Jumpstart Postdoctoral Opportunity @ FAU’s Center for Complex Systems
The Human Brain & Behavior Laboratory (HBBL) located in FAU’s Center for Complex Systems in the Charles E. Schmidt College of Science (Valery Forbes, Dean) seeks an excellent candidate to join our team to investigate the roots of biological agency (see recent article in PNAS). HBBL explores how sentient agency emerges through self-organizing, coordinative processes that span organisms and environments. The postdoctoral fellow will assist in developing next-generation interactive systems for empirical study, conducting experiments with human infants (involving 3D motion capture, EEG, eye tracking) and analyzing data. The post-holder will have freedom and capacity to develop their own scientific ideas through experimental design and preparing manuscripts and grant applications. This position offers opportunity to participate in HBBL’s active collaborations with world-leading teams in Artificial Intelligence analysis (Intelligent Systems Research Centre, Ulster University, The Institute for the Augmented Human, University of Bath), in mathematical modeling using Active Inference (Welcome Centre for Human Neuroimaging, Univ. College London) and Coordination Dynamics frameworks (Institut de Neurosciences des Systèmes, Aix Marseille University). Qualified candidates will possess advanced technical skills in relevant areas such as coding (Matlab, Python, etc.), machine learning, signal processing, mathematical modeling, EEG analysis, motion capture, and electrical engineering/robotics, as well as creativity, curiosity, and a collaborative spirit. HBBL is directed by Glenwood and Martha Creech Eminent Scholar in Science J.A. Scott Kelso. Prof. Kelso founded FAU's Center for Complex Systems in 1985 with the goal of bringing scientists from different disciplines together in one place to understand the multiscale structure, function, and dynamics of complex biological systems, including human beings and their activities.
Please forward Letter of Interest to Dr Aliza Sloan (asloan2014@fau.edu) indicating qualifications, CV and names and contact information of 2 Referees as soon as possible. The expected salary will follow the current NIH postdoc salary scale plus benefits. The position will be for 2 years, assuming satisfactory progress in year one, and may be extended further depending on funding. Position start date is May to August 2024.
The newly launched Center for Network Dynamics at Northwestern University is actively seeking postdoctoral researchers interested in complex systems and networks. We welcome applications from individuals with expertise in various aspects of network theory, including temporal, multilayer, and higher-order interactions. Additionally, we are seeking applicants with interest in network modeling of biological, physical, and engineering systems. The projects are theoretical and computational but benefit from empirical data and close collaborations with experimental colleagues. If you are passionate about advancing the understanding of networks and their applications in diverse fields, we encourage you to apply to our dynamic research team.

Vermont EPSCoR is offering 12 summer research internship opportunities to join our cutting-edge NSF-funded research on Harnessing the Data Revolution for Vermont: The Science of Online Corpora, Knowledge, and Stories (SOCKS). We are initiating a five-year, large-scale, interdisciplinary, and groundbreaking data science effort to better understand and harness the power of stories. SOCKS revolves around stories as an essential part of how people comprehend, explain, predict, and seek to navigate the world. SOCKS supports the Digital Humanities by developing a powerful approach to quantifying both individual stories and ecologies of stories through massive data collection, natural language processing, and large language models—computer-based encodings of the meaningful connections between words and phrases.
The Undergraduate Research Internship Program offers students the opportunity to participate in current research conducted through the NSF EPSCoR award Harnessing the Data Revolution for Vermont: The Science of Online Corpora, Knowledge, and Stories SOCKS program. SOCKS Summer Undergraduate Interns (SSUI) will be matched with a research team working on the transdisciplinary SOCKS research program. At the end of the internship, research teams will meet together at a Symposium to share their discoveries through an oral presentation and a written report of their research. Students will do full-time, high-impact, authentic research for 10 weeks in one of the following areas:
(1) Indigenous voices in global environmental governance (mentored by Fuentes-George);
(2) Data ethics, privacy, and narrative bias (mentored by Harp and Lovato);
(3) Social and health narratives (mentored by SOCKS social or health teams)
(4) Analysis of local news stories and programs (mentored by Richard Watts, the Director of the Center for Community News at UVM) More at: socks.w3.uvm.edu
