WE SEARCH FOR
Are you ready for an intensive immersion into how complexity science can be applied to real-world questions? Do you want to integrate complexity science into your research? Join the Complexity Science Hub’s annual Winter School to learn collaboratively with a global cohort of early-career researchers.
Winter School 2026 will take place at the campus of the Complexity Science Hub, in Vienna, Austria, from 1-5 March 2027 (Monday-Friday), with a welcome event on 28 February (Sunday).
YOUR PROFILE
The Winter School is aimed at graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, early-career faculty, and research professionals. Interested participants from government, NGOs, industry, or other sectors may also find the program of interest.
Applicants should have Masters-level coursework in quantitative discipline (social, natural or information sciences, mathematics, engineering) and/or practical experience working in a quantitative domain related to the project theme. A basic command of coding in R or Python is expected.
The program is conducted entirely in English, and participants are expected to have working proficiency.
WE OFFER
The Winter School comprises three core elements:
- lectures by faculty
- formal and informal discussions among faculty and students
- group project work and/or practice labs
The Winter School is an intensive, residential experience and should be considered a full-time commitment. Students and faculty will share meals, and there may be evening events. Scheduled free time will be included so that students can explore the Winter School location with fellow participants and/or to continue informal discussions and collaborations.
APPLICATION
Applications for Winter School 2027 are due 12 December 2026 (midnight Vienna local time).
Aplicants will submit:
(1) curriculum vitae or resume
(2) letter of motivation describing their interest in the particular theme of the program and how it intersects with their current work
Please ensure that your letter of motivation addresses a specific interest in healthcare and medicine. Generic applications that fail to address the theme of the Winter School will not be considered.
Candidates will be notified of their application status in January.
