Marcus J Hamilton

Postdoctoral Fellow

I have a split postdoc position between SFI and the Department of Biology, University of New Mexico. I am interested in the energetics of human systems across scales, from hunter-gatherers to industrialized economies, and their ecological interactions with ecosystems, environments, and global scale Earth systems. I am particularly interested in how flows of energy and information create structure, and drive dynamics in human systems, and biological systems in general. At SFI I work primarily with Geoffrey West, Luis Bettencourt, and HyeJin Youn on using scaling theory to understand general principles of the structure and dynamics of cities and corporations. Other major research areas include hunter-gatherer ecology, the colonization of the Americas, the biogeography of human biocultural diversity, macroecology, and the metabolic theory ecology.
