<p class="Header2"><span style="font-size:16.0pt;line-height:120%">Interdisciplinary Training in Complex Networks and Systems<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-family:"Georgia Pro Light""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-family:"Georgia Pro Light"">Understanding complex networked systems is key to solving some of the most vexing problems confronting humankind, from discovering how dynamic brain connections give rise to thoughts and
behaviors, to detecting and preventing the spread of misinformation or unhealthy behaviors across a population. Graduate training, however, typically occurs in one of two dimensions: experimental and observational methods in a specific area such as biology
and sociology, or in general methodologies such as machine learning and data science.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-family:"Georgia Pro Light""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-family:"Georgia Pro Light"">With more and more students seeking to gain sufficient expertise in mathematical and computational methods on top of domain-specific laboratory and social analysis methodologies, a greater
demand for more efficient interdisciplinary training is emerging. <a href="https://cns-nrt.indiana.edu/">
The Indiana University National Science Foundation Research Traineeship</a> (NRT) addresses this growing need with an integrated dual PhD program that trains students to be “bidisciplinary” in Complex Networks and Systems (CNS) and another discipline of their
choosing from the natural and social sciences. It will seamlessly integrate traditional education with interdisciplinary hands-on research in a culture of academic and human diversity.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-family:"Georgia Pro Light""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-family:"Georgia Pro Light"">The training program capitalizes on the new Indiana <a href="https://iuni.iu.edu/">University Network Science Institute (IUNI)</a>. The Institute's 165+ faculty members will serve in interdisciplinary
PhD program committees to be co-chaired by research mentors from both CNS and the target empirical domain. Project-driven, team-based research at IUNI will seamlessly integrate academic education with interdisciplinary hands-on scientific and industrial research.
Trainees will learn to connect the general-purpose, computational expertise of CNS to the deep, domain-specific research methodologies of the natural, behavioral, and social sciences thus bridging the gap between distinct training cultures. They will be a
new breed of STEM scientists that escapes the silos of disciplinary training to address the complex problems of the 21st century.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
