TU Delft has an opening for a postdoctoral research fellow at the intersection of social simulation and high-performance algorithms. The goal of project is to develop methods to speed large-scale agent-based modelling (ABMs), for example by means of effective parallelization using High Performance Computing (HPC). The use of machine learning for efficient ABM simulations will enable uncertainty and global sensitivity analysis of large ensembles of ABM runs. The postdoc will use the HPC c[…]

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-[…]
