Jobs & Appointments

sistemaFutura seeks an experienced computational social scientist to collaborate on two ABMs we are building: on financial behaviors and on health behaviors. We currently have a 4 month opening, but that is likely to increase. We combine behavioral science insights and interventions in the field with our models, so BeSci experience is welcome, but not not required.

This PhD represents an exciting opportunity to develop cutting edge methods of agent-based model building and analysis on a socially relevant topic. You will be expected to translate theoretical mechanisms of economic inequality and segregation into programmable rules of actions for agents within an agent-based model. You will implement these mechanisms and integrate them[…]

To develop simulation models to assess the impact of aporophobia (rejection of the poor) on countries’ welfare states and social variables such as poverty and inequality. The selected candidate should provide technical support to the project on modelling and simulation based on agents, design experiments, analyse simulation results and contribute to research articles.

Are you an ambitious researcher looking for your next challenge? Do you want to apply your quantitative skills to provide insight into policy? Do you want to further your career in one of the UK’s leading research intensive Universities?

Dear colleagues (apologies for cross-posting),

Please feel free to circulate the following job opportunities among your peers.

I am looking to hire three postdocs in Computational Social Science at The Alan Turing Institute, the UK’s national institute for data science and AI. They will work as part of the Policy Modelling Theme, in an exciting research environment, and with a unique opportunity to have impact in real-world policymaking. These positions are for two years and take place […]

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.

Adaptive resilient economy: responding to shocks under boundedly-rational economic expectations

We focus on modeling economy as an adaptive complex system. Heterogeneous economic agents with bounded rationality and imperfect information make decisions and interact with each other giving rise to macroeconomic phenomena. Economies globally become more interconnected and prone to shocks (incl. climate-induced natural hazards). How do networked economies recover and evolve in face of adversities?
