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/" moz-do-not-send="true">
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/"
moz-do-not-send="true">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>
