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 edition for 2025.

The conference is generally held in September/October of each year.

Interested potential organizers should send a short document (6 pages max.) detailing the proposal to the Society account css@cssociety.org (please add jfmendes@ua.pt and jramasco@ifisc.uib-csic.es in cc).

The last edition was in Salvador, Brasil (CCS2023). The next one will be in Exeter/London, UK (CCS2024).

The CCS series in recent years alternates between Europe, Asia and the Americas. In the edition 2025, preference will be given to bids from outside Europe in this edition even though bids from other locations will be also considered.

The deadline for proposals submission is April 30, 2024.

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.

Complexity72h is an interdisciplinary workshop designed for young researchers in complex systems, where participants collaborate in a project for 72 hours. Next edition will be held in Madrid from June 24th to 28th. These projects are led by experienced researchers who propose and guide them throughout the week. *The Call for Tutors is currently open until January 8th*.

Individuals interested in tutoring during the workshop should apply by submitting an abstract of the proposed project. While the project doesn’t need to be fully developed at this stage, applicants should provide a clear idea of their focus, list the required data, and be prepared to supply it to participants. These projects will be undertaken by a group of approximately 6-8 workshop participants.

Tutors will receive accommodation and meals for the entire five days, and travel expenses may be partially or fully covered based on the budget. All relevant information can be found at https://complexity72h.com/call-for-tutors/.

If you are interested in becoming a tutor and leading a project, please don’t hesitate to apply and spread the word among your fellow researchers and mentors!

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. For information on how to apply, please visit cnd.northwestern.edu
