Postdoctoral fellowships at the Santa Fe Institute

[Melanie Mitchell]

The Santa Fe Institute has an opening for one or more Postdoctoral
Fellows beginning in September, 1996.

The Institute's research program is devoted to the study of complex
systems, especially complex adaptive systems.  Systems and techniques
currently under study include: the economy; the immune system; the
brain; biomolecular sequence and structure; the origin of life;
artificial life; models of evolution; adaptive computation and
intelligent systems; complexity, entropy, and the physics of
information; nonlinear modeling and prediction; the evolution of
culture; the development of general-purpose simulation environments;
and others.  Postdoctoral Fellows work either on existing research
projects or on projects of their own choosing.

Candidates should have a Ph.D. (or expect to receive one
before September 1996) and should have backgrounds in
computer science, mathematics, economics, theoretical physics
or chemistry, game theory, cognitive science, theoretical
biology, dynamical systems theory, or related fields.  A
strong background in computational approaches is essential,
as is an interest in interdisciplinary work.  Evidence of
this interest, in the form of previous research experience
and publications, is important.

Applicants should submit a curriculum vitae, list of
publications, and statement of research interests, and
arrange for three letters of recommendation.  Incomplete
applications will not be considered.

All application materials must be received by February 15,
1996.  Decisions will be made by April, 1996.  Send
applications to:  Postdoctoral Committee, Santa Fe Institute,
1399 Hyde Park Road, Santa Fe, New Mexico 87501.  Send
complete application packages only, preferably hard copy, to
the above address.  Include your e-mail address and/or fax
number.

SFI is an equal opportunity employer.  Women and minorities
are encouraged to apply.
