POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP OPPORTUNITIES AT THE SANTA FE INSTITUTE
The Santa Fe Institute (SFI) anticipates offering several
Postdoctoral Fellowships to begin in September 2007.
The Postdoctoral Fellowship program at SFI provides up to three years
of research support for independent research to scholars who have
recently received a doctoral degree. Unlike traditional postdoctoral
positions, SFI Postdoctoral Fellows pursue research questions of
their own design, and engage in collaborations with members of the
faculty, other SFI postdocs, and other researchers from around the
world. Fellows pursue projects that lie at the boundaries of the
traditional academic disciplines, and that create new fields of inquiry.
We provide a number of benefits that are not available in most
postdoctoral positions. In addition to salary, health benefits, and
retirement contributions, Fellows have access to funds to support
travel to meetings, to visit collaborators at other institutions, and
to bring collaborators to visit SFI. Fellows are encouraged to
participate in all SFI activities, to invite speakers for the
colloquium series, and to organize workshops and working groups.
Research at SFI is integrative, and there are no formal programs or
departments. Individual research projects draw input from a variety
of fields, including biology, chemistry, computer science, physics,
mathematics, economics, sociology, anthropology, and political
science. We welcome applications from any of these fields, as well
as others not listed here. Descriptions of the research interests of
the faculty and current Postdoctoral Fellows can be found at http://
www.santafe.edu/research/researchers.php. Most research at SFI
focuses on theoretical and computational approaches, although
applicants whose research includes an experimental or data-collection
component in collaboration with off-site colleagues are also
encouraged to apply.
Candidates should have a Ph.D. (or expect to receive one by September
2007), a strong academic record, and a proven ability to work
independently. We are particularly favorable toward applicants with
an interest in trans-disciplinary interactions and collaboration, and
who have demonstrated the potential to think outside traditional
paradigms.
Applications are welcome from candidates in any country. Women and
minorities are especially encouraged to apply. Successful foreign
applicants must acquire an acceptable visa (usually a J-1) as a
condition of employment.
APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS
1. Curriculum vitae (including publications list, if any).
2. Statement of research interests (2-3 pages). In this
statement, tell us what you are interested in, and why you are
interested in it. Also tell us why you would like to come to SFI,
rather than pursuing a traditional postdoc. On the last point, think
about addressing one or more of the following: What sort of input
from other fields would most improve your future research? What type
of trans-disciplinary workshop might you want to organize during your
Fellowship? What aspects of your present or future research are
difficult to pursue in a traditional academic environment?
3. Three letters of recommendation from scholars who know your
work. (The letters should be sent independently of the application.
When you complete the online application, please be prepared to
provide e-mail addresses of the three individuals who will recommend
you. SFI will contact them directly with instructions for submitting
letters.)
4. (Optional) A copy of one paper you have written in English,
either published or unpublished.
Online Application: You may submit your materials using our online
application form, which can be found at http://www.santafe.edu/
education/postdocinst07.php. We strongly encourage you to apply
online to expedite your application.
Postal Mail/Courier: Application packages sent via postal mail will
also be accepted. Do not bind your application materials in any
manner. Include your e-mail address and/or fax number. Mail
application materials to:
Postdoctoral Committee
Santa Fe Institute

Santa Fe, NM 87501 USA
DEADLINE: For full consideration, please submit all application
