Developing artificial populations for digital twins and ABMs

UNU-Macau is looking for researchers with background in computer science, data science, computer-ba­sed modelling, computational social science, digital humanities or a related field, and focus on research areas related to data science and their use applied to topics already addressed by the Institute: cyber-security, health, artificial intelligence, etc., are highly welcome.

Researchers from the College of Forestry, Wildlife and Environment at Auburn University are implementing a 4-year project to understand the impacts of historical management activities on biodiversity of Alabama wildlife and to inform future approaches to habitat management on state lands. As part of this project, we are seeking a research assistant who will assist with coordinating all field- and office-based aspects of the project.

Fully funded MS assistantship using remote sensing data and field-based vegetation observations to examine past and future changes in wildlife habitat in Alabama.

Fully funded PhD assistantship modeling past and future changes in avian distributions on public lands throughout Alabama.

Seeking a Postdoctoral Researcher, specializing on climate and environmental data science, to support development of innovative and high-quality analytical solutions to help understand climate impacts, crop and location-specific risks and adaptation options, and inform relevant investments in sustainable agriculture and climate adaptation.

We are looking for diverse participants for a paid, hands-on summer research experience to learn more about the real-world impacts of disinformation. Students will choose topics that align with faculty expertise and pursue research projects that advance their skills in valuable STEM areas including data science, data analytics, information retrieval, applied machine learning, web archiving, and social computing.

We are looking for a postdoctoral researcher to lead a participatory modelling study that analyses the vulnerability of Spanish rural communities to the compounded effects of climate change, depopulation and agricultural trade, and explores the feasibility and effectiveness of vulnerability mitigation policies.

Questions can be directed to Dr. Pat Zollner using pzollner@purdue.edu.

We are seeking to appoint a Postdoctoral Research Assistant (PDRA) for a continuing interdisciplinary project to build an agent-based model (ABM) to represent the extraction of fish by fishing vessels in open ocean fisheries and the associated effects on ocean ecological systems. The goal of this effort will be to identify pragmatic fisheries management strategies tailored both to the complexity of the ocean ecosystem, and the limitations of social, economic and regulatory systems.
