You will work on a new project, funded by the European Research Council, called Data Assimilation for Agent-Based Models: Applications to Civil Emergencies (DUST). The utilmate aim of the project[…]

SMARTEES is a Horizon2020 project aimed at simulating a number of successful social innovations in the energy transition, and developing - together with people in the field - a “sandbox model” to experiment with strategies to stimulate societal change. A total of 11 European partners will work together in this exiting project that will run for 3 years. We hope SMARTEES will make a difference in policy making, addressing the social forces that often are critical in reaching a tipping point […]

The National Laboratory of Public Policy (LNPP) is hiring two research assistants for its simulation unit (USim). The simulation unit is dedicated to the development and active use of simulation models for the analysis, evaluation and improvement of public policies. The goal is to develop models that are as close as possible to the context of the study and allow us to analyse effects of public policies ex-ante. The unit specialises in agent-based modelling but is open to other techniques […]

Working environment: The post-doctorate will be hosted in the Laboratoire d’Ingénierie pour les Systèmes Complexes (LISC) at Irstea (http://www.irstea.fr/en/accuei l) Center of Clermont-Ferrand (France). Researchers of LISC are specialized in computer sciences and applied mathematics, with a solid experience of interdisciplinary projects. They develop individual based models of ecological and social dynamics. The post-doctorate is funded by the FuturICT 2.0 project (http://futurict2.eu/) […]

The Human-Environment Systems group at Boise State University is looking for a programmer to assist with optimizing code for an agent-based model of endangered species. The model is described in Carter, N., Levin, S., Barlow, A. and Grimm, V., 2015. Modeling tiger population and territory dynamics using an agent-based approach. Ecological Modelling, 312, pp.347-362. Primary tasks that the programmer would assist with include efforts to: • Develop algorithms to effectively upscale the model […]

Dear, Please see attached the official ad for postdoctoral positions in the NIH-funded Center for Modeling Complex Interactions (CMCI) at the University of Idaho. CMCI plans to hire two postdoctoral fellows interested in applying agent-based modeling in biomedical research. The specialty is open, but we are particularly interested in systems biology, statistical, and agent-based modeling. Expertise in more than one modeling approach and more than one programming language is […]

Opening of a PhD position at the Department of Economics, University of Torino in cooperation with Eurac. The PhD position is thought as resource in a H2020 project that studies social, economic, behavioral aspects of energy transitions – smart grids, technology innovation, adoption of renewable resources, etc. We are looking for motivated candidates with a strong mathematical, programming background, and/or specific agent based modelling experience and social network analysis. The […]

VIRTUAL LITHICS: DEVELOPING AN INDIVIDUAL-BASED MODEL (IBM) FOR THE SIMULATION OF STONE ASSEMBLAGES The aim of this research is to is to develop a new approach, based on simulation models to strengthen inferences from prehistoric stone tool assemblages. The work of the Research Assistant will be to develop and test the simulation models. The project will use a modelling approach to simulate the formation and survival of stone tools. The primary aim is to create model assemblages under […]
