PLEASE CIRCULATE:
The Santa Fe Institute announces its 22nd annual Complex Systems Summer School, June 6-26, 2010, in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Applications will be accepted November 1, 2009 through January 10, 2010.
The program offers an intensive three-week introduction to complex behavior in mathematical, physical, living, and social systems for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows in the sciences and social sciences. The school is for participants who want background and hands-on experience to help prepare them to do interdisciplinary research in areas related to complex systems.
The program consists of lectures, laboratories, and discussion sessions focusing on foundational ideas, tools, and current topics in complex systems research. These include nonlinear dynamics and pattern formation, scaling theory, information theory and computation theory, adaptation and evolution, network structure and dynamics, adaptive computation techniques, computer modeling tools, and specific applications of these core topics to various disciplines. In addition, participants will formulate and carry out team projects related to topics covered in the school.
Applications are solicited from graduate students and postdoctoral fellows in any discipline. Some background in science and mathematics (including multi-variate calculus and linear algebra) is required. Proficiency in English is also required. Women, minorities, and students from developing countries are especially encouraged to apply.
Application Requirements
1. Current resume or CV. Include a clear description of your current educational or professional status, and a list of publications, if any.
2. A 1-2 page statement of your current research interests and comments about why you want to attend the school.
3. Two letters of recommendation from scholars who know your work.
