The group of Prof. Adilson Motter at Northwestern University is currently recruiting postdoctoral researchers in complex systems and networks. Topics of interest include biological networks, network dynamics, higher-order networks, network inference, control of network systems, and applications to biomedical research, metamaterials, and quantum information. The projects are theoretical and computational but benefit from empirical data and close collaborations with experimental colleagues.

The positions are open to recent PhDs in physics, materials science, applied mathematics, computer science, engineering, and related fields. Competitive candidates will have outstanding computational, analytical, and communication skills, and demonstrated ability to conduct high-impact research. Ideal candidates will also have familiarity with one of the following areas: network science, nonlinear dynamics, statistical physics, data science, machine learning, and/or the application of interest.

Appointments are available immediately and are renewable for up to three years. Salary is highly competitive and commensurable with qualifications. In exceptional cases, more experienced researchers may also be considered for research faculty positions.

The Motter Group is located on the Evanston Campus of Northwestern University, on the north shore of Lake Michigan, within a 30-minute drive from downtown Chicago. Group members have offices in the Technological Institute and enjoy ample interactions with network researchers from other disciplines through the Northwestern Institute on Complex Systems.
