DESCRIPTION:Aim:  The Understanding Dynamic and Multi-scale Systems progr
 am supports scholarship and research directed toward the discovery and ref
 inement of theoretical and mathematical tools contributing to the continue
 d development of the study of complex\, adaptive\, nonlinear systems. Stud
 ents completing their doctoral training\, and committed to acquiring new s
 kills and experience in a multi-disciplinary field such as complex systems
  science\, can benefit from postdoctoral training where such opportunities
  to broaden research experience and acquire new knowledge and skills.   
 The James S. McDonnell Foundation 21st Century Postdoctoral Fellowship Awa
 rd in Understanding Dynamic and Multi-scale Systems is intended to provide
  students in the final stages of completing a Ph.D. degree more freedom in
  identifying and securing postdoctoral training opportunities.  Following
  a multi-phase review of applications\, selected pre-doctoral students are
  granted “letters of intent to fund” that the student can use in negot
 iating with potential postdoctoral training institutions while the student
  is in the final phase of graduate school.\n\nFunding:       $200\,00
 0\n\nDuration:      2-3 years\n\nEligibility: The JSMF Fellowship is a
  unique opportunity for students with an interest in and an aptitude for c
 omplexity science who are in the final stages of completing their Ph.D. an
 d looking to make a significant change in direction for their first postdo
 ctoral fellowship (field of study\, model organism\, theory vs experimenta
 l\, etc.) that will either be difficult or impossible without an external 
 source of funding.  Students should anticipate activating the Fellowship 
 between June 2021 and February 28\, 2022. This Fellowship is not intended 
 for individuals that already have completed a Ph.D. or students that have 
 already identified a postdoctoral position and a postdoctoral mentor.  \
