http://www.univ-rouen.fr/MTG/index.htm Job description: Modelling and simulation of complex geographical systems open new perspectives both in fundamental research and in public or private land use planning. The use of computer science methods linked to complex system study such as cellular automata and multiagent systems, requires high computing skills, which slows down their diffusion among the geography community and therefore among land use planners. Simulation platform MAGeo aims at […]

Systems Science is an interdisciplinary program that involves multiple academic units and reports to the Dean of Graduate Studies. The Program emphasizes systems research and practice, with an academic focus on complexity science, computational intelligence, computer modeling and simulation, data mining, system control and optimization, and systems theory. Research and practice are interdisciplinary, making use of systems ideas and methods to address complex scientific, technological, […]

The post-doctoral project is part of the European integrated project SPICOSA (Science and Policy Integration for COastal Assessment System- http://www.spicosa.eu/ ) applying a system approach framework in order to carry out assessment methodologies through system dynamics modelling, regarding a set of coastal zone issues towards their integrated management. One of the challenges for a system approach applied to coastal zone is to combine and integrate processes and components with […]

The Center for Tropical Marine Ecology (ZMT) in Bremen has been recently elected member of the prestigious Leibniz Association, which is supported by the German Federal and State Governments. Through its research, ZMT contributes to developing science-based strategies for sustainable use of tropical coastal systems. To strengthen its research on the analysis of coastal tropical environments the ZMT is seeking a PhDStudent in ecological modelling. Focus will be on the spatial representation […]
