The Omidyar Fellowship at the Santa Fe Institute is unique among
postdoctoral appointments. The Institute has no formal programs or
departments. Research is collaborative and spans the physical, natural, and
social sciences. Most research is theoretical and/or computational in
nature, although it may include an empirical component. SFI typically has 15
Omidyar Fellows and postdoctoral researchers, 12 resident faculty, 100
external faculty, and 250 visitors per year. Descriptions of the research
themes and interests of the faculty and current Fellows can be found at
http://www.santafe.edu/research.

Requirements include a Ph.D. in any discipline (or expect to receive one by
September 2013), an exemplary academic record, strong quantitative and
computational skills, a proven ability to work both independently and
collaboratively, a demonstrated interest in multidisciplinary research and
evidence of the ability to think outside traditional paradigms. The Santa Fe
Institute is an equal opportunity employer, and women, veterans, and members
of underrepresented groups are especially encouraged to apply. U.S.
citizenship is not a requirement.

The SANTA FE INSTITUTE is a private, independent, multidisciplinary research
and education center. SFI seeks to catalyze new collaborative,
multidisciplinary research; to break down the barriers between traditional
disciplines; to spread its ideas and methodologies to other institutions;
and to encourage the practical application of its results. The Omidyar
Fellowship at the Santa Fe Institute is made possible by a gift from Pierre
and Pam Omidyar.
