Dear Colleagues,

Applications are invited to fill one postdoctoral fellowship at the
Institute for Scientific Interchange Foundation (ISI) in Turin, Italy.
The candidate is expected to work in the stimulating area of
computational social science. We are particularly interested in
strengthening our emphasis on modeling and investigating language and
opinion dynamics in human and social systems.

A strong interest towards working in a highly interdisciplinary area
is an imperative requisite, the object of the postdoc involving issues
from different fields such as hard sciences (physics, mathematics and
computer science), linguistics, cognitive science and economics.  Good
modeling abilities and computer programming skills are appreciated.

The selected candidate will be able to design and perform research in
a range of directions going from data science and theoretical
modelling to construction of web-based experiments involving human
subjects. He/she will have the freedom and the charge to help shaping
the research lines of the group. Creative and motivated individuals
are therefore strongly encouraged to apply, regardless of their
specialties.

The ISI Foundation offers a stimulating environment with different
groups working in interdisciplinary research on complex systems. The
duration of the fellowship is one year, and it is renewable for a
second year. We are able to guarantee competitive salaries.

Applications including a CV, a list of publications, and a description
of past research and future research interests, should be sent to
Vittorio Loreto ([log in to unmask]).  Applicants might be later
required to arrange for two letters of recommendation.

Applications will be considered upon their reception. Though we do not
fix a strict deadline we invite candidates to send their applications
by December the 15th, 2011.
