Postdoc openings at Kellogg/Northwestern!

We’re a purposefully multidisciplinary group working at the intersection of science-of-science, innovation, AI, networks, and complexity. We’re looking for postdocs who want to ask bold new questions, with rigorous data, theory, and computation.

Candidates from all disciplines are welcome. This year we’re especially excited about candidates interested in one or more of the following areas:

- LLMs & AI agents
- Political science (science, policy & governance)
- Technological progress + societal impacts of science
- Nonequilibrium statistical physics

Review begins Feb 15 (rolling until filled).

Today in @Nature, I laid out our vision of using AI to help universities maximize their research impacts.

Key Q: Can we use data and AI tools to help a university locate key ideas and personnel to maximize its impact and accelerate progress?

Excited to share our latest work, "Symmetry breaking in optimal transport networks," just out in @Naturecomms! 🚀 This was a fantastic collaboration with @filrad, @santo, @siragerkol, and Marc. Here's a short thread summarizing our main findings! 1/8

[Nature Communications @NatureComms]

.@Sid_Patwardhan_ @filrad @santo_fortunato @siragerkol propose analytical and computational frameworks to analyze sharp transitions from symmetric to asymmetric shapes in optimal networks. https://t.co/Lv7kuX4Nr5

We propose E-index, a measure to quantify the high-quality production consistency of scientists. E-index works best at finding scientists with successful careers.

[Santo Fortunato @santo_fortunato]

The secret of successful careers in science is consistency! Take a look at our paper and at the E-index, an indicator of excellence in science!

Our work with @filrad analyzing the submodularity property in the context of influence maximization on temporal networks is out in @PhysRevE
https://t.co/S2233KxRi6

[Şirag Erkol @siragerkol]

Comparing to exact solutions, greedy algorithm proves to be an effective method for influence maximization on temporal networks even though the influence function is not submodular.
