[ES_JOBS_NET] Omidyar Postdoctoral Fellowship at the Santa Fe Institute

[Erika Marín-Spiotta]

The Omidyar Fellowship at the Santa Fe Institute is unique among
postdoctoral appointments. It offers select early-career scholars the
opportunity to join a collaborative research community that nurtures
creative, transdisciplinary thought in pursuit of key insights about the
complex systems that matter most for science and society.

The Omidyar Fellowship at the Santa Fe Institute offers you:

** transdisciplinary collaboration with leading researchers worldwide
** up to three years in residence in Santa Fe, New Mexico
** discretionary research and collaboration funds
** competitive salary and generous benefits
** a structured leadership training program
** unparalleled intellectual freedom

The Institute has no formal programs or departments. Research is
collaborative and spans the physical, natural, and social sciences. Most
research is theoretical (SFI does not have lab facilities) and/or
computational in nature, although some research includes an empirical
component. SFI averages 18 postdoctoral fellows, 14 resident faculty, 100=

external faculty, and 250 visitors per year. SFI's research themes and
interests of its faculty and current fellows can be found at

As thought leaders who shape the future of science, Omidyar Fellows
participate in a provocative training program structured to develop
leadership skills throughout their three-year residencies and beyond.  Th=
