20.04. Other Announcements
Postdoc positions: The C3 - Centro de Ciencias de la Complejidad,
a new
interdisciplinary, inter-institutional research center based at the
Universidad
Nacional Autonoma de Mexico (UNAM) plans to have several openings for
postdoctoral candidates in the coming months. The center currently has
affiliated to it more than 50 researchers and 40 students from all the
major
scientific disciplines. The main research topics at the moment are:
Genetic
networks and Systems Biology, Ecological Complexity, Social Complexity
and
Computational Intelligence. Salary will be in the region of 20-25,000
pesos per
month.
Interested candidates are asked to send a CV, a statement of research
interests and the names of at least three potential referees to:
Dr. Chris Stephens (Ecological Complexity and Computational
Intelligence)
stephens at nucleares.unam.mx
Dra. Elena Alvarez-Buylla (Systems Biology) eabuylla at gmail.com
Dr. Gustavo Martinez-Mekler (Social Complexity and other areas)

Melanie
Mitchell. Oxford University Press, 2009.
What enables individually simple insects like ants to act with such
precision
and purpose as a group? How do trillions of individual neurons produce
something
as extraordinarily complex as consciousness? What is it that guides
self-organizing structures like the immune system, the World Wide Web,
the
global economy, and the human genome? These are just a few of the
fascinating
and elusive questions that the science of complexity seeks to answer.
In this remarkably accessible and companionable book, leading
complex systems
scientist Melanie Mitchell provides an intimate, detailed tour of the
sciences
of complexity, a broad set of efforts that seek to explain how large-
scale
complex, organized, and adaptive behavior can emerge from simple
interactions
among myriad individuals. Comprehending such systems requires a wholly
new
approach, one that goes beyond traditional scientific reductionism and
that
re-maps long-standing disciplinary boundaries. Based on her work at
the Santa Fe
Institute and drawing on its interdisciplinary strategies, Mitchell
brings
clarity to the workings of complexity across a broad range of
biological,
technological, and social phenomena, seeking out the general
principles or laws
that apply to all of them. She explores as well the relationship between
complexity and evolution, artificial intelligence, computation,
genetics,
information processing, and many other fields.
Richly illustrated and vividly written, Complexity: A Guided Tour
offers a
comprehensive and eminently comprehensible overview of the ideas
underlying
complex systems science, the current research at the forefront of this
field,
and the prospects for the field's contribution to solving some of the
most
important scientific questions of our time.
