RESIDENT FACULTY SEARCH

The Santa Fe Institute (SFI) seeks nominations and applications for resident faculty positions at all academic levels. Full-time appointments are of highest priority. We are also seeking sabbatical visitors.

SFI is a unique, internationally renowned research environment dedicated to investigating fundamental scientific questions that transcend traditional disciplinary boundaries. Much SFI research involves the science of complex adaptive systems. As such, we are open to applicants with an interdisciplinary focus from all scientific fields, with a preference for quantitative approaches.

The Institute serves as a research hub populated by 20-50 researchers in residence, including faculty, postdoctoral fellows, graduate students, and visitors, closely integrated with a large off-campus network of external faculty, researchers, and corporate affiliates.

We seek individuals with outstanding academic credentials in their own fields, who are also broad thinkers, are creative, catalytic, and risk-taking, and who are looking to break new ground in addressing some of science and society’s most challenging problems.

Resident faculty positions at SFI are based on renewable 5-year terms, with the potential for one renewal.  SFI does not have laboratory space, although faculty are welcome to collaborate with researchers at other institutions with such facilities. Positions involve no formal teaching and come with funds for travel, visitors, meetings, and non-laboratory equipment. Participation in proposal development and Institute activities is expected.

Candidates should have a Ph.D. with a strong record of excellence, both in depth and breadth. Applications are welcome from candidates in any country. Successful foreign applicants must acquire an acceptable visa as a condition of employment. The Santa Fe Institute is an equal opportunity employer. Women and members of underrepresented groups are especially encouraged to apply.
