The Chalmers University of Technology is hiring two Postdocs to work on Theoretical Foundations of AI Safety. If you have a background in Physics, Math, or ML and want to tackle AI alignment at a fundamental level alongside UCL, apply!
We're hiring! Global shocks – wars, pandemics, climate extremes – don't just disrupt supply chains. They reshape societies. We're looking for a Postdoc to help us model exactly that, using ABM and complexity science. 3-year funded position in Vienna. Apply by April 1, 2026.
The International Conference on Embodied Cognitive Science (ECogS 2026) is scheduled for November 9–13, 2026, at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST) Graduate University in Japan.
Since Aristotle, we have attempted to avoid self-causation, giving rise to ontic dualisms, Gödel's incompleteness theorems, and pancomputationalism. In this article, Francisco Varela develops an alternative axiomatic paradigm whose arithmetic and algebra allow us to address self-reference. The implications and interpretation of employing such an alternative mathematical foundation are remarkable, and that is why I will examine it today.

The Max Planck Institute for Behavioral Economics, together with the University of Cologne’s Graduate School in Management, Economics and Social Sciences (CGS), invites candidates to apply for Doctoral Fellowships in Economics.
Collective behaviour is all around us from flocks of birds to schools of fish to human crowds. Collective behaviour happens across multiple spatial and temporal scales making it one of the most ubiquitous, natural phenomena around us. For a long time, organismal collective behaviour has been studied separately across many disciplines from biology to ecology to physics to engineering. The aim of this school is to bring multiple disciplinary approaches to collective behaviour, studying a wide variety of organisms using different methods. The school thus aims to prepare the next generation of scientists that are exposed to a breadth of approaches to study collective behaviour.
