Institution Type Private University
Outline Meiji University Global COE Program, "Formation and Development of Mathematical Sciences Based on Modeling and Analysis" was selected as "Global COE Program FY2008" by Japan's Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology. We are accepting applications for outstanding postdoctoral fellows who promote cooperative research with our program members. A few positions are available for next-generation scientists from all over the world.
(cf. Super-Postdoctoral Fellow Position are also open at the Meiji University Global COE Program [Starting date: 1st April 2011].）

As seen in the evolution of life, complex systems are continuing to evolve, through uncertain fluctuations, with dynamic changes and self-organization. Such systems are observed not only within the biological domain but also throughout developing societies and the natural world. A non-linearity, hidden within these domains, is gradually being revealed. Now that a huge amount of data can be collected, one of the most urgent challenges facing mathematical science is to obtain a clearer understanding of these systems. The key solution for this challenge resides in the innovation of "Mathematical Modeling and Analysis", the mission of which is to attain a clear-cut understanding of these phenomena through modeling and analysis.

The Global COE Program has been executed by the Meiji Institute for Advanced Study of Mathematical Sciences (MIMS), an affiliated institute of Meiji University, as a center for education and research, focusing on studies of complex phenomena in society, nature, and biological bodies. Although we value those realistic models, already widely utilized, which aim at the quantitative reproduction of phenomena, here we aspire rather to establish a new kind of mathematical modeling and analysis, based on the construction of an extraction model that can clarify and comprehend the nature of phenomena.
