NECSI Fellows remain in residence at their home institutions and receive financial support for travel to NECSI to participate in special programs and research. Collaborations continue year round.

NECSI Postdoc and Student Fellows participate in:

- educational programs at NECSI in selected areas of advanced studies of the approach and methods of complex systems science;

- research activities and publications of NECSI through collaboration and mentoring by NECSI faculty and postdocs; and

- special programs for NECSI Fellows.

Fellows are appointed for a three- to five-year term.  For more information, visit:

Faculty Fellows Program
The NECSI faculty fellows program provides a unique opportunity to participate and develop new research in complex systems through collaborations at NECSI. This program of three- to five-year NECSI appointments offers outstanding faculty from the US or internationally the opportunity to join in NECSI research activities in complex systems science and its application across academic disciplines and social concerns.

NECSI Fellows can also participate in learning or teaching in educational programs. NECSI Fellows remain in residence at their home institutions and receive support for annual travel to NECSI to participate in special programs and collaborations. Research collaborations continue year round. The goal of the program is to dramatically advance the rate of contribution of complex system science to science and society through promoting successful research collaborations and publications.
