I direct education programs at the Santa Fe Institute, a global thought-leader in complex systems science. We are currently recruiting undergraduate students for our 2021 Undergraduate Complexity Research (UCR) program.
Quick Facts
- 10-Week Summer Residential Program
- Will be offered virtually if necessary due to the pandemic (read more)
- Research will be conducted under the guidance of an SFI researcher
- Final presentations are given by students

- Stipend = $600/week
The summer research experience at the Santa Fe Institute is a 10-week program for students interested in developing a research project to study complex systems. Students have the chance to work very independently, but there is also great guidance available from our mentors – as much or as little as the student wants. While there is great diversity in the questions undertaken by students, the commonality tends to be the tools and methods: large data sets and analysis methods from statistics, information theory, physics and math. (It helps if the student has some experience with a computer programming language but they need not be an expert.)
The Santa Fe Institute is a completely unique place – very collaborative and creative. The summer student group numbers about 10 each year, and they form a very cohesive and supportive group.
I’ve attached a digital flyer and more information is available at the program site. If any of your students have questions about the program or the institute, please have them contact us at education@santafe.edu.
