The University of California, Davis invites applications for a tenure-track position in the Physics of Complex Systems.

The position will focus on discovering physical principles and developing computational models and theoretical methods to predict the behavior and organization of a broad range of complex systems. The appointment will be at the Assistant Professor level and will be in the Department of Physics & Astronomy. Applications are sought from scholars who have strong and innovative research portfolios that would complement the existing research at the Complexity Sciences Center (csc.ucdavis.edu).

Complex systems is a highly interdisciplinary academic field using statistical mechanics, nonlinear dynamics, and applied mathematics to elucidate the organization and function of complex systems across a wide range of physical and applied disciplines. The ideal candidate should have a deep-rooted interest and demonstrated expertise in one or more areas such as: many-body physics, physics of information, computational physics, network science, machine learning, complex biological systems, non-equilibrium behavior, and complex earth systems.
