Our research group is developing an agent-based simulation tool to understand how human and natural systems interact in response to agricultural best management practices (BMPs). This research will seek to identify and assess the factors influencing farmer’s responses to proposed BMPs, develop simulation tools to link agent-based models of farmer decision making to a hydrological model of nutrient loading, and model scenarios to explore the resilience of watershed systems to changes in […]

The Department of Natural Resources and the Environment at the University of New Hampshire (UNH) invites applications for a Postdoctoral Research Associate to work on an interdisciplinary project focused on the bioeconomics of managing invasive plants in forests with heterogeneous landownership. The project seeks to integrate models of landscape composition, invasive plant distributions, and bioeconomic models to address both basic and applied research questions about optimal invasive […]

We are offering a 100% PhD researcher position on housings environmental footprint at the Laboratory for Human-Environment Relations in Urban Systems (HERUS), ENAC, at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (EPFL) in Lausanne, Switzerland. The research focus of HERUS is on transitions of urban systems towards sustainability. HERUS is an interdisciplinary team, consisting of social scientists and natural scientists. We combine social science methods with material and energy flow models, […]

The Helmholtz Association is providing long-term investment for the establishment of a new Research Group on Land Use Change at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology’s Campus Alpin (IMK-IFU) located in Garmisch-Partenkirchen (). This Group aims to advance knowledge of the causes and consequences of change in socio-ecological systems from local to global scales by: a) understanding the fundamental principles that underpin the interactions between people and their environment and encoding these […]

We seek a quantitative scientist to drive the development of an integrated computer simulation model that uses innovative generalized agent-based representations of coupled humans and natural system components across scales. http://www.jobs.ac.uk/job/ANG825/research-associate/ This work contributes to a broader project bringing together social and natural scientists from four major countries (Brazil, China, UK, and USA), with influential stakeholder organizations, to form the International […]

The Beyond Center for Fundamental Concepts in Science (http://beyond.asu.edu), the School of Life Sciences (http://sols.asu.edu), and the School of Computing, Informatics, and Decision Systems Engineering (http://cidse.engineering.asu.edu) at Arizona State University invite applications for a postdoctoral research position investigating mechanisms of emergent computation in collectivedecision making by eusocial insects. The anticipated research will combine techniques from information […]

1. Uses a high degree of concentration to plan, develop, build, test, validate and operate multiscale agent-based simulation models for a variety of nonlinear, time-based problems within ALSAC, drawing on a current inventory of predictive models as well as exploratory work. Multiscale agent-based simulation models for strategic and/or tactical applications in Java or C++ produce system-level financial and other outputs (metrics, forecasts) based on (a) consumer econometrics, algorithms, […]
