Tsinghua University invites applications for a Postdoctoral Fellowship in Brain-Inspired Sparse AI and Complex Systems Intelligence under the Shuimu Scholar Program. The research is conducted at the Center for Complex Network Intelligence (CCNI), which integrates information theory, machine intelligence, and network science to study adaptive processes in complex systems ranging from molecular and biological networks to ecological and socio-economic systems. The program aims to translate advanced mathematical frameworks from theoretical physics—such as topology and manifold theory—into tools for understanding many-body interactions in life sciences and for developing next-generation AI algorithms. The research also focuses on plasticity phenomena, self-organizing networks, and brain connectivity, with applications in systems biology, personalized biomedicine, drug therapy design, neuroscience, and data science.
