Santa Fe Institute 4.4
Postdoctoral scholar job in Santa Fe, NM
The Santa Fe Institute
-a private, not-for-profit research and education facility-has an opening for a two-year full-time postdoc. We are seeking a highly motivated scholar with expertise in Computer Science and a desire to apply their expertise to analyze the evolution of human social systems from pre-historic times up to the present. This two-year position is part of a project inspired by recent results uncovering deep connections among information theory, energy expenditure and harvesting, and computation. The goal is to investigate the long-term evolution of human social complexity through the lens of computer science theory. This position is based in-person in Santa Fe, NM.
The project aims to model societies as computational systems, examining how they process and store information to adapt to dynamic environments while leveraging increasing computational power to extract more energy from the environment in order to sustain and grow. By combining insights from theoretical computer science, social science, stochastic thermodynamics and complex systems research more broadly, this work seeks to uncover how social complexity scales with population size, energy systems, economic development, and technological advancements. The research also aims to illuminate both historical transitions and pressing contemporary challenges, such as the societal impacts of AI and other transformative technologies.
Responsibilities:
Collaborate with PIs Kyle Harper and David Wolpert along with other team members to advance this project through research, publication, workshop organization, etc.;
Collaborate with social scientists to model social systems as computational processes;
Collaborate with social scientists to apply theoretical computer science tools to develop understanding of how the intrinsic computational limitations of human social systems depend on the sizes, communication networks, technologies, etc., of those social systems.
Preferred Qualifications:
o Ph.D. in Computer Science, Computational Social Science, or a related field (by start date).
o Experience with natural language processing, machine learning, or network analysis.
o Interest in interdisciplinary collaboration with historians, archaeologists, and social scientists.

NNSA Requirements for MedPEDs
If you have a Medical Portable Electronic Device (MedPED), such as a pacemaker, defibrillator, drug-releasing pump, hearing aids, or diagnostic equipment and other equipment for measuring, monitoring, and recording body functions such as heartbeat and brain waves, if employed by Sandia National Laboratories you may be required to comply with NNSA security requirements for MedPEDs.
If you have a MedPED and you are selected for an on-site interview at Sandia National Laboratories, there may be additional steps necessary to ensure compliance with NNSA security requirements prior to the interview date.
