SUMMARY

The discussion centers on seeking postdoctoral opportunities in complex systems, particularly in social and biological applications. The original poster (OP) has a PhD in physics or materials science related to phase transitions and is exploring potential research projects. Key recommendations include the Santa Fe Institute, the Center for the Study of Complex Systems at the University of Michigan, and the Complex Systems Society, which lists various postdoc positions in Europe, including Spain.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of complex systems theory
  • Familiarity with research methodologies in social and biological sciences
  • Knowledge of phase transitions in physics or materials science
  • Basic proficiency in Spanish for opportunities in Spain
NEXT STEPS
  • Research postdoctoral opportunities at the Santa Fe Institute
  • Explore the Center for the Study of Complex Systems at the University of Michigan
  • Investigate job postings on the Complex Systems Society website
  • Enhance Spanish language skills for potential positions in Spain
USEFUL FOR

Researchers in complex systems, postdoctoral candidates in physics or related fields, and individuals seeking academic positions in social and biological applications of complex systems.

I'm looking for research projects in the study of complex system, meanly applied in social and biology problems. I would be so grateful with the indication of researchers in the theme.

Thanks!

Just trying to clarify what you are asking for. If you've already identified the special field in which you want to do a postdoc, I would assume you've already read a large number of research papers in that special field; and, from the authors on those papers, would have identified potential advisors.
 
To the OP:

I looked at your profile and from what I can tell, you have completed your PhD at a university in Brazil in the area of physics (or materials science) related to phase transitions.

Are you currently

(a) employed as a postdoc and seeking projects to work in complex systems,
or

(b) seeking postdoctoral positions outside of Brazil in complex systems?

If (b), then some places I can think of for opportunities include the following:

1. Santa Fe Institute (www.santafe.edu) - research institute devoted to complex systems. Try and see if there are any postdoc opportunities available there.

2. Center for the Study of Complex Systems, University of Michigan (lsa.umich.edu/cscs). According to the website, they are seeking tenure track position there.

3. Complex Systems Society (https://cssociety.org/job-openings) has a number of postings in EU countries for postdoc positions. Two of those positions are based in Spain -- I'm curious as a Brazilian citizen what your fluency would be in Spanish (I've been told that Portuguese speakers have little trouble picking up Spanish).
