Jobs & Appointments

I am looking to hire two postdocs in Complexity Economics and/or Computational Social Science at The Alan Turing Institute. They will work on a large and exciting project on shocks and resilience, and will be closely collaborating with experts from other fields such as epidemiology, biology, data science, and spatial modelling.

Please note that Boston University has just announced that its Computing & Data Sciences Department will be hiring three new faculty positions and is now accepting applications to its new Ph.D. program.

The three faculty positions are wide open to computational social sciences and computational humanities. Click here for more information https://www.bu.edu/cds-faculty/join-us/faculty-positions-available/. Click here to apply: https://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/17169.
