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.
