[Silvina Ponce Dawson]

ANNOUNCING THE SANTA FE INSTITUTE'S 2005 COMPLEX SYSTEMS SUMMER SCHOOLS
>>
>>Santa Fe School:  June 6 - July 1, 2005.  Held on the campus of St.
>>John's College, Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA.  Administered by the Santa
>>Fe Institute (SFI).  Director:  Melanie Mitchell, Portland State
>>University and SFI.
>>
>>China School: July 11 to August 5, 2005 in Beijing, China. Sponsored
>>by SFI in cooperation with The Institute of Theoretical Physics, The
>>Academy of Mathematics and Systems Sciences, and the Graduate School,
>>Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS). Co-directors: John Holland,
>>University of Michigan and SFI; Chen Xiao-song, Institute for
>>Theoretical Physics, CAS.
>>
>>General Description
>>
>>The Complex Systems Summer Schools offer an intensive four-week
>>introduction to complex behavior in mathematical, physical, living,
>>and social systems for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows in
>>the sciences and social sciences. The schools are aimed at
>>participants who want to obtain the background and hands-on
>>experience that will help prepare them to do interdisciplinary
>>research in areas related to complex systems.
>>
>>Applications are welcome from all countries. Participants are
>>expected to attend either the Santa Fe or the Beijing school for the
>>full four weeks.  All activities will be conducted in English at both
>>schools. Enrollment is limited.
>>
>>Each school consists of an intensive series of lectures,
>>laboratories, and discussion sessions focusing on foundational ideas,
>>tools, and current topics in complex systems research.  These include
>>nonlinear dynamics and pattern formation, scaling theory, information
>>theory and computation theory, adaptation and evolution, network
>>structure and dynamics, adaptive computation techniques, computer
>>modeling tools, and specific applications of these core topics to
>>various disciplines. In addition, participants will formulate and
>>carry out team projects related to topics covered in the school.
>>
>>Costs
>>
>>Santa Fe: No tuition is charged.  100% of housing and meal costs are
>>supported for graduate students and 50% for postdoctoral fellows (the

>>including ethernet ports for student laptops.  Housing and travel
>>support for accompanying families is not available.
>>
>>Eligibility
>>
>>Applications are solicited from graduate students and postdoctoral
>>fellows in any discipline. Some background in science and mathematics
>>(including multi-variable calculus and linear algebra) is required.
>>Proficiency in English is also required.
>>
>>Students should indicate school location preference when applying.
>>Placements may be influenced by recent increased restrictions in U.S.
>>foreign visitor policies.
>>
>>Application requirements
>>
>>1.  Current resume or CV.  Include a clear description of your
>>current educational or professional status, and a list of
>>publications, if any.
>>
>>2.  A statement of your current research interests and comments about
>>why you want to attend the school (suggested length: two to three
>>pages).
>>
>>3.  Two letters of recommendation from scholars who know your work.
>>
>>4.  If you are applying to the Beijing school and English is not your
>>first language, you must also submit evidence of English competency
>>in order to complete your application. You can do this in one of two
>>ways:
>>
>>* Request that your TOEFL scores be sent to SFI. SFI's TOEFL code is
>>8595. Make sure that you request your scores to be sent well in
>>advance to ensure that your application will be complete by the
>>January 28, 2005 deadline.
>>
>>* Request a third letter of recommendation from an English professor
>>certifying your English language competency. This letter can be sent
>>via e-mail to summerschool en santafe.edu.
>>
>>How to Apply
>>
>>Online: Our online application form allows you to submit all of your
>>materials electronically (including a feature which allows your
>>referees to upload letters of recommendation directly to your file).
>>We strongly encourage you to apply online at
>><http://www.santafe.edu/csss05.html> to expedite your application.
>>
>>Postal Mail/Courier: Applications sent via postal mail will also be
>>accepted. Include a cover letter providing your e-mail address and
>>fax number, and specifying whether you wish to be considered for a
>>travel scholarship. (This will not influence the review of your
>>application.) Do not bind your application materials in any manner.
>>Send application materials to:
>>
>>Summer Schools
>>Santa Fe Institute
>>1399 Hyde Park Road
>>Santa Fe, NM 87501 USA
>>
>>If applying via post, letters of recommendation may be sent
>>separately to the address above, or included in your application
>>package in sealed envelopes.
>>
>>Deadline
>>
>>All application materials, including letters of recommendation, must
>>be received at SFI or electronically submitted no later than January
>>28, 2005.
>>
>>Women, minorities, and students from developing countries are
>>especially encouraged to apply.
