The Complex Systems Society (CSS) organizes every year a main conference (CCS) — the most important annual meeting for the complex systems research community.
The Complex Systems Society invites bids to host the 2026 and 2027 editions.
The conference is generally held in September/October of each year.

The Young Scientist Award for Socio- and Econophysics of the German Physical Society (DPG) recognizes outstanding original contributions that use physical methods to develop a better understanding of socio-economic problems. The annually awarded prize is endowed with EUR 7,500 and is intended for young scientists (f/m) below the age of 40 at the time of submission deadline (15. October). The division of socio-economic physics (SOE) is a division of the German Physical Society (DPG) devoted to the “Physics of Socio-Economic Systems”. Its aims are to foster research on these topics and to coordinate our activities and those of similar societies across Europe, and to interest young physicists in economic, urban, and social problems. The prize is awarded during the meeting of the Section of condensed matter (SKM) of the DPG.

The price is sponsored by Capital Fund Management (CFM).

We are looking to recruit two postdoctoral scholars for a position in an interdisciplinary NSF-funded research project. The goal is to discover how collectives can be made more creative, intelligent and when they can select the rules governing their interactions. The focus of the position is on designing and running large-scale online behavioral experiments.

We are seeking candidates with strong quantitative and computational training in behavioral, cognitive, or social science. Computer/information scientists with interest in human behavior are also welcome to apply. Scholars will work closely with each other and the project’s lead investigators: computational social scientist Seth Frey @ UC Davis, cognitive scientist Nori Jacoby @ Cornell University, behavioral scientist Ofer Tchernichovski @ Hunter College CUNY, and sociologist Dalton Conley @ Princeton University. The positions will be based in UC Davis and Cornell University

The Department of Management, Technology and Economics (D-MTEC, http://www.mtec.ethz.ch) at ETH Zurich invites applications for the above-mentioned position.

The successful candidate should have an excellent publication record in complexity science with business applications, system dynamics, decision sciences, or applied operations research for modeling complex and dynamic systems. Research will focus on the theoretical and applied analysis and design of industrial or service systems. The candidate should demonstrate the ability to contribute to systems design at the organizational, national, and international levels.

At the assistant professor level, commitment to teaching within the curriculum of D-MTEC and the ability to establish and lead a research group in Systems Design are expected. Research and teaching collaboration with other departments and multidisciplinary research centers is required.

Assistant professorships have been established to promote the careers of younger scientists. ETH Zurich implements a tenure track system equivalent to that of other top international universities.

ETH Zurich is an equal opportunity and family-friendly employer, values diversity, and is responsive to the needs of dual-career couples.

Deadline: 15 October 2024

A two-year postdoctoral position starting in October 2024 is available to work within the MapCDPerNets project (https://www.mapcdpernets.es). The project explores the existence of a sociocultural continuum able to predict the consistency of observed cultural dimensions and patterns of interaction, and develop a set of network measures oriented to capture this “cultural signature”. The project is funded through a generous grant of the Fundamentos Programme of Fundación BBVA and involves researchers from Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M), Universitat Autónoma de Barcelona and University of Florida.
The postdoctoral research will join the GISC and RySC groups at UC3M. This is a unique opportunity to work at the interface of complex systems with internet measurements and web transparency and privacy. Thus, GISC, led by Anxo Sánchez (project coordinator) focuses on topics such as personal networks: evolution, structure, prediction; social norms and their relationship with behavior, as well as their measurement in experiments; behavioral experiments, and evolutionary game theory, whereas the RySC team participating in the project led by Rubén and Ángel Cuevas has a long background of developing advanced methodologies to collect large scale datasets from major technological players including Google, Facebook, LinkedIn, etc. The postdoctoral researcher will be based at the Leganés campus of UC3M, some 20 km away from Madrid downtown and easily reachable by train.
