The successful applicant will develop models of future urban heating infrastructure with respect to the energy economic framing and climate protection targets in cooperation with Fraunhofer IEE. The focus is on the identification and mitigation of obstacles for individual investors under consideration of relevant stakeholders such as municipality, public utility companies, plumbers, and energy advisors[…]

The selected candidate will be appointed a part-time position (0,5 fte) as a Forsker/Researcher in the NORCE Kristiansand office. The working language is English, although knowledge of or willingness to learn Norwegian will be an additional advantage.

We are looking for a researcher to complement our Modelling and Simulation team. Initially, the successful candidate will be responsible for programming agent-based models of urban logistic systems in a H2020 grant that brings together indust[…]

Cirad recruits a computer scientist to work on CORMAS, an ABM platform oriented towards participatory modelling (co-design of models and interactive simulation).
You will be in charge of developing CORMAS in the Pharo environment. As participation is the essence of CORMAS, its development requires theoretical and operational knowledge of Human-Machine Interfaces to reuse technologies and design ergonomic systems.

The Center for Mind and Culture (CMAC) is a non-profit research center that innovates creative solutions for urgent social problems. We are committed to a radically interdisciplinary, non-partisan approach, and uniting the humanities, social sciences, and data sciences. CMAC mobilizes an international network of experts to develop cutting-edge tools and disseminate visionary insights to public and professional stakeholders. We aim to deepen understanding of complex adaptive social systems i[…]

We have an opportunity for a Research Associate in Computational Social Simulation. This post will be associated with Professor Alison Heppenstall’s Health & Sustainability workstream in the Systems Science in Public Health programme, MRC/CSO Social and Public Health Sciences Unit. You will develop individual-level models, together with the underpinning methods, that capture and simulate the dynamic relationships between the way different places seek to manage their transition to carbon neu[…]

Fondazione Eni Enrico Mattei (FEEM) is looking for qualified and motivated researchers to fill 3 positions in the field of Climate Change Adaptation Modelling. The candidates will join the team working in the area of “Climate Change Adaptation in Coastal Areas” (ADAPT@VE), a research program aimed at understanding and interpreting the current societal changes in response to the challenges for adaptating to climate change. The goal is to develop answers to key questions concerning the multi-[…]

In the POLISES group at the Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research UFZ Leipzig, Germany, a three years PhD Position on “Modelling human-environment systems: How to effectively design climate risk instruments?” is offered from April 1, 2022 on with a methodological focus on agent-based modelling.
