The Omidyar Fellowship at the Santa Fe Institute is unique among postdoctoral appointments. The Institute has no formal programs or departments. Research is collaborative and spans the physical, natural, and social sciences. Most research is theoretical and/or computational in nature, although it may include an empirical component. SFI typically has 15 Omidyar Fellows and postdoctoral researchers, 12 resident faculty, 100 external faculty, and 250 visitors per year. Descriptions of the research themes and interests of the faculty and current Fellows can be found at http://www.santafe.edu/research. 

Requirements include a Ph.D. in any discipline (or expect to receive one by September 2013), an exemplary academic record, strong quantitative and computational skills, a proven ability to work  both independently and collaboratively, a demonstrated interest in multidisciplinary research and evidence of the ability to think outside traditional paradigms. The Santa Fe Institute is an equal opportunity employer, and women, veterans, and members of underrepresented groups are especially encouraged to apply.  U.S. citizenship is not a requirement.

The *SANTA FE INSTITUTE *is a private, independent, multidisciplinary research and education center. SFI seeks to catalyze new collaborative, multidisciplinary research; to break down the barriers between traditional disciplines; to spread its ideas and methodologies to other institutions; and to encourage the practical application of its results. The Omidyar Fellowship at the Santa Fe Institute is made possible by a gift from Pierre and Pam Omidyar.
