposure. People who have symptoms should stay home, wear a mask, and get tested.
There are currently no masking requirements on campus. Regardless of COVID-19 case rates, the CDC recommends masking:
- If you have symptoms of a respiratory infection, such as a cough, runny nose, or sore throat
- In crowded indoor settings, such as in airplanes, trains, and buses
- In public areas around people who are older or have medical conditions that put them at increased risk for severe COVID-19
- For 10 days after having a significant exposure to someone who has tested positive for COVID-19
- If you have tested positive, see additional guidance at What to Do If You Test Positive for COVID-19 (link is external)
Applications are welcome for postdoctoral fellowships in the research pods on Quantum Computing, on Machine Learning, and on Resilience.

Applications are invited for Circles, the Simons Institute — Jane Street Small Group Collaborations, which will support groups of 3–6 researchers to collaborate on ambitious research projects.
