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.
